Princeton University Personal Inspiration from Paintings & Photographs Discussion

Description

A short statement to record what it is about the image that has captured your attention must be added to the blog entry. You should be able to relate the images to the class topics. The reasoning for the project is to open your eyes to visual images and to develop understanding of the terms we are learning as they apply to real life.You can use any source for your images: online, scanned images of your own, or photos you take yourself. The images you post should relate in some way to the unit’s vocabulary and terms. Write a few words about the image in relation to the unit vocabulary (ex: line, shape, contour drawing, figurative sculpture.) There is a Unit based list of topics below.

Unit SixThe classification of medium is introduced in this weeks reading. Painting, drawing, printmaking are all mediums used by artists to record their messages. Artists can use two dimensional or three dimensional mediums. And the ephemeral work of installation and performance have entered our crowded world. Art does not need to be permanent, it can be expressed, its reality captured in written accounts and photographic images. In those documentations the art work continues to “exist”.Unit SevenThis week’s unit holds the final group of visual art terms. Most of those terms define different types and mediums used in art making, graphic arts, graphic design, photography video, film and sculpture are all types of art making. They are areas where the technical demands and equipment are more specific. Edge qualities, chiaroscuro and perspective are visual art terms in unit seven.Unit EightSculpture as a free standing object, bas-relief on a wall, an installation of chosen objects, earthworks and performance are all potential subjects.Unit NineLandscape as a subject matter, as environment for human activity and as a vehicle to describe space is an important element for artists to include in their work. The lecture shows many examples of the use of landscape. You can add that sense of environment and space to your blog images. Tie them to the space and perspective systems with a few words that describe the images.
