Analyze the painting "Girls in the Sun" by V.E. Makovsky on the following questions: Use of media / materials
• What materials and mediums has the artwork been constructed from? Have
materials been concealed or presented deceptively (i.e. is there
an authenticity / honesty of materials; are materials celebrated; is the structure
visible or exposed)? Why were these mediums selected (weight; color; texture;
size; strength; flexibility; pliability; fragility; ease of use; cost; cultural
significance; durability; availability; accessibility)? Would other mediums have
been appropriate?
Which skills, techniques, methods and processes were used (i.e. traditional;
conventional; industrial; contemporary; innovative)? It is important to note that
the examiners do not want the regurgitation of long, technical processes, but
rather to see personal observations about how processes effect and influence the
artwork in question. Would replicating part of the artwork help you gain a better
understanding of the processes used?
• Has the artwork been built in layers or stages? For example:
• Painting: gesso ground > textured mediums > underdrawing > blocking in
colors > defining form > final details;
• Architecture: brief > concepts > development > working drawings >
foundations > structure > cladding > finishes;
• Graphic design: brief > concepts > development > Photoshop > proofing >
printing.
• How does the use of media help the artist to communicate ideas?
• Are these methods useful for your own project?
