Artist work and analysis.
Citation preview
Anthony Gormley DriE VIII 2011
• The meaning of the picture is a person falling into water. • It isn’t telling as such but it is just showing a person falling in water. • The purpose is showing the percep1on of drowning. • The composi1on used in this piece is fairly basic and contrasts as the background is
white and wire is black. • Gormley’s work has inspired me and has given me some ini1al ideas for what I
want to do for my wire model.
Prac1ce analysis Music video analysis Delta Heavy – Get By The music video is aimed at young people and teenagers. The material used is children’s toys and games and tools to destroy the toys and games. The success of the video is that some of the toys have a stop mo1on technique of moving the objects to make them create sound waves, which are synced to the beat of the music. Django Django – Default The video shows split screen of the band performing their song, techniques used in the video are black and white for an old effect, a material that is used is duck tape and a technique used in the video is stop mo1on.
Prac1ce analysis • Art with salt • The video art with salt is not a music video however it is a very interes1ng
and ar1st video, it uses material as salt and a card to create a detailed picture of a man there is also scary but ac1on packed music playing in the background which is relevant to the material in the video.
• • Pop up book brought to life • The video ‘pop up book brought to life’ is also not a music video but shows
a pop up book of different scenes then zooms into the page and a man with an ac1on is shown in each different scenes, techniques and material used in this video is projec1on and black and white colours.
• • Corey Taylor – Xm@s • The music video ‘xm@s’ by Corey Taylor is a computerized cartoon it also
uses various materials and techniques such as bright vibrant colours and a simplis1c designed unique video.
How to analyze an artwork • Do not describe what is on the page. • Subject maXer-‐ what is the work about? What’s the focus? • Materials-‐ consider the effect the use of the materials has on the viewer • Technique-‐ skillful use of materials? Could it be improved? What’s the effect on the outcome? • Success-‐ Does the work communicate what the ar1st wants it to? Does it make you ask ques1ons?
Does it make you think? Does it challenge the viewer? • Composi1on-‐ The layout of the work Arrangement, make-‐up, forma1on, build, weave, construct,
order, focus, balance, symmetry asymmetry, harmony, scale repe11on • Is there a design? • Does it look balanced? • Are there any repeated shapes or symmetry? • The formal elements Colour – Form – Line – Shape – Space – Texture – Tone • Materials and Techniques-‐ what art materials have been used? How have they been used? • What does the work communicate? • Has it got a meaning? • Is it telling a story? • Does it serve a purpose? • Has the ar1st worked from memory or real life? • And how can you tell?
Evalua1on What 3D technique and materials have you used?
• I have used shredded paper and pva glue which I covered a plas1c cup in to create
a 3d effect. • I used plaster over my wire models to create a body over the wire frame. • The technique I used was just bending and twis1ng the wire to hold it into
posi1on. • The meaning behind my wire and plaster experiment is ‘sport’ as the model is
holding a tennis racket • I used some ideas from Anonthy Gormley’s pieces of work for my wire model.
Colour-‐ The paper used is white and the background is crème and brown, the shadow colours are black. Form-‐ The form of the image is soE. Line-‐ The majority of the lines in the picture are straight and cut out. Shape-‐ The shape of the picture is a 2D A4 sheet of paper with a 3d bird s1cking out. Space-‐ The space of the picture looks as if it is jumping into the space above the piece of paper. Texture-‐ The texture is smooth from the paper this is important as it shows the shadows beXer. Tone-‐ The tone of the image is soE and shows shades of greys. What does the work communicate? The work communicates freedom and escape. Has it got a meaning-‐ The meaning to this picture is life and reaching out. Does it serve a purpose-‐ The purpose the image serves is a bird flying. This is a decora1ve art work designed to make us ques1on our freedom. Has the arKst worked from memory or real life? The ar1st has worked from memory And how can you tell? As he has made a bird out of paper its likely he was looking at a photogaph of a bird, a bird would not have been able to pose to him for that long.
Peter Callasan Distant Wish Analysis
Felipe Yung Amongst large brushes and paint, Felipe Yung cul1vates roots, reasons in organic textures in a singular way and brings to paper uniquely shaped images, influenced by his 1reless researches on Asian culture. His history begins at the neighborhood of Vila Mariana in São Paulo, and it reaches as far as Moscow. Pain1ngs and spray-‐paints, which transcend trends and tell the history of Brazilian Graffi1. His work permeates various worlds. Flip works through the peaceful coexistence of certain opposi1ons such as figura1ve and abstract. In a contemporary gesture he conjugates figura1ve and abstrac1on, such as his painted trees which when seen up close are no longer the figure of a tree but abstract lines, camouflage.
Valerie Hegarty
• In the pieces viewed here, Hegarty theatrically reconstructs ‘masterpieces’ based on works by Frederick Church and Thomas Moran from fragile materials such as foam-‐core, paper, and wood, before falsifying their ruina1on. RoXed and baXered nearly beyond recogni1on, Niagara Falls literally pours from the wall as a twisted wreck; while Cracked Canyon is broken through with a seismic fissure running from the gallery floor to ceiling.
• Through Hegarty’s eradica1ve interven1on, her objects gain both formal and narra1ve authority. Capitalising on her highly aXenuate subversion of materials, Hegarty’s work poses as artefacts of known history gone awry, envisioning an alterna1ve world order of smug irony and poe1c jus1ce.
Jonny Briggs
Jonny Briggs was born in 1985 in London. A lot of Briggs’ work has a ‘spooky’ and creepy look, effect and feel to them, as seen in pictures. He also does a lot of ‘face swapping’ work which is simple to make but gives an extravagant effect and can change just a normal portrait into a work of art.
I chose Jonny Briggs to research as he has used nature for some of his work and as my project is based on nature I linked the 2 together.
Analysis
This piece of work I created focuses on nature and natural life. I created the piece out of clay, a book, twigs and leafs. I covered the piece in leaves and twigs to allow the viewer to understand the true meaning of the nature behind the work. I covered the leaves in pva glue to prevent them from looking ‘dead’. The scale of this project was clearly a lot smaller sized than a normal tree but I have used certain aspects such as the leaves, as branches on my small scaled tree for a realis1c effect. The piece is well balanced and appearance wise looks balanced due to the book being the base holding the clay stump of the tree in place. The only repeated shapes on the project are leaves as I have used selec1ons of leaves from various different trees. Over all the piece has a rough texture due to it being combined with natural resources. The colours used are all also nature related (shades of greens and browns).
