Find Deliberate artwork (as opposed to nature or natural art)
Discover where there was an artist....and that artist had to make some decisions.
Research the area. Sports areas, buildings, paintings, sculpture, temporary shows, permanent exhibits. Artwork is everywhere.
PICK A PIECE OR TWO OF ARTWORK.
Record a VIDEO
(Not a piece of your artwork...or a friend's....THIS should be created by someone you don't know)
Using the examples of the visual components that we spoke:
Space, line, shape, tone, color, movement, and rhythm.
Decide how some of them were used in the artwork. What does that mean?
Look up and research on the internet to discover some of these yourself. Look at artwork online.
Take a look with a critical eye. Can you see the components in terms of Contrast and Affinity?
Ask yourself some questions? Take some pictures...take some movie shots.
• What visual components can you find in the art? How did the artist use them? How many are there?
• How does the use of this help to tell the story of this art? How can you get it? How can the artist have done it better? What can be done?
