Artist Explorations Visual Journal Assignment

 

Directions: 

 

Pick an artist that you are interested in (after you spend some time researching).  In the example pictures you can see the artist’s original picture (well labeled) with a section re-created beside it. 

 

 You can make a pages with written work about the artist.  However an overabundance of biographical information isn’t terribly important.  It’s good to know the years the artist worked, country of origin and culture of the artist as well as artists’ that the artist would be influenced by.  But more importantly is your analysis of the artwork.  So, instead of making pages showing all of the artist’s work just choose one or two works and analyze using Feldman’s analysis and then re-create the work (or parts of the work).  Use Feldman's analysis.  You can start by observing the choices the artist made (what materials were used, how the artist blended and/or what choices were  needed to create certain effects.  Also think about how difficult it is for you to recreate and/or how you think the artist did it and how you chose to do is instead).
