When I'm on art social media/online sites, I always post encouraging, positive remarks and share some of my experience with newbie time and practice / exercise. habit development.
However, I need to start receiving critique and to do so I have to pivot to specific remarks where formatted for that. Thinking about it gives me the willies -- I would not want to hurt or discourage anyone -- however, student art -- including mine-- is just that: Student art presented for learning purposes.
All that said, I'd like to stick with my reactions to the artist's handling of the 7 basic elements of art, how I was impacted/effected and my thoughts, if any, about what the artist might do more, less, or include/eliminate. My justification for comfort with this approach has to do with how this non-musician listens to music -- lyrics, vocalization and arrangements. I am an active listener. I get into the words, the sound, the rhythm -- the vibe. When the piece is off in production values where the background is drowning out the vocals and lyrics, or the arrangement was haphazardly put together and is missing content I'm adding as I listen -- that's a red flag or a cautionary sign. Much the same would be my approach at Discord if I can ever get my devices to allow my joining art prof channel there. lol.
My question: This seems to be how all of you interact together to critique/encourage each other to greater mastery of your skills and development. Correct?
We actually have a video on how to approach critique here if you're interested! artprof.org/learn/fundamentals/critiques-how-to/how-to-critique-art/ The purpose of the discord is to be constructive and supportive-- I'd say it's a very positive environment for learning :) - Mia, Art Prof Staff
I'm currently watching the 2nd stream for self-taught artists and the 3rd has already come out. Whew! You, guys, are on fire! I love it!
Haha, thanks for keeping up with us!! - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff
I think color is as strong as Music to create an atmosphere and a feeling quality - but I always wondered the concept “Real life” because this is the very mystery of human experience, states of consciousness, cultures, habits, and much more
AHHH colors as people with different personalities and dynamics - this makes SO much sense I love it
I know right! It's so fun that way :) - Mia, Art Prof Staff
Thank you! ❤
For years I had been searching the internet for just a glimpse at what they taught at art schools so I could be pointed in the right direction to teach myself. I found that there is barely any information out there without a price tag attached.
Yeah, there are individuals out there that teach you their own techniques but that is different. What I was looking for was the curriculum.
I want to Thank You for sharing your knowledge of what was taught to you and sharing it with the world. In a time where it's all about the Benjamin's$$ and how to make more of it, it is a joy to know there are humans out there that still believe in finding their purpose and giving it away. And isnt that what life is all about? You guys are Awesome! Do you have a Patreon page or somewhere where I can donate?
They do have a Patreon. Check and see if its in the video description.
I'm so glad we can help! So many courses are so costly, for many people it's just not an option, so it's wonderful to hear that we can fill that gap. We do have a Patreon; and you can also make a one time donation. Right now we are doing a winter raffle, so you can get goodies too! artprof.org/2021-winter-raffle/ -Prof Lieu
@@artprof Just became a Super Stan! Thanks you guys!
The best art channel on youtube
We're so glad you think so :) - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff
I really like the following definitions - “the aesthetic qualities” and “understanding the range of possibilities” and the different possibilities of choice of different materiels, techniques, styles - but there is something more to make a piece of art - maybe that it can open you to feelings/ experiences / ways of expressing, communicating
I was lucky to be with a pottery group right across the street for three years. It’s a studio at my neighbor’s backyard and some of the members are also artists. It’s really a blessing to be in a group of many years of practice. You kind of have to be creative playing with clay and I learned to do my first linocut etc...
I enjoyed videos from this channel years ago .. am glad to come back around to it and learn how cool the community and vast the free resources. Thanks!
Welcome back!! We're happy to be here :) - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff
I appreciate you guys for doing this, I just decided to take painting seriously so this is perfect timing for me to improve
We're so happy you're enjoying this series!! More to come soon :) - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff
I've been making sketchbooks for years. I made one for my sister and for another artist friend. They both haven't used them because they think they are too beautiful and want to put something really special in it. I tried showing them mine - seriously the most horrible assemblage of scribbles and notes and bad drawings. Still can't convince them that the books are not too precious to use.
Regarding critique; what many people forget is that you don't have to like the style of work to give an objective critique. It's about what works, what doesn't and whether the artist is actually conveying their concept in the most convincing way.
Absolutely.
So true-- sketchbooks are made to be used, no matter how beautiful they are! You're also right in saying how critiques shouldn't be hung up on style. At the end of the day, you might just have a personal opinion and not constructive criticism. All opinions about art are subjective! Thanks for watching :) - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff
thank you so much for this series of videos, art prof! I always thought that because I didn't go to art school that I would never be a good enough artist. your google doc is so useful and helpful.
You're so welcome!! You can DEFINITELY be a great artist, and we're happy to help you out :) Thanks for watching! - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff
I discovered you channel a few days ago and can only say thank you, thank you, thank you!!!! Your wonderful positivity and sharing of such useful, insightful and brilliant stuff to encourage us all is wonderful. I am now an old lady of 62 returning to art this year, that's all types of art, after missing art school in the 70's and spending my life in engineering and now finding such excitement in all of it!! I am so grateful to all of you that broadcast on YT to help us all. I really wish I had 5$ to give each and everyone of you because I really would. Thank you again. Sally
Thank you so much Sally!! We appreciate your kind words so much-- your support is what keeps us going. Thank you for hanging out with us and being part of the Art Prof family :) - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff
Thank you, Art Prof. I have downloaded the curriculum and am determined to watch and every single recommended course. This is very very helpful.
Oh that's so great to hear!! Happy viewing, you've got this :) - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff
I absolutely loved the connection you made with color as people. Made so much sense.
We're glad you liked it, somehow it makes sense! - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff
I thought Lauryn was going to mention Pablo Picasso's blue period as an example of being fine preferring a single color over many others, but she said instead to break color habits.
It's all contextual, Picasso was intentionally going through a blue phase, but if you find yourself automatically gravitating to the same palettes it's good to stop and examine why that is. -Lauryn, Art Prof Teaching Artist
I just finished watching the three videos for Basic Curriculum and I just wanted to say how much I appreciate that you all took the time to put this together. I’m going to make a start and see how I progress.
I like to doodle & do hand lettering and I kept feeling like I would not be able to improve because I lacked so many fundamental skills. Don’t want to go on too long 😅 but I’m just glad this resource is available. Now, time to start with an ugly sketchbook. 🥳
Awesome!! Btw we have consolidated all of the curriculum here on our main site: artprof.org/learn/curriculums/basics-overview-curriculum-for-self-taught-artists/ -Prof Lieu
@@artprof Thank you. Do you suggest focusing on Basics Part 1 and then doing Parts 2 & 3, or is it advised to pull from each section as we learn and find need to?
It's 100% your call, the order of topics of the videos isn't based on their importance. They're all important! So whatever works best for you. If you want something more structured and specific, I recommend doing one of our Tracks. Our Tracks are a sequence of video lesson and assignments you can follow, and we have a channel in the Discord for people doing the tracks too! artprof.org/learn/tracks/drawing-basics-track/ -Prof Lieu
@@artprof awesome thank you so much for replying so quickly!
If I do(and I think I would as soon as I get out of my head),I would go with my New York sister Lauren for a produced artwork critique and Instagram because I love her free spirit and go with Clara for the strict “tough love” strategy for my portfolio,resume and website,because i absolutely suck at structure because of my ADHD!
Haha yes I am good at kicking butts. 😂-Prof Lieu
Thank you so much ❤️
You’re welcome 😊 Thanks for watching! - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff
I Love it
Yay! - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff
If you work as a three dimensional artist and work with found object do you then call it an “alteret found object”?
That ArtProf share is brilliant. 😂 I had to be “blond” instead of “yellow” Chihuahua Spirit in my Discord name. Because the idea of a yellow dog does not have good connotations.
Oh Its youuu😂😂 Yea the discord is just crazy at this point😂😂
Thank you so so so much
You're welcome! - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff
also I wondered why people were changing their discord names! glad I have the backstory now hehe
The bakstory is just a mess😂😂 Still fun!
Just imagine that you could use all possible colors in your clothings - when I was 15-18 I made my own clothes and experimented in a period to wear very different colors from mute to strong e.g. Soft gray, Black, soft violet, light green, olive green, cadmium red, Brown, orange, white, pink, and more
All of your comments are so true! Color can make or break a piece of art, and it really helps to set the mood. That's amazing how you made your own clothes, too! It really shows how color and mood can be carried out all sorts of ways, even fashion :) - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff
