Research Wk3 Class

-
Research - one on one's.

 This week I need to make a decision on what to focus on and to ask:

Why?

e.g.
  • Is it because I have I have a favourite artist that is inspiring me to make certain things?
  • Have I discovered a method I enjoy more than others? It could be because I enjoy the movement of mark making for this method.
  • Does a particular method or focus or series of drawings I have made affect my mood in a positive way?
(Consider Time)

I need to dedicate one day this week and the following weeks to just 'making' for this project.
(Aim for an 8hr working day:)).

Tuesday class time and evenings can be dedicated to researching and blogging.

I don't know at this stage what I'm going to make for the exhibition and even the weeks leading up to it. It is going to be a week by week process of going through stages of asking why?

I am not going to propose that my end presentation will be for example, exactly 3 paintings informed by my doodle drawings.

Also I need to consider the concept of my method or which one to focus on.

I need to be careful when researching that I don't go down too many avenues and get taken up spending too much time collecting a lot of info. There needs to be a balance! I like the heuristic model of learning of making and learning as you go with practice.

 ...Oh and take notes on what I've been thinking about after a making session.

 Maybe my final product will be an electic collection of artworks displayed as an installation about a more specific theme/concept or thought process? Then the art materials used and methods could be quite varied, maybe?

Art Critic Research

The Importance of Art Criticism to Practice-Based Research and Questioning “…there is a level at which art speaks directly to all of us and piques our intuitive critical sensibilities. We’re entitled to hold both informed and uninformed opinions, since once the art is out in the world, it belongs equally to everyone. Sometimes we have to risk being wrong, but must at least make a valiant argument. ” https://brooklynrail.org/2012/12/artseen/whats-so-important-about-criticism-macadam art criticism and the art critic: • Art criticism, the analysis and evaluation of works of art. More subtly, art criticism is often tied to theory; it is interpretive, involving the effort to understand a particular work of art from a theoretical perspective and to establish its significance in the history of art. • The critic is “minimally required to be a connoisseur,” which means he must have a “sound knowledge” of the history of art, as Philip Weissman wrote...
