| Have you got any final advice to offer?
For anyone just starting out in an art career, or looking to expand their skills as an artist, I would tell them this. Be original. You are the only you there is in this world. Go ahead and be influenced by the work of others, but ultimately, let your own light shine and create art that is unique to you. Unit 5, Lesson 5, Ex.2a photograph, photographer, photography, photographic Unit 5, Lesson 5, Ex.3b A good photograph is the one that communicates a fact, touches the heart, leaves the viewer a changed person for having seen it. It is, in a word, effective. Unit 5, Lesson 6, Ex.2a Want to learn how to understand abstract art? Let's start with this quote from Jackson Pollock, one of America's most famous abstract painters: "Abstract painting is abstract. It confronts you. There was a reviewer a while back who wrote that my pictures didn't have any beginning or any end. He didn't mean it as a compliment, but it was." Pollock's critic didn't know where to begin in terms of how to understand abstract art. There is nothing to hold onto, so you have to open up your intuition and see where the painting takes you. Abstract art allows the viewer to decide what the artwork is about, on a very personal level. Understanding abstract art is easy: all it requires is an open mind and a big imagination. When you look at an abstract painting, what do you see? Flying shapes, colorful patterns... The path of a river cutting through grasslands... or maybe you see cosmic energy? There is no right or wrong answer to this question. Abstract art is open to interpretation, and that is one of the beautiful things about it. An abstract painting doesn't jump out and declare "THIS is what I'm all about." Instead, you must enter the painting and see where it takes you. Understanding abstract art does not come naturally for everyone. It is the kind of art that makes some people scratch their heads and say, "My 5-year old could do that." What people don't realize is that the best abstract artists have excellent drawing skills, a fine sense of composition, and a deep understanding of the workings of color. Most abstract artists have the ability to draw a perfectly portrayed rose or a realistic portrait, but they choose not to. Instead they choose to express their emotions by creating a piece that is more free, free of the weight of objects. If you want to fully understand an artwork, it's important to know the artist's intention behind it. On the one hand, a large part of the beauty of art is that we, the viewers, can bring our own meaning. On the other hand, knowing the artist's thought process for creating a certain work of art adds to the meaning and value of a painting. Well, Pablo Picasso once said: "Everyone wants to understand art. Why not try to understand the song of a bird?” Picasso has a point. Art can't be explained in words, because its influence on people is very personal. Look at abstract art in the same way that you would listen to a symphony. When you listen to music, you don't try to hold on to the notes - you let them wash over you. Let your eyes play with the painting, slipping around corners, following the lines, twists and turns. Let your eyes dance around the piece. Rather than trying to figure out what the painting looks like, just allow yourself to be taken in by the painting. See what emotions, images or memories emerge. Examine the colors, forms, materials. Take your time. Let the painting "speak" to you. жүктеу/скачать 234 Kb. Достарыңызбен бөлісу:
