WRITING ABOUT THE WORK

CRITERIA- Written component contains elements of both reflective writing on your process and writing informed by research and scholarship. RESOURCES: VARIOUS APPROACHES, PROMPTS/GUIDELINES FOR WRITING ABOUT THE WORK – Read back through, include, elaborate on WHAT WENT WELL free-writes…(My free writing is in Drop Files.)- WHAT’S ‘INSIDE OF THE FRAME’ – that which is visible to the viewer’s eye…Identify the literal and formal subject(s) in your work; (deduce) the conceptual subject(s): conceptual relationships (‘wa’) between images, ideas, processes. (My Definition of Wa is in Drop Files.)The pre-writing exercises below, used for introductory courses in viewing and critiquing works of art, may be helpful when writing about your work. Use them to help:1) describe, 2) formally analyze, and 3) interpret your work. Assess how compellingly each piece conveys your intentions. Articulate your own interpretation(s) of your work based on what you perceive to be actually embodied in the work (in other words, read the work, be open to how it communicates to you via visual language).- WHAT’S ‘OUTSIDE OF THE FRAME’……that which is not visible to the viewer’s eye but may help contextualize the work, for example:personal motivations(Siamese Betta Fish), events(Fish Show), how the work was conceived, intentions, influences, sources, other works of art, artists, biographical information, references, process, etc., etc. (Please see DropFiles for Full Criteria)
