Using Adjectives 2. Tell a Story (create a story based on the artwork, use your imagination!) 3. Simple Outline 4. Compare and Contrast 5. Design Analysis 6. Poetry Using Adjectives The adjective style is the hardest to use effectively because each sentence is LOADED with poetic feeling throughout the
- 6. ENTIRE (short) essay. In other words, the placement of each and every word counts, just like poetry. To start your essay, view the web site and jot down 6-10 adjectives that express your feelings about the interactive art then use some or all of them in a tightly constructed, descriptive essay. I want to be able to see, hear, feel, smell, even "taste" the aesthetic experience with the art. Do · Be poetic. Every word, each placement counts. · Exaggerate your use of adjectives. · Every sentence should be alive with adjectives. · Punch the first sentence with the power of expressive adjectives and maintain that emphasis in every sentence that follows (not easy to create that sort of consistency, you have to think a lot). Don't · Don't string together a list of adjectives with commas; instead empower each sentence with multiple adjectives. · Don't wait until midway into your first paragraph to start using descriptive adjectives. · Don't just go back and find the adjectives you happened to use in your essay and list those at the top in your labeling. Tell a Story Identify a theme or any emphasis you see in the online artwork and let it act as a stimulus for an interesting story. Have the list below with you when you look at the online art and use it to "round out" your main character. Then, start your story. * Main Character's Sex: Male or Female * Main Character's Job or Profession: This element might be inspired by the online field trip's theme or subject matter. * An Archetype: This is a "type" of person, a typical psyche of an individual which a general person might identify. For
- 7. instance, a story could be built around a beautiful princess like Cinderella, or an evil leader like Osama Bin Laden. Even, Lassie, the helpful dog has a personality. Decide on the psyche of your main character and this might be inspired by the theme or subject of the online art, too. * A Key Object or Symbol: Is there an everyday object around which your story might develop? A house, a car, a lake, a key, a cat, a ring, a book? Use one of them as a prop for your main character. * Setting: A time and/or place in which the story occurs. Is it an era, or is it an hour in which the action takes place? Simple Outline An outline uses Roman Numerals. Make sure your outline uses Roman Numerals, to outline the following information. Make sure you provide two, yes, two, content descriptions because your second idea for content is probably going to be the more insightful one. I pay particular attention to Roman Numeral III dealing with the artist's content: I. Artist (or group) a. age estimation, gender, education if known b. country and/or city or origin II. Structure of the artwork (what is the primary medium for the artist's composition) a. materials, size b. subject, color, elements of design and composition III. Content (What is the artist trying to say?) a. your first idea b. your second idea
- 8. Compare and Contrast Compare the work or artist's style that you are viewing with other works you have seen, perhaps by the same artist, but not necessarily. Below is a list of factors to be considered. You don't have to compare everything on the list, just choose a couple of items to compare and contrast. 1. subjects 2. time periods 3. media 4. cultures 5. style qualities 6. space or other design elements 7. how the works are used, where they are seen 8. emotional qualities Design Analysis Describe the artist's emphasis of line, shape, space, color, value, texture or time. What is the artist trying to say by creating emphasis in this way? Be sure to include in your discussion, when appropriate, the use of the principles of art such as unity, balance, emphasis, dominance, focal point, proportion, scale or rhythm and why the artist used them.
