The role of the artist
What do artist do?
Four basic functions of an artist.
1. Artist record
- Record visual experiences that can be preserved for historical reference
2. Give tangible form to unknown
- Attempt to record what cannot be seen
3. Tangible form to feelings
- The artist own feeling expressed in their art.
4. Innovative way of seeing
Creative people tend to posses traits such as sensitivity, flexibility, originality, playfulness, productivity, fluency, analytical skill, and organizational skills.
The role of the observer
Beauty in art is an opinion and a person should be open to a wide range of experiences.
Not all artist draw realistically and some choose not to.
Representational art - Images that look very much like the real world.
Illusionistic - Means images so natural they trick us into thinking its real.
Trempe-l' oeil means fool the eye in french.
Abstact work- Refrences to the natural world but does not duplicate exactly.
Stylized - Certain features of a natural form that are exaggerated in a special way.
Nonrepresentational art - Has no refrences to natural world of images.
Expression - Artist's unique view of art and the world.
