Notes for Artwork Critique Form - page 2
% and WR% about art - Artwork often
has Subject Matter like a face, a dog, flowers,
trees, an airplane, etc. t is common for the
8ubject matter to get our attention. All artwork
has elements and principles. The Vi8uaI
lements are ine, CoIor, Shape, Form volume),
%exture, VaIue tone).
Iement8 often together with subject matter)
create vi8uaI effect8. When you see a visual
effect it means that some sort of organizing
!rinciple is working. By looking at artwork and
responding in writing, you are discovering
principles that were used by the artist. The Visual
Elements and Subject Matter are used separately
and together to create all kinds of relationships,
motion, transition, contrasts, conflicts, variations,
themes, feelings, meanings, depth effects, space
effects, and so on. f you can find a reIation8hip
that create8 a vi8uaI effect, you have
di8covered a principIe. For example, repetition
repeating something) tends to insist on being seen
and it can give the effect of motion.
When you discover principles, you can use them
and you will understand how to make and
understand artwork better. For example, a
combination of red and orange has a different
effect than a combination of red and green. By
looking at these color combinations next to each
other, you might discover a principle of design.
When you see a big shape combined with another
big shape it has a different effect than combining a
small shape with a big shape. By looking at size
examples, you might see another principle of
design suggested. There are many general
principles that work to produce effects, feelings,
and meanings. There is an unlimited number of
ways to use the elements, subject matter, and
design principles to produce effects, feelings, and
meanings. This is why, when we solve problems in
art, we are not looking for one correct answer, but
we are looking one or more solutions out of many
unknown possible solutions.
ote8
CO%RS% Artists can contrast color,
value, texture, line quality, shape character,
size, type oI subject matter, and other things.
Can you Iigure out what is being contrasted to
get your attention?

COC%OS and MOVM% Artists connect
things and move the viewer eye with repetition.
nterest and motion is added to artwork by
repeating things like shape, color, line type, value,
subject matter, size, and so on. f a color is
repeated in different size or shape it may more
interesting than if it is repeated in the same size or
shape. f a tree and face are both green, they are
connected by the green color. At the same time
they are different unconnected) because of subject
and shape, and maybe because of size.
Repetition can also be used to get attention. t is
insistent. Did you ever repeat a word word to be
sure to be heard heard? almost missed a stop
sign, but my passenger said, "Stop! Stop!" for
emphasis. We lived to tell about it.
There are many other ways to get movement. Does
a diagonal line indicate more or less motion than a
vertical or horizontal line? Does a curved or jagged
line suggest something about motion that is
different than a straight line? How does a
continuous line compare with a segmented line or a
thinning and thickening line?
Some artwork pulls you back into the work or holds
you away from the work. Wow! How? How do they
make the feeling of depth. s it with size or linear
perspective? s it with color brightness and
dullness? s it with color warmth and coolness? s it
with sharpness and blurryness? s it with
overlapping? s it with placement higher and lower
in the picture? s it with framing, or what? When
you feel depth, can you figure out why you feel it?
Looking for evidences of depth helps you master
the skill of creating the effects you want in your
own work. Secret: Some artists add mystery and
magic by intentionally making their artwork look
very flat.
S% Style is both general and very individual.
Just as every person has a unique handwriting,
every person's art has a unique style. Some big
general categories are Realistic photographic),
Expressive less realistic with lots feeling),
Fantastic surrealistic) real but impossible - as in a
dream), Formal very orderly and controlled),
Nonobjective without subject matter), Abstract not
realistic). Of course since every individual is
unique, these are often combined and there are
many sub categories as well.
