#1. With regard to the subtractive method in sculpture, Sporre states on pg. 71 that "whatever the artist's choice [of material], one requirement must be met: the material to be carved, whether wood, stone, or a bar of soap, must be free from flaws." What are your thoughts on this assertion? I disagree with Sporre because there should not be any requirement s to artwork. The reason is what if the artist doesn’t want to carve the material. I think the artist needs to do what they think not what Sporre thinks because he is not the one who is doing their art. When you are looking at a sculpture do you want to ask your self did they make that out of their own ideas or did they just make it because they had to do the requirements that have to be …show more content…

Does it mean mistakes, or that you have to do a certain thing to make the sculpture? I think it means that if you don’t do it that way it’s not going to look right. I am sure there are many different meanings for different people. As a said in my first paragraph that it’s not going to me a mistake if you do it how you want and you think it looks right. #2. With regard to color in sculpture, Sporre states on pg. 74 that "color is as important to the sculptor as it is to the painter." Do you agree with this statement? I agree with this statement because color is important and the color makes the picture brighter. When you color with different colors you can see the different lines of the paint that you couldn’t see before or that was hard to see without the paint. Some of the sculptures already have color in them when the artist is done making them. Like in the picture there is some white and black in the sculpture. But if the artist would but some color to the face it would show the lips, eyes, and nose a lot better. Also the color in the sculpture will make it stand out and I like to use color when I am coloring or when I am painting something because it brightens up my mood and it makes it look prettier I think. Some people just like the color black and white because they like the natural. They might also like it because it will look better on that one

    The art represented more than just sculpture. The art represented the social issue of racism by not having “black art” in a “white museum”.

I see the flexibility of simple geometry and how it can express dynamic movement through this sculpture. Overall, it is interesting how Meadmore’s life and ideas relate to his artistic design, “Always.”

    In high school, an Arts credit is required. To obtain this art credit students take art, but not all students are good at it. Many people love to draw, visual learners draw things to explain themselves. People create art to explain how they feel or see the world. If a student puts the time and hard work into their art, and they get told their art is not up to standards and the teacher fails it, that student may give up on art and not pursue something they genuinely enjoy.

    Art is a language of its own and with out he proper understanding, people are like expression goes “left on the outside looking in”. In other words, people without the proper understanding of art, technique and form as well as other elements can’t appreciate a work of art as much as when you understand why an artist painted in the way they did and what they are trying to get across to his audience. Despite artists attempts to try and make their works as viewer friendly as possible, without the understanding and knowledge gained from an art class as this one people will never fully understand the a work of art as it is meant to be.

    Though most works of art have some underlying, deeper meaning attached to them, our first impression of their significance comes through our initial visual interpretation. When we first view a painting or a statue or other piece of art, we notice first the visual details – its size, its medium, its color, and its condition, for example – before we begin to ponder its greater significance. Indeed, these visual clues are just as important as any other interpretation or meaning of a work, for they allow us to understand just what that deeper meaning is. The expression on a statue’s face tells us the emotion and message that the artist is trying to convey. Its color, too, can provide clues: darker or lighter colors can play a role in how we judge a piece of art. The type of lines used in a piece can send different messages. A sculpture, for example, may have been carved with hard, rough lines or it may have been carved with smoother, more flowing lines that portray a kind of gentleness.

    There is no requirement of beauty in art. Indeed, some of the highest quality in art is attained by some of the ugliest things. An example is the film, Schindler's List. Its representation of oppression and violence is revolting at times, but its ability to convey a clear message is strong. Perhaps the most appropriate gauge of quality in art is its effectiveness in communication.

    Each drawing. Each painting. Each sculpture. It can give you a glimpse of what is going on in the artist’s head. Take the painting “El Autobus” by Frida Kahlo as an example. It has been said that the painting is in reference of the accident Frida Kahlo had where she got impaled by a metal handrail. The painting is of a bench with people sitting on it just before boarding the bus. This kind of artwork, where the artist puts a little bit of him/her self in it is something I strive for. I want to make art that reflects me, or that means something to me. I don’t want to make something just because, I want it to be where the viewer could possibly see the hard work, the passion, the emotion behind it. Things that most times get

  • Aesthetic Emotion Essay

    1050 Words  | 3 Pages

    AA theory by Clive Bell suggests the pinpoints the exact characteristic which makes a work true art. According to Bell, an artwork must produce “aesthetic emotion” (365). This aesthetic emotion is drawn from the form and formality of an artwork rather than whether or not it is aesthetically pleasing or how well it imitates what it is trying to depict. The relation of objects to each other, the colors used, and the qualities of the lines are seemingly more important than what emotion or idea the artwork is trying to provoke. Regardless of whether or not the artwork is a true imitation of certain emotions, ideals, or images, it cannot be true art unless it conjures this aesthetic emotion related to formality (367).

    Cubism takes the opposite route for the same effect. Solid lines are drawn, but the painting itself is usually more abstract (as with Picasso). At times it can be difficult to discern what some paintings are supposed to represent. Bright, vivid colors infuse the pieces with more passion. The contrast between those not well defined objects and the punch of emotion gives cubism its personality and vitality.

    Artist way of thought is different than the average designer. Artists usually try to develop a work of art with the intention of bringing an emotion viewpoint, instinctive feeling, and or state of mind. If someone has visible talent in the art field, it usually comes down to a natural born ability. When dealing with artist you have to understand their mentality. The artist mentality comes down to the artistic skills and abilities that the artist is born with.
