How Can you Figure Out Art?COPY THIS CHART
Describe Analyze Interpret Judge
“What do you see?”
Description = pure listing of the object or objects you see.
"How did the artist do it?”
Analysis = discussion of the elements of art and principles of design
"Why did the artist create it and what does it mean?”
Interpretation = discovering the main idea for this type of art.
“Is it a good artwork?”
Judgment = giving it rank in relation to other works and consider its originality.

Analysis = How Did The Artist Do It?
Using the Elements of Art!They are the building blocks of an
artistic creation, a "visual language" or "visual alphabet" used by the
artist.
Analysis = using the elements of art to organize the work• Line – a continuous mark made on a surface
• Shape – two-dimensional (circle, square, rectangle, triangle) and encloses space
• Form – three-dimensional and encloses and takes up space
• Color – that which is perceived when light hits and reflects off an object. Three properties of color are Hue (name of a color), Intensity (strength of a color) and Value (lightness or darkness of a color)
• Texture – the surface quality or feel of an object
• Space – the illusion of space is created through light and shadow

Design! -the ways in which the color, line, shape, form, texture and space are organized.
Analysis = Using the principles of design
Analysis = Using the Elements of ArtPRINCIPLE OF DESIGN EXAMPLE DEFINITION
Rhythm and movement visual flow through a work of art, using repetition
Balance symmetry and asymmetry
Proportion large next to small
Variety the use of different or contrasting elements to add interest
Emphasis used to make something stand out, like dark next to light
Unity how all the aspects of a work of art work together
Interpretation of Art = main ideaWhat Is the Artist Trying to Communicate? Can I express what I think the artwork is about in one sentence?
Judgement= Is It a Successful Artwork?
Judging a piece of work means giving it rank in relation to other works and considering its originality. What do I think makes it a good artwork?
Directions for Marbling Technique
• Marbling Applications and Techniques
• EQUIPMENT NEEDED• Containers and stirrers for paint. • Combs with long prongs. Purchase or
make by pushing T pins into a 1 " wide strip of corrugated cardboard and taping over their tops. The teeth should be evenly spaced and long enough to pierce the surface of the paint floating on the surface
• Eye Droppers : One for each color used. • Pans: Cake pans, aluminum roasting pans
or photographic trays that are 1-2" deep. • Newspaper Strips cut 2" wide for skimming
excess paint from the size after marbling. • Wastebaskets next to the marbling area. • Paper Towels for clean up.• cardstock
• Liquitex Medium Viscosity Concentrated Artist Colors: They are recommended for marbling, as they are fluid and easily mix with water. Needs to be thin. All colors can be intermixed. The following colors have been found to work consistently: Burnt Sienna, Brilliant Yellow, Permanent Alizarine Crimson Hue, Phthalo Green, Ultramarine Blue, Titanium White, Dioxazine Purple, Prism Violet, Phthalo Blue, Cerulean Blue Hue, Turquoise Green, Bright Aqua Green, Permanent Green Deep, Chromium Oxide Green, Bright Yellow Green, Yellow Medium, Azo, Yellow Orange, Azo, Yellow Light Hansa, Yellow Oxide; Deep Magenta and Red Oxide. Liquitex Marble Ease: A medium that enables all Medium Viscosity Colors to spread rather than pool on the size surface.
• Size: A suspension mixture, which the paint floats on. Traditionally tragacanth or carrageenan, are added to water to thicken it. Blue Liquid starch or powdered laundry starch can also be used. Not all brands of liquid starch work.
Art Criticism: Describe what you see. (I see a bird’s head and beak.)
Directions for Bubbling Technique
• Instructions– Measure and pour 2 cups of
Dawn Dishwashing Detergent and 1 cup of tempera into a bowl.
– Mix the bubble solution and paint together with a spoon until they are thoroughly blended. Test the color of the solution by blowing a bubble on a piece of paper. Add more paint to deepen the color or more bubble solution to lighten it.
– Pour the bubble solution into a rectangular pan and blow bubbles in the solution with a straw. Lay a piece of paper over the bubbles to make your print.
•
Art Criticism: Description –What Do You See?
Use one table for the bubble blowing with one group of 4-5students
• THE OTHER TABLES SHOULD BE BUSY LOOKING FOR FOUND OBJECTS!
“I see a burro’s head.” “I found a crab.”
Bubbling Technique : What Do You See?
“I see a stuffed bunny.” “I see a girl riding a duck.”
Directions for Straw Painting
Now what do you see?• Instructions
– Drip a little watercolor paint, any color, on the paper. Use a teaspoon if it's easier. A bright primary color such as red, yellow or blue works well.
– Drip your second color on another spot on the paper. Then dab your third on yet another spot. Take the straw and show your student how to blow a color so the paint spreads out, usually forming one or more thin lines across the paper. Do the same with the other colors.
MaterialsCardstock, straw (one per child), watercolor, brush to drip colors

We searched and traced …didn’t have to worry about
drawing…Then we cut out what we found…then we described, we analyzed, interpreted and judged…
our collages!
