The art criticism process is describe, analyze, interpret, and judge. Describing the piece is basically saying exactly what you see in the piece like the elements and colors. Analyzing the piece is listing the elements and design principles like color, harmony, value, rhythm, etc. Interpreting the piece is deciding what it is conveying and basically what the story is that it is trying to tell. Judging the piece is deciding what you think of it and if you think it is successful, your opinions have to be supported with evidence such as skills and creativity. When I look at this piece I see a blue sky, light brown sand, a darker brown reflection of the rocks, the darkest brown is the rocks and I see some highlights on them, I also see white waves crashing on the rocks. There is rhythm and harmony in the piece, it all kind of comes together on the rocks where the waves crash, the emphasis of the piece is definitely the waves. The story of the piece is basically just a day on the beach, it gives a calming mood to me because the beach is calming in my opinion I love the sounds of waves and looking at the picture it's like I can hear the waves from that day at the beach. I don't know how successful this piece actually is, of course it's my own so I'm going to be more judgmental, but I think that adding more detail to the sand and the rocks and adding more color to the sky would have made it look way more realistic. Is copying always plagiarism or is there a grey area? Explain your thoughts. I think there is a grey area because you can use something as inspiration and interpret it differently than the original artist and change it according to how you interpret it. In the picture below, I used inspiration from a scene from the movie Tangled but I changed it and made it mixed media so it is not exactly the same but you can see where the idea is from. Regardless of whether a project was successful or not, describe the one where you learned, grew, or developed the most from? Please explain. I think the project I learned the most from is my acrylic paint landscape picture of the ocean. It could have definitely been more successful but I learned a lot about mixing colors and making textures in paint which is not as easy as it seems. Choose a place or artwork where the subject matter reflects you as an artist. One that you have a personal connection to. Please explain. The picture that I have the most connection to is my painting of the goat with the black and white background. I think it relates a lot to me as a person because goats are my favorite animals and I've wanted one since as long as I can remember. It also relates to me because it is simple and has a minimalist look and my style that I really like in a lot of things is minimalist because you can do little and make something really simple but in the end it can look cool and simple with purpose.

For my last project I decided to create my own. I am planning to redo my room this summer so I used inspiration from that. The colors that I chose for my room theme are black, white, and gold (yes, they are the school colors, no, I did not do that on purpose). So that's why I chose the colors I did but I used the goat because I really love goats and I really want one when I get older. The first thing I did was put tape down on the areas I wanted to stay white and I painted the open spaces black. Then I made a stencil for the goat and my friend helped me hold the stencil down so I could paint it in gold.
For my piece, I used 1st perspective.
This photo was taken in Valencia, Spain. It was outside of a building but I forgot what the building was. The thing I found most difficult was making the grey arches without messing up or going outside the lines, getting the precise colors was hard as well. The watercolor warm up helped me to blend colors like how I blended the green and the blue in the sky. The perspective warm up helped me to figure out how to measure lines more accurately. |
