Phase 1:Observation
This painting combines elements of abstraction and surrealism, presenting two different time periods with the same location scene in the same image.
For example, the original lively street turns into a primitive jungle with blue sky, green grass, small animals and harmony.
The bright daytime in the primitive jungle contrasts sharply with the quiet night in the traffic. The special texture in the picture makes these landscapes more durable.
In terms of visual elements, the colors he uses are mainly divided into green and brown, with a very strong sense of contrast, which can be remembered at a glance.

Phase 2:Analysis
The design is by Harmony and Unity, visually these two completely different ecosystems are united by being on the same plane and level, the city buildings in the background and the buildings in nature are two different styles but they exist on the same structure. The vines and trees climbing on the walls and high buildings, overpowering the connection between the two different images, lead the eye to a well-balanced picture.
Two contrasting colors of light and dark are used throughout the work, creating a strong contrast between the city at night and the pristine environment in the sunlight. In the center of the picture, a deer can be seen at a glance, and the human walking on the sidewalk also forms a sharp contrast, reflecting the different civilizations of the two different worlds. The antlers of the deer are used as a symbol in the center of the image, expressing its values of nature and sustainability.

Phase 3: INTERPRETATION
"Zebra Crossing" oil on 50x50cm wood (2020). "Recover" oil on 50x70cm wood (2019). "Breathe" oil on 30x30cm wood (2020).
These three paintings were each created by David during 2019-2020. These works are very cerebral and bold, non-realistic and abstract. The contrast between the two "different worlds" in one painting is striking. His paintings are basically surrealist masterpieces, attempting to break through the concept of reality that conforms to logic and actuality, blending reality and fantasy to achieve an absolutely surreal situation.
This is also the link between urban architecture and natural ecology. As human civilization advances, it needs to pay attention to the balance between the natural and social environments, so that the future can continue to have unlimited possibilities. In this series, Ambarzumjan takes ordinary objects and scenes from daily life as his inspiration, and through his paintbrushes, these ordinary objects and scenes are given new life and meaning. His skillful use of color and line transforms ordinary things into stunning works of art, demonstrating his deep understanding and unique insight into art.
In addition, Ambarzumjan has incorporated his thoughts and feelings about life and society into the Brush Series. He expresses his understanding of the world and exploration of human nature through his paintings, so that viewers can feel the artist's deep emotional heritage and humanistic concern while enjoying his works. As David once said, "I just want to express my admiration for the planet on which mankind depends for its survival, which has nurtured so much wonder and beauty, but has also borne so much for us."

Weekly feedback:
WEEK 4:
general feedback: Unified the color palette of the overall typography, coordinated the fonts of the overall post, and put all links and background information neatly into the blog.
specific feedback: My teacher said that my typography needed to be adjusted, that the font wasn't holistic enough, that the overall colors needed to be uniform, and that I needed to own the links and background information for each picture.
WEEK 5:
general feedback: More exploration of the three artworks is added, finding theories and ideas about surrealism. It also develops a narrative of the design principles of the three works being displayed.
specific feedback: The design principles used in the works need to be demonstrated, as well as the terminology of surrealism, and the three works require in-depth information gathering.
Reflective:
I made very few professional errors in the content of this week's lesson, as the week had just opened up and I hadn't completed all of it. In the existing content the teacher pointed out a problem I've been having: typography
My typography and colors were pointed out to be a bit messy because I have a habit of making some paragraphs bigger and some smaller, and the colors are not uniform, which makes the whole blog very difficult to read. My teacher pointed out my problem and asked me to readjust it. After I made the adjustments, I realized that it was indeed as the teacher had said, and it gave me a new perspective on creating content for my blog.
