Please deeply consider the artwork below, choose one of her works to analyze, and then write a few sentences about it.
- Please elaborate on the artistic medium. This week we completed a detailed introduction to PHOTO + VIDEO + DIGITAL ART. Perform a detailed analysis to include the below inquiry areas:
- How would you categorize Gillian's artwork? Photography? Video? Sculpture? Performance art? Mixed Media? Consider all of the specific types introduced in this chapter: photography (portrait, conceptual/fine art, photojournalism), video, film, cinema, etc. Once you've decided, explain how you know based on what you see.
- What surface materials do you think were used based on what you see?
- Please spend some time thinking about the formal components of this artwork (Chapters 1-6: Line, Shape, Color, Value, Texture, Space, Time, Motion, etc.)
- Attached below in the discussion guidelines section, you will find a "visual analysis guide." Each week, prior to this one, we did a formal analysis of the art through the lens of the chapter's focus areas. For the rest of the semester, things will be less guided. You will use the attached guide as a review to all the new terms and areas covered, and I want you to choose (2) major areas to focus on and discuss here. Instead of me telling you "analyze this artwork for line", for example, your challenge will be to understand what elements of art and principles of design are most applicable and interesting when considering the artwork identified for discussion. This will help you transition to talking about art at museums and galleries much more naturally. Enjoy the challenge! This is also great prep for the final exam.
- What art category is this and why? Realism, Expressionism, Abstraction, or nonobjective
- What is the subject of this artwork (the noun/the what)?
- What is the content/concept of this artwork (the ideas and intellectual interpretations)?
- [ Hints - The following are additional questions to get you thinking but they do not need to be individually answered: What ideas do you think this artist is trying to express about the subject? What is the intellectual interpretation? What cultural concepts are being expressed? Feminism? Racial identity? Gender identity? Sexuality? Are there historical references - which ones? Is there symbolism or iconography?
