Video 2 and response on Visual Literacy
These videos and responses are intended as an exercise in art criticism and an opportunity to sharpen critical thinking skills. In developing your personal theory of art, you can benefit from viewing and thinking about other artist’s work in the context of your own life experience and informed judgments.
The assignment requires that you watch the links listed below on Visual Literacy and answer questions on each video. You do not need to describe the interview or images, although referencing the work and/or its compositional elements may be important in conveying your thoughts on the piece. Your critical opinion (reaction) is very important, but equally so is the stated reasons behind your opinion. However, your goal is to convey, an authentic reaction, together with analysis and reasoning is the goal.
ANSWER THE QUESTIONS BELOW, AFTER VIEWING THE FOLLOWING LINKS:
1. Visual LiteracyLinks to an external site. (Toledo Museum) (15.29mins)
2. The Importance of Visual Literacy / Martin ScorseseLinks to an external site. (10:43mins)
3. Teaching Visual Literacy and Communications / George LucasLinks to an external site. (4.24mins)
– In the first video on Visual Literacy (Toledo Museum) the author stresses that “Visual Literacy is the ability to evaluate, apply, or create conceptual visual representations. When looking at visuals, students should be able to see, understand, and create graphically (a visual image). In order to do all this, the student must carefully observe”.
Why is it essential to be able to read visually?
What may be an indispensable aspect which can affect our ability to be visually literate?
How might being visual literate be crucial in today’s global context?
What are the three communication revolutions in human history? How significant was each revolution?
What are the five aspects of ‘Learning to Look’? Why is each one important?
Explain how this concept of visual literacy relates to your art practice and art making decisions.
______________________________________
– The second video, The Importance of Visual Literacy, Martin Scorsese looks at a society inundated with visual images. He expresses how the power of visual imagery in film and advertising challenges the notion of truth and shapes the way people view the world and themselves.
How do films affect our visual literacy?
What are several tools to use to understand and interpret when viewing visual imagery?
Why is it important to be taught to be visually literate?
_______________________________________
– In the third video, Teaching Visual Literacy and Communication, George Lucas stresses the importance of teaching communication as a tool for visual literacy.
What are several forms of communication?
Why does Lucas feel that knowing communication tools are keys to having visual literacy?
Writing will be the first topic: Identity is something that is based on the internal essence of a person

Please use hyperlink above to access painting. There is an “enlarge button” under the image on the website.
(Please note that all the individuals in the painting are men and should be accounted as men in your story. Why the men look the way they do is up to your imagination).
Instructions:
One of the greatest qualities of visual art is the way it “speaks” to each one of us. People may share opinions about a work of art and even feel similar emotional responses, but ultimately our reactions to art and our interpretations of it are as individual as we are. Reading a painting is in many ways like reading a book:
the reader decodes symbols to establish meaning.
the reader uses inference and deduction (e.g. body language) to deepen understanding.
A reader’s previous knowledge and experience affects their personal response.
With this assignment, you have been given an image of Caravaggio’s, The Musicians as well as the traditional interpretation of the art (see above)
Your Essay assignment is to reflect an alternative narrative.
You will describe a story that differs from the traditional interpretation given.
From your imagination, identify who you think the characters in the art are and their motives.
It helps to locate a central character and then grow their relationship to the other characters in the painting.
Describe what the characters see, smell, feel, and hear.
Describe the details that are just outside of the image, the ones we can’t see.
Introduce dialogue into your story. What are they saying?
Select one of the 2D images below and write a one page response paper about the art piece.
Your one page response needs to have realistic margins (not too wide) and spaces between lines (no more than 1.5 between each line).
In your response, discuss the possible meaning in the art work from an arti history persepctive that takes into consideration potential socio-cultural perspectives both from the past and the time frame the painting is from.
Do not do research to get quotes from other people about the painting you choose. I want you to further hone your skills at coming up with your own understanding and ideas about artworks–how they’re made, what the motivations are behind them, and why artist choose to create in the way they do.
Do not tell a story about what you think the painting is about based upon something you cannot back up. Example, don’t tell me a story about Wiley’s painting below–that it’s about a dude who is on his way to his gramma’s house (house in background), but stops to see his homies on the way and gets hot and takes his hoodie off. This is awesome story telling, but not critically applying current events, past events, or issues related to class commentary (I’m giving you some hints here, btw….). These are the ways we want to be thinking about what an art work could be a reflection about. And what we’re learning to do when we examine an art work.
and please answer these questions:
Types of Drawing Media: dry media (charcoal, graphite, chalks and pastels) or Wet Media( Ink,Felt tip)
what is major painting medium( Encaustic, Tempera, Fresco,Oil,Acrylic or Watercolor)
techniques of printmaking: (Relief, Intaglio or Planar)
For each of the written paragraphs on five artworks for an art exhibition titled “Eco-Realities: Exploring
Contemporary Art and the Environment””, add in specific details of how and why each artist achieves their artistic goals. The added points must be related to the theme “intertwined ecology”, which is focused on
interconnectedness of human activities and the state of nature. Further explanations required.
The sections that need editing are highlighted in the feedback given by my TA.
uA formal analysis includes an analysis of the forms appearing in the work you have chosen. These forms give the work its expression, message, or meaning. A formal analysis assumes a work of art is (1) a constructed object (2) that has been created with a stable meaning (even though it might not be clear to the viewer) (3) that can be ascertained by studying the relationships between the elements of the work. To aid in writing a formal analysis, you should think as if you were describing the work of art to someone who has never seen it before. When your reader finishes reading your analysis, she/he should have a complete mental picture of what the work looks like. Yet, the formal analysis is more than just a description of the work. It should also include a thesis statement that reflects your conclusions about the work. The thesis statement may, in general, answer a question like these: What do I think is the meaning of this work? What is the message that this work or artist sends to the viewer? What is this work all about? The thesis statement is an important element. It sets the tone for the entire paper, and sets it apart from being a merely descriptive paper.
Format for the Paper: Two and a half to three pages (not including title page, if you use one), black ink, double spaced, 10 or 12 pt type (Times only), 1″ borders. Make sure you proofread your papers for adhering to the information listed above, as well as incorrect grammar, spelling, punctuation, and other errors. In addition, make sure your paper includes a thesis statement. Your grade will reflect your ability to follow these guidelines.
In the first paragraph, called the introduction, you will include:
*the name of the artist (if known), title (which is underlined or italicized every time vou use the title in vour paper), date, and medium (if known) what you think is the subject
* a very brief description of the work
* thesis statement – usually the last line or so of your first paragraph
From that point, the rest of the formal analysis should include not only a description of the piece, but especially those details of the work that have led you to come to your thesis. Yet, your paper should not be a random flow of ideas about the work (i.e. stream of consciousness writing). Rather, your paper should have a sense of order, moving purposefully through your description with regard to specific elements (ex: one paragraph may deal with composition, another with a description of the figures, another with the background, another about line, etc.). Finally, in your conclusion (the final paragraph) you should end your paper with a restatement of your thesis.
It is important to remember that your interest here is strictly formal; NO RESEARCH IS TO BE USED IN THIS PAPER. In other words, you are strictly relying on your ability to visually ‘read’ a work of art and make interpretations about it based on your analysis of it. Remember too that your analysis should not be just a mechanical, physical description. Please use descriptive language and adjectives to describe your work. Begin with a general description of the work, and then move on to the more specific elements. In addition, please refer to your syllabus concerning my policy on plagiarism – do not share your thesis or paper with other students and please do not work on your paper with another student.m
