- Опубліковано 12 лют 2021
- This video shows common problems artists encounter with 2D compositions, explaining how certain types of compositions can come across as tiresome and/or cliche. Examples of artworks with compositions that are "bad" are shown, which stimulates a discussion on why a specific 2D composition is successful or not. Discussion led by Art Prof Clara Lieu and Teaching Artist Lauryn Welch.

The 2nd Mary Heilmann one - before Lauryn mentioned it as a road I was reading it as a needle stitching the two black squares together.
Re the Nafia Waheed - The third or " ring finger "or wedding finger is painted red on a henna painted hand - In India the Henna Hands often have to do with weddings
I am learning so much thank you Prof Lieu and Lauren
Yay! We're happy to hear it, Christin! -Lauryn, Art Prof Teaching Artist
Do you have a video over comparing MFA vs BFA vs BA (art major)? If not will there possibly be a video over it in the future? Just curious!
Thank you so much for watching! We don't have a specific video on the difference between the three, but we do have a lot of MFA videos that might help you out :) (like this one: ua-cam.com/video/ggIbEF3wwsQ/v-deo.html) That's a great video topic though, we'll keep it in mind for future content! - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff
Provisional painting by Heilmann looks like something I would see in a hospital lobby and the road one makes me think of the movie Lost Highway
Haha, I can see that!! - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff
The David Hammond pieces remond me of the Shroud of Tourrin
Totally agree with Prof , Lieu😊
I love the Road peace.. so minimal and as you said so much open to interpretation..
I liked both Wolf Kahns ..I just love the color in the first one too... thats a rich purple in the second one.. like it..
Wolf Kahn paintings are such a treat to look at with all of their color! -Lauryn, Art Prof Teaching Artist
Also , liked the first Nadia Waheed portrait.. but not the blue thing on her forehead.. is the red nail, henna or nail polish ?.. her hand has henna/ mehandi ... the second one is interesting .. love the colors and the negative.ing of the hand and parts of the body..so many contrasts , as you keep looking at it..
I'm sorry, but Mary Heilman is absolutely genius. It's not about making painting beautiful. It's about embracing awkwardness and uncomfortable emotional painting. I love that painting. I love "bad painting" by Heilmann, Elizabeth Murray and others. I think her work represents the uncomfortable, dissonant nature of contemporary life. I have to say that people who can't get behind "bad art" and who only expect beauty are missing the essential nature of contemporary art and are lacking in imagination. I actually think the first painting by Heilmann is better because of it's intensity.
I don't really get the painting of Mary Heilmann with the crazy colors, but I do like the desaturated brown-gray vertical strip that go through the melty paints. I feel that without it I'd hate this piece likea a million times more. It sorts of gives me a break and a moment to breath from the nonsensical loud hellscape that surrounds it. 😂
I was in a show with Nadia at Mindy Solomon Gallery in Miami
Very cool - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff
I was waiting for someone to comment on that weird placement of the hand of the baby on the right. At least I assume that's his hand, since it makes no sense for it to belong to any of the other figures and not much sense that it belongs to him.
If nothing else, it gives us something to talk about! Haha - Mia, Art Prof Staff
@@artprof Hey, I'm down for any art discussion, so it works for me!
To me it is a more mental composition, each one keeping their
head above water, to prevent drowning!
Oooh, yes, I can totally see that too! -Lauryn, Art Prof Teaching Artist
i actually really love Pontormo's Deposition from the Cross!
Even "bad" compositions can be beautiful! - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff
I know nothing about art. But this yellow with the red, green, pink and yellow think ... it hurts my feelings. In a bad way. My entire insides are in conflict with each other. I have anxiety. it deserves a trigger warning .. I am half joking. I cant handle it ... at all. I have empathy for each of these colors in the pallette ... if color abuse was a thing this would be it
It's nuts how powerful different color combinations can be when utilized like this! - Mia, Art Prof Staff
Thank toi❤
You're welcome! - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff
I am SO intimidated by composition! I.Don’t Get. It. I want to, though. My artwork is sort of stalled out at a high school level because of this. I tend to do “studies” of one thing and avoid backgrounds. I saw the portrait background tutorial, and I’m still like, what’s good? I dunno. I have photographs from a solo show I did a few years ago, and I am now looking at them thinking, are these composed well? Heck if I know! So, please do more on this.Like Fibonacci’s measurements-that helps with composition, right? I hope I figure this out this year!
You totally got this!! Composition can be really hard, but we can help break it down for you if you'd like. Here's a video about good 2d compositions: ua-cam.com/video/vHe6YWMwBGM/v-deo.html - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff
I looked at this 1958 Zang Xiaogar, immediately I thought of past and present the colour in the children represents natural beings, more authentic , more true to themselves than they became as adults, who faded into the landscape, channeled into what society wanted them to be.
I love this interpretation so much, that's brilliant! - Mia, Art Prof Staff
I disagree, it is a pinball machine- the eye bounces back and forth. He keeps you trapped. Oh, the second image is awful for composition-boring and not a good technique to teach beginners. Not a good way-the first was way better.
That's a good point! I feel like even "bad" compositions can draw you in sometimes - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff
The three heads look like little burger sliders
Hahaha I totally see it - Mia, Art Prof Staff
