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.
