14. How and why we write about Art
We write about artists’ work because it helps us to understand why art is made and what effect it has on the viewer. If we understand this it helps us to create our own ideas. The work of others can also spark our imagination and begin us on a creative journey of our own.
You should begin your research pages by introducing the artist with a brief biography
You should then analyse their work using the questions opposite and the example below. You could pick a specific piece or discuss their work as a whole.
You should look at a variety of artists and compare their work.
Always look at the date of the work and consider what world events were happening at the time. Could these influence your understanding of the work?
Make sure the images you use actually belong to the artist! Read the information on the web page. Make sure its not some random person’s copy!
Any information that you directly copy must be in quotation marks and the source acknowledged.
When developing your own ideas refer back to your writing and think about how it might connect to or influence your practical work.

15. Questions to help you analyse the
work
of your chosen artists.
Media- What media has the artist used? (research this on line) what effect does this give? – messy smudgy dark / rich, bright, strong and vibrant / clean, crisp, fresh/ textural, tactile/ contemporary..
Does the artist use different media for different areas of the work? Why do you think that is?
Mood/atmosphere – What mood does the work convey – moody, foreboding, sad, angry, aggressive, confrontational, warm, uplifting, exciting, relaxing. How is this mood created ?
Use of line – are the lines clean and crisp and ordered? Are they irregular, scratchy, chaotic? Is there a repeated pattern? Has the artist spent time achieving symmetry or accuracy? Have they been very spontaneous and free ? Is the paint applied with broken brush strokes or smooth solid strokes?
Colour – What colours does your artist use? Why do you think they chose these colours? Are they dark, cold, warm, eerie, cheerful..? What emotions or thoughts do these colours generate?
Composition – Where is the subject placed within the image? Why do you think it is in that position? What is in the Foreground, Middle ground and Background? Why do you think the artist has chosen that background? What grabs your attention first? Is the image very busy or sparse? Is it very similar to a photograph? If not, in what way does it differ? (abstract, use of pattern, simplified form, images collaged over each other, changes in scale...)
