Hello, this is Brian.
I saw the list was getting kind of low so I figured I would record something.
I enjoyed Brian and Ohio's show on his Art Appreciation Group Art Club.
I'm pretty sure is what he called it.
And I had a couple of thoughts on Art Appreciation that everybody could benefit from, I believe.
I have a few views on Art Appreciation that don't really necessarily fit into a lot of the gallery.
World of Art, but I had a mentor, Dr. Bendle, Dong Bendle.
And I guess I should preface this.
He had our writing assignment because all university level art classes, all university level classes
are required to have some form of writing assignment.
So all art classes generally do a minimum of at least a gallery review
where the student is supposed to view a piece of artwork that can be documented.
It doesn't necessarily have to be in a gallery.
My 3D design class, we were specifically not allowed to go to galleries.
We had defined pieces of art that nobody else most likely had seen things out
in the neighborhood, maybe something in someone's front yard.
And you critique the piece of art.
You speak about what that piece of art says to you,
based in a very methodical elements of design fashion.
So you speak about how the artist employed some element like movement or counterbalance
and that added to the effect of the piece of art in whatever manner.
But what Don Bendle, Dr. Bendle, told us, and it was quite different than other art classes.
And I understand his philosophy of where he's coming from and I fit into it pretty well.
He said, when you go to a gallery and you see artwork in a gallery setting without fail,
there is an artist's statement, unless of course it's a museum type show, but if you go
to a gallery where an artist is having a show, there will be an artist's statement.
And they always put it very predominantly so that you see it before you see any of the art.
And his advice and instruction was never under any circumstances.
Do you read that artist's statement before you look at the art?
And he wanted our gallery reviews of the pieces of art that we found, preferably to be
written also before we've read that artist's statement.
And you got extra points for writing if he saw you at a gallery writing it down on a napkin
because he didn't want to get anything back home where you could think about it and process
everything that was for later.
He wanted to know what's your instant in the moment of experiencing that art before
any research was done.
Because that's where it's actual live impact is with us.
Now that may sound like I lean a little away from the historic importance of understanding
of where we get all this stuff and I absolutely do not.
But in just the simple personal effect of art, I'm a potter.
So I think about when I make a cup, I have to think about the person using the cup and
their interaction with my piece of art.
And they're going to put this cup right up to their mouth, extremely intimate piece of
artwork.
And the functionality of the cup, how it feels in the hand, the tactile qualities, the
function of the lip, it is it a pouring vessel, a drinking vessel.
That all has a lot to do with how the person is going to be impacted by this piece of artwork
when they, whether they're aware of it or not, how a lot of people will paint their walls
or do designed borders.
And that's the idea is to have that personal impact of the art without trying to interpret
it.
So that's just one little thought.
And by God, I hope you guys who are not uploading shows, get uploading shows, not to get
on anybody because of course I waited forever to do it.
And my shows aren't of the best quality anyway, but they're there and we need this resource.
So I'll play Ken's role right now and do the call out.
Have a good day.
