Art Criticism

1. DESCRIBE: What do you see?
I see a big thing maybe a person eating another person. The person looks like a woman.
2. ANALYZE: How is the work composed (use art terms! Ex: value, shape, line, texture, color)
The color brings out pain and suspicion. The texture is smooth and rough at the same time and the only thing you can see is the main idea.
3. INTERPRET: What message does the artwork communicate to you? (What is going on? What was the artist trying to tell the world? What is the overall mood? Is it making fun? Is it serious?) It seems angry and mad and cannibalism. It seems like it’s trying to portray the time period in which these people lived in which is romanticism.
4. JUDGE: What do you think of this work? Is it successful? (The “couch test” question):
I will not put this on my wall. It’s very disturbing.

second picture

1.       DESCRIBE: What do you see?

I see an unconscious guy who seems like he was writing. He was in the middle of something important it seems.

2.       ANALYZE: How is the work composed

The color looks bright. Also he is slouched in the tub so curvy lines.

3.       INTERPRET: What message does the artwork communicate to you? (What is going on? What was the artist trying to tell the world? What is the overall mood? Is it making fun? Is it serious?

It seems like he got murdered. And the message seems solemn but unexpected.

4.        JUDGE: What do you think of this work? Is it successful? (The “couch test” question):

It does seem brighter but I don’t think I’ll put it in my house. It’s not really my style.

 

Neoclassism vs Romanticism

I think I like Neoclassicism a little more because it seems more of my style. It seems like a revival that all periods of time go through. And since Neoclassicism was a sort of rebirth I liked that period of time. Everything was brighter and happier, more sure of themselves. Contrast to Romanticism, which portrayed darkness and turmoil. They tried to stick to so many rules that people wasn't even sure if they were right and they were confused, and lost and it was shown through these paintings. The music I chose was the fifth symphony by Beethoven. This music was symbolically literate to my slide show and paintings that were chosen. It was very dramatic and calm at the same time which really flowed with my paintings.

It seems like you’re smarter if you’re left brained, and you’re more creative if you’re right brained.
What did you think of the test and its accuracy?
I think it’s pretty close to accurate, because I am a pretty creative sporadic person.

Title:Modern Era of art

This term Modern Era referrers to the present century. This period ranges from the year 1900 to the present time. Some of the music produced uses some repetitive features of the music of the romantic era, but most of the music produced has been through a type of restructuring. The music is very different from the music produced during the earlier periods. Composers of this time don’t try to keep up with trends. The music composed during this period is more vague and clear is not really defined to them. It does not follow a particular theme or pattern as we see today.
