ArtTalk Details
Do you find the meanings in paintings difficult to understand? This is often said about paintings with no obvious subject matter. In this two-part series, Richard explains and illustrates how artists throughout history, and from many different cultures, have used the fundamental elements such as colour, line, direction, shape, and texture to express feeling, mood, and emotion.
We exist though our senses. Jean-Jacques Rousseau said "Everything that comes into the human mind enters through the gate of sense." We all have various responses to sounds, sights, tastes, smells and tactile experiences in our daily lives. Musicians use their formal elements of notes, chords, melodies, harmonies and dissonances, to affect our feelings. Writers, particularly poets, do so likewise with the sounds and patterns of words. Artists, from the beginning of time, throughout the world have used their formal elements to touch our very souls. Attend this lecture and be transported.
Part 1: Conjuring with Colour
Part 2: Conjuring with Line and Shape, Ratio and Proportion
