I was given a brief which required me to innitiate a range of ideas that were inspired by visits to four art galleries and musems, using the title ; past, present future. The brief then asked me to make 2 drawings a day, based on my ideas from galleriies, dealing with objective and subjective.
In what respect do they want me to make drawings that deal with objective and subjective and how do I incorperate this with my gallery ideas?
I suspect the desire of the assignment is for you to relate what you saw (objective) and felt (subjective) when at the galleries. I also suspect there is no specific answer to your question; in fact, the answer has to be very individual in each student. What did you see? What did you feel?
To incorporate the concepts of objective and subjective in your drawings based on your gallery ideas, here's how you can approach it:
1. Objective Drawings:
This refers to capturing the visual aspects of the artwork and physical objects you encountered in the galleries. Focus on representing the different styles, techniques, colors, forms, and compositions objectively. Pay attention to the details and try to depict them accurately in your drawings. You can also experiment with different mediums or techniques that you came across during your gallery visits.
2. Subjective Drawings:
This aspect involves expressing your personal feelings, emotions, and interpretations that arose while experiencing the artworks in the galleries. Reflect on how the artwork made you feel, the ideas it sparked, or the memories it evoked. Use your drawings as a medium to convey these subjective responses. You can experiment with abstract or symbolic representations, use expressive lines or shapes, or incorporate colors and textures that reflect your emotional response to the artwork.
To effectively combine the objective and subjective elements, you could consider the following approaches:
- Contrast: Create a visual contrast in your drawings between the objective and subjective elements. This could be done by using different styles, techniques, or color schemes to represent each aspect.
- Integration: Blend both objective and subjective elements seamlessly within a single drawing. You can create compositions that incorporate both realistic representations of the artwork and symbolic or abstract elements to convey your personal response.
- Captions or annotations: Accompany your drawings with captions or annotations that explain the objective details of the artwork and your subjective interpretations or thoughts associated with it. This can provide a deeper understanding of how you connected with the artwork.
Remember, the goal of this assignment is to not only showcase your technical skills but also to demonstrate your ability to engage with art on both a visual and personal level. Be creative, experiment, and let your own unique experiences guide your drawings.
