Artist research

2024-10-28 03:15:12 UTC

This page in specific is kind of mixed with both initial ideas and research. Using pictures of the artists own artwork is a great start. They briefly analyse each one and discuss aspects such as style, period, medium etc. Additionally, they have taken it upon themselves to recreate a piece, utilisting similar styles, and techniques. Not only is it eye-catching, it also develops your skills as an artist.

Self-refection

2024-10-28 03:19:41 UTC

I really like the layout of these pages, as you get to see both the final artwork and their response. It's both visually pleasing to look at and accessible.

experimentation with brush types

2024-10-28 03:22:59 UTC

This photo came out a little blurry, but you get the idea. Having a page like this at the beginning of your book would be extremely beneficial to not only show your understanding of the brush types, but to also have as a reference for yourself when painting. Even doing a similar thing for each painting medium, (watercolour, acrylic, oil) to see how different brushes react with different paints.

Experimenting with materials

morris74 — 2024-10-28 03:34:11 UTC

The examiners like to see you look at other artists work and attempting to replicate what they have created; this can show you understand them in a creative way.

Colour theory

2024-10-28 03:46:58 UTC

Talking about the colour theory will help to establish the emotions and affects through the colours.

Experimentation

2024-10-28 03:51:37 UTC

This page specifically relates as it is experimentation with colour and brush strokes. How using different textures create different affects and overlapping colours make the reader feel.

2024-10-28 03:54:09 UTC

This page specifically talks about the ideas and research the artist had. The artist reasearched one artist that uses lots of colours for layering to make shapes and dimension. It is a very eye catching technique and is very useful.

Some things to ask yourself when look at artworks including your own choices in art making.

morris74 — 2024-10-28 04:33:11 UTC

What is the artist’s background? Is it relevant to the artwork you are analysing, if so, how is it relevant?

What is the title of the artwork? Does the title have any significance?

When and where was the artwork made?

Did the artwork serve a purpose? A purpose could be commercial, decorative, self expression, political, etc…

Does it fit into a particular genre? For example, religious, landscape, still Life, fantasy, etc…

Was the art part of a particular movement? Cubism, Impressionism, Pontalism, Futurism, American Abstract Expressionism, Surrealism?

Has finding out about the context of the artwork changed your response to the artwork in anyway?

Now it’s time to move onto looking at the style and the visual elements of the artwork. You may find that the style and visual elements connect with what you have discovered about the artwork, the artist and your own responses.

4. Examine the style and the visual elements of the artwork

Style

‘Style’ is the approach taken by the artist to portray a subject matter or express an idea / concept. It is the process and decisions made by the artist, the techniques used and the way the artist has used colour, line, light, composition, etc… It could have been influenced by an art movement the artist was involved in or have been influenced by something else. You may well have discovered this earlier in your analysis but try to answer the following questions / prompts the best you can…

What is the style of the artwork?

What does that style suggest about the artist’s point of view or place in time?

Analysing visual elements: Questions that may help

morris74 — 2024-10-28 04:37:07 UTC

Colour

What are the main colours used? / Is there a lack of colour?

What mood do the colours, or lack of colours, evoke?

If colours are used what do they traditionally represent?

Are the colours flat, smooth, aggressive or expressive?

Line

Are the lines definitive and hard? Irregular? Indistinct? Broken?

Do objects in the artwork blend into the background or do they stand out off the canvas?

Light

What is the effect of light in the artwork?

Does light illuminate a scene, object/s or character/s in the artwork?

Does light shadow a scene, object/s or character/s in the artwork?

Does light / dark unite or divide in the artwork?

In what direction is the artist trying to direct your gaze by the use of light / dark?

Composition

Do the colours, poses or objects have any impact on the composition?

Are objects harmonious with one another or at odds?

Do the objects equally share the viewer’s attention?

Where does the composition lead the eye to?

Do other elements make up the artwork’s composition? For example, shape and space.
