Artist investigation.
Read around, take notes and think about the artist before you begin any writing. Read interviews, ask me for articles or related artists, styles, and movements that might be relevant. Ask pertinent questions related to the work.
Tasks:
1
Complete the 'Artist investigation' sheet. It's HERE. This should focus your research. Please ask me for help if you are struggling to find information or you need assistance with how to word a feeling you have.
It looks at your personal response, the artists' approach, method, intention, context, invites you to compare and contrast and gets you making by using their style or interpreting their ideas.
2
Take an artefact belonging to the artist.
- Describe the feeling that the artefact is communicating. What is its personality?
- What is the audience immediately getting?
- Which elements of the design relate to the band or music?
- Is this Pragmatic or Poetic?
Discuss the choice of:
- Iconography (what is included and why?)
- Colour scheme
- Line, shape, texture, tone, space, and form.
- Rendering approach (what is it made from and why?)
- Typographic personality
- Composition (busy, sparse, ordered etc)
- Any other observations?
