1. Explain the art criticism process. a. Describe the artwork. List what you see in the artwork. What images do you see? How would you describe it over the photo. Which art elements? Describe the color schemes. b. Analyze the artwork. List art elements and design principles. Color, value, line shape/form, texture, space. Balance, Emphasis, Harmony, Variety, Movement/Rhythm, Proportion. c. Interpret the artwork. What is the mood? What feeling is communicated? What ideas are represented? What is the story being told? d. Judge the artwork. What do you think of the artwork? Is it successful? Why or why not? Support your opinions with evidence or criteria (Art skills, meaning, creative, realistic) 2. Critique an older piece of your work. The watercolor piece. In this paint, two girls are walking on the road among the buildings. This picture was painted with watercolor and some pen work. This artwork has the light colors and mild tone. This artwork has one participate. Most of the buildings are showing as smaller than the girls. It do not has a special skill except salt. The salt was used to express the texture of the road. It shows to us two girls on the road with mild tone of color. This is not a harsh work, just showing the normal day. The one thing that need to improve is the color. The concentration of this color is too light. It need to be used less water and more watercolor. Because of the concentration, this work looks like to be unfinished. 3. Pick 3 Questions.
1. What is art? Art is the one of the ways to express one's opinion, emotion, or feeling. How about the picture of nature? In my opinion, the picture shows to us how the photographer think about the whole nature. Every artwork includes the maker's thought. 2. Illustration Fridays (Q 9) Illustration Fridays was a big help to get more ideas from everything. It gives every different word and themes even that is unexpected to me. I usually drew or think something that I want or I had already concerned. However, through this work, it makes me to practice how to get ideas from anything. 3. Sketchbook (Q 17) Doing a lot of kinds drawing is good to improve the expressing skill. If people draw or do something that has the same skill to use, they would not be improved anymore. For those reasons, the warm-up works were the huge help to me to do the artwork in different ways.

What warm up is proving to be the most helpful so far in your portrait piece? Explain.
Gesture Drawings. Based on my own experience, drawing poses is the hardest part, but Gesture Drawing gave me a opportunity to draw person as seen. Hot toys has a lot of poses and I could know how to practice draw gesture. What did you find most surprising about the facial proportions and why? Every parts of face have a common ratio. At first, I thought every people has different ratio of their elements of face each other, however, that was not. People has only little less difference but mostly the ratio are similar.
2 different angle photos with black or white backdrop 1 detail shot Since completing the in-process blog post what has been your process since? I finished up with my work to make more smooth surface. After that, I painted on my piece with red and green as an apple. After at all, my piece be fired(glazed) and turned to a Glazeware. What do you find successful about the finished piece? Making the circular shape. Even the shape is not a perfect circle, make them to have the smooth surface. Making smooth surface is the hardest also most important thing of this work. What would you have changed if you were to do it again? Put more paint on this work and do not make them to have some creater. How does your piece show off the theme of "line?"
The shape of butterfly wings has a lot of lines and texture. How is your piece successful and what might you change if you were to do it again? I made this piece with many texutres and difficult shapes that waved a lot. If I do this again, I should have to make more details. This pieces has to many dark parts that used to simplify the pattern of the butterfly's own. What perspective did you use? 1, 2, or 3?
I used the whole (1, 2, and 3) perspective that we have learned in the class. Perspective is not depends certain one, but everything, every side have the perspective. Tell me about the photo, where did you take it? I took this photo in my home country when a day after my birthday. That time was my last birthday in my home country. What did you find difficult about the project? Watercolor was most hardest stuff in this project. It could not be re-painted on the missed color and it easily flew down onto the other color. Print
A process in which an artist repeatedly transfers an original image from one prepared surface to another. Inking Applying ink to the plate. This is done with a brayer, a roller with a handle. Transfer The paper or other material is pressed against the inked plate, and the ink is transferred to the new surface. Edition A series of identical prints made from the same plate. Relief Printing The artist cuts away the sections of a surface not meant to hold ink. Woodblock The method of printing in which the image to be printed is cut out on a block of wood and then inked. Escher uses two forms, the bird and an architectural structure and used a lot of view of point in one art with them. Steps Trace the shape of piece onto a paper. Place the point of the compass on the center and draw the largest circle. Trace the finished design onto the tracing paper. Use the dark marker to color the lines and shapes on the areas of linoleum. Use a bench hook to hold the linoleum safely in place. Squeeze out an inch of ink onto the inking late. Select the paper to make an edition of five prints.

What do you plan to do with your piece? How do you plan to finish it?
I want to make an apple with smooth surface of ceramic. The goal is to make the surface as smooth as possible. So I have a lot of curving problem with my work. 2. What things have you found difficult so far? How were they difficult? The curving problem. With hands, it's to hard to make balanced clay work. 3. What do you find successful so far? Making a circular shape and a lid. I have a perfect-not necessary-shape with my work. Especially, the lid has pretty solid shape and it can secure with her body well. 4. Explain your process up to this point. I made my greenware with coil method. I bonded the clay to each others and slipped with water to make the surface smooth. And tried to fill up the empty spaces between the clay. |
