Response–your response to the painting including what your generalimpression is.a. Do you have any association with this setting?b. Your general feeling from the scene?c. What is the artist communicating?d. Do any questions arise?e. This is your interpretation.2. Description–Describe the painting as if you were talking to a blind person.a. Describe the overall scene, fashion, action, and what you think isthe various roles of the characters given their expressions and gestures. What are the setting, the atmosphere, and light source and its location in relation to the figures? Describe where you are as the viewer in relation to the scene (eye level in front, behind, below, or above… your vantage point?). Consider what is at the center of the painting and the outer edges and whether the artist portrays a foreground, middle ground, and background and how the color/value usage might vary to distinguish those. Is the artist using deep space (we can see the horizon) or shallow space? Notice how the figuresare organized in relation to each other to further clarify the narrative of the scene.3. Analysis–You may research Pointillism ahead of writing but use you rown words here and keep focused on your observations.a. Describe the layout of the design: for example, they talk about the form’s shapes while naming their subject matter (natural things are organic or manmade things are geometric). Include whether they are simple or complex shapes (is the artist simplifying the forms?). Note the balance being used (the forms in relation to the center axis, either symmetrical or asymmetrical). Is there a discernable pattern of repeated forms and intervals? If so describe them. (We will be covering rhythm and repetition in Assignment 7.)b. Describe the color in detail.i. Are colors overall in a low-key value range or high-key valuerange? Is it high or low contrast?ii. Note if the colors are prismatic (pure and fully saturated),muted (slightly tinted or shaded) or chromatic grays (very desaturated [or neutralized] but still having discernible color). Achromatic gray is VERY tinted or otherwise neutralized.iii. Notice any color schemes you learned from Assignment 5 and where observe them.iv. Is the scene primarily warm or cool?c. Use the Zoom tool (as close in as you can) to observe optical mixing:i. Describe the brush strokes (long or short, dots or dashes, evenly distributed?).ii. Observe color combinations within the strokes. What hues do you see? Are they warm or cool? Are they analogous or complementary? Describe what you see.iii. Think about the impression of the small reproduction vs. the close observation. This is Optical mixing. Describe the effect.4. Summary–Write what you believe to be the artist’s intentions and expression given your close observations.
