Ideation & Concept : Protect Our Ocean

This drawing was drawn in an ocean during the sunset. There are few ships on it. Keep our ocean clean is the main idea of this drawing. I used light and dark colour to show the contrast. In this painting, Hierarchy is present. I do used heavy lines to separate the ships and ocean. The dark blue part is the deeper side of the ocean. It was not proportional to the real world as in the ships drawn was in a larger size than the ocean.

Self Evaluation Project 1

I'd presented my first project on art movement last week.

Unfortunately, I presented the wrong idea.

For my work, I should be presenting on either conceptual or perceptual art, yet I did it more to the side of fine art.

My lecturer, Mr. Deepak gave me a chance to redo it.

Therefore, I change my previous art movement and the artist.

This project has broaden my knowledge about conceptual and perceptual arts.

Now, I can differentiate them better than before.

Will try my best and read the requirements given by the lecturer to avoid from unwanted mistake for the coming project .

Art Work

Artist/ Bio info

Edvard Munch

Munch spent most of his last two decades in solitude at his nearly self-sufficient estate in Ekely, at Skøyen, Oslo. Many of his late paintings celebrate farm life, including many where he used his work horse "Rousseau" as a model. Without any effort, Munch had a steady stream of female models, some of which he may have had sexual relations with, and who were the subjects of numerous nude paintings. Munch occasionally left his home to paint murals on commission, including those done for the Freia chocolate factory.

To the end of his life, Munch continued to paint unsparing self-portraits, adding to his self-searching cycle of his life and his unflinching series of snapshots of his emotional and physical states. In the 1930s and 1940s, the Nazis labeled Munch's work "degenerate art" (along with Picasso, Paul Klee, Matisse,Gauguin and many other modern artists) and removed his 82 works from German museums. Adolf Hitler announced in 1937, "For all we care, those prehistoric Stone Age culture barbarians and art-stutterers can return to the caves of their ancestors and there can apply their primitive international scratching."

In 1940, the Germans invaded Norway and the Nazi party took over the government. Munch was seventy-six years old. With nearly an entire collection of his art in the second floor of his house, Munch lived in fear of a Nazi confiscation. Seventy-one of the paintings previously taken by the Nazis had found their way back to Norway through purchase by collectors (the other eleven were never recovered), including The Scream and The Sick Child, and they too were hidden from the Nazis.

Munch died in his house at Ekely near Oslo on January 23, 1944, about a month after his 80th birthday. His Nazi-orchestrated funeral left the impression with Norwegians that he was a Nazi sympathizer. The city of Oslo bought the Ekely estate from his heirs in 1946 and demolished his house in May 1960.

Art Movement

Art movement :

Expressionism

Expressionism was a modernist movement , initially in poetry and painting, originating in Germany at the beginning of the 20th century. Its typical trait is to present the world solely from a subjective perspective, distorting it radically for emotional effect in order to evoke moods or ideas. Expressionist artists sought to express meaning or emotional experience rather than physical reality.

The term "Expressionism" is usually associated with paintings, graphic work, and other forms of artistic practice in Germany at the beginning of the 20th century that challenged academic traditions, particularly the Die Bruke and Der Blaue Reiter groups.

The term is sometimes suggestive of emotional angst. In a general sense, painters such as Matthias Grunewald and El Greco are sometimes termed expressionist, though in practice the term is applied mainly to 20th-century works. The Expressionist emphasis on individual perspective has been characterized as a reaction to poticivism and other artistic styles such as naturalism and impressionism.

Expressionism' art pieces :

"View of Toledo" by El Greco, 1595/1610

Wassily Kandinsky, On White II, 1923

Rehe im Walde, 1914, by Franz Marc

Arts

Third lesson :

"Art seeks visual solutions"
-The design process

Creative Problem Solving
-Sometimes it uses visual representation and sometimes it may use a play on words.

"There are no rules in art!"
- The art are called "creative fields" because there are no predetermined correct answers.

Aesthetic
- When a piece does not have a message, the artwork is just for 'aesthetic' purposes. ( In other words, it's just meant to look nice.)
- For example, adornment like jewelry or crown molding isn't necessary but it looks good.
- Purely abstract decoration has a very legitimate role in art.
- Just don't forget that most art is supposed to be a form of visual communication. (Especially in graphic design and web design.)

Procedures include :

1. Thinking
- Getting Started - A successful solution is visually effective, and communicates an idea.
A. You need to understand the problem at hand.
B. Goal - What is to be achieved?
C. Style - Illustration, Abstract, nonobjective, etc...
D. Physical Limitations - Size, color, medium, etc...
E. Time Limit - When must it be finished?

Art as Communication
- The artist or designer is trying to say something to the viewer.
- A successful design communicates an idea.
- Even purely abstract lines, color and shapes can express an idea or a feeling.
- Symbols are a great way to communicate a theme or message.
-Often words are combined with a visual to strengthen the message.

The Creative Process:
1. Thinking
2. Looking
3. Doing
