DESCRIPTION
ANALYSIS
INTERPRETATION
EVALUATION
|
|
Description
|
A detailed account, usually non-argumentative and value-free, of what is seen. Describe only what is certain, leaving questionable objects and ideas for later. (artist’s name, year created, process, description of objects, subject matter)
|
|
Analysis

A breaking up of the whole artwork into parts to find out their similarities and differences, function and organization. How do the individual parts relate to one another or to the whole artwork?
|
|
Interpretation

Sculpture Process
|
Additive, Subtractive, Casting, Installations and Performance.
|
|
Additive
|
The sculptor builds the work, adding material as the work proceeds. (MODELING clay, ASSEMBLAGE of parts, CONSTRUCTION)
Modeling- Clay for example
Assemblage-- created by compiling and assembling objects (usually found).
Construction--building form
|
|
Subtractive
|
The artist begins with a mass of material and removes or subtracts it until the form is finished. CARVING
|
|
Casting
|
The technique of pouring liquid material into a mold to solidify, remove, then finish to create a 3-D object.
|
|
Installations
|
Uses sculptural materials and other media to modify the way the viewer experiences a particular space. They can be a boundary-challenge for the viewer.
|
|
Relief
|
Sculpture that extends from the plane it is attached to.
|
|
Low Relief and High Relief
|
Low Relief raised slightly from the background
High Relief extends from the background by half of its depth.
|
|
Casting
|
The technique of pouring liquid material into a mold to solidify, remove, then finish to create a 3-D object
|
|
performance pieces
|
involve time-based performances that may involve objects, sounds, film..
|
|
Paint terms
|
Pigment
Binder
Solvent or Vehicle
Support
Ground
Gesso and Rabbit skin glue
|
|
Pigment
|
The mineral or synthetic component that gives paint color.
|
|
Binder
|
The component that binds pigments. Can be natural or synthetic (animal glue, milk, egg, resins, polyrethanes, polyesters, acrylics, ect.)
|
|
Solvent or Vehicle
|
Used to thin down paint or to clean (water for acrylic; mineral spirits, acetone for oil paint).
|
|
Ground
|
the first layer of 'paint' on a support that provides a smooth surface and stops absorption by the support.
|
|
Gesso and Rabbit skin glue
|
Used as a ground; the first layer of ‘paint’ that sizes the canvas and provides a rigid support.
|
|
Paint Media
|
1. Encaustic
2. Fresco
3. Tempera
4. Oil Painting
5. Watercolor
6. Acrylic (synthetic)
|
|
Encaustic
|
Pigments are combined with hot wax as a binder; an ancient technique for painting but still used today.
|
|
Fresco
|
An ancient technique; pigments are combined with limewater and applied to a fresh lime plaster wall. Pigments chemically bind with the lime plaster wall- painting is permanent.
Cartoon and pounce
|
|
Cartoon and Pounce
|
Cartoon
The preliminary drawing for transfer to the wall (it is to scale).
Pounce
A way to trace cartoons to wall; perforate drawing ‘pounce’ charcoal to transfer drawing.
|
|
Tempera
|
Paint medium made by combining pigment with water and a gummy material- usually egg yolk. The effect is a fine, linear effect of color on the surface. A system used primarily until the end of the Middle Ages.
|
|
Water Color
|
Pigments are suspended in gum Arabic (the binder) and combined with water. Applied to dampened paper. Of all the paint media, can be made more transparent than others (well, maybe…).
|
|
Acrylic (synthetic):
|
Pigments are combined with an acrylic polymer emulsion as the binder (a synthetic material). Benefits: water-soluble and fast drying (easier to use). Came into commercial use in the 1950’s.
|
|
Oil Painting
|
Pigments are combined with oil as the binder (and thinned with solvent or vehicle). More versatile- a continuous tonal range is possible but dries very slowly. Can be thinned and layered to create a luminous effect of color shining from below surface.
|
|
principles of design (how the elements are manipulated and put to use)
|
1. balance (symmetrical/asymmetrical)
2. emphasis (focal point)
3. rhythm (gaze moves in sequential order)
4. contrast (draws viewer attention to specific areas of emphasis)
5. unity (make immediate connections of message and brand)
|
|
Emphasis & Focal Point
|
draws the viewer's attention to one or more areas of the composition
|
|
