Lecture 4- History of Art and Design

Last week, lecturer mention on the Art appreciation and Critism. 

(Mittler's Method of Apprieciation and Critism)

From his previous lecture, he also mention lot on the Visual Analysis..For me, it is a quite interesting thing to know about. Why? In my opinion, i think it is important for me to work as a designer to understand other people artwork and issues which related to.

The visual analysis is split to five stages.

1.Description
2.Analysis
3.Interpretation 1
4.Cultural Context
5.Judgement (also known as second interpretation)


Description.
The Description is referring to identify the source of the material and how to describe the subject via the material.

Analysis.
In order for a artist to represent a artwork, how is the artist represented their artwork?There are four mainpoint which I would like to know about in this section:
a.Material 
b.Technique
c. Elements
d.Composition

This four thing play an important role for me to know the environment of something, an artwork, a perspection of something. For example, what defines a beauty?

Introduction for the History Of Art And Design

Hello, my name is Lim Jinyoung and today i am going to write about something related to history...

But first of all, there are a few question that are mentioned by lecturer and i am intended to clarify this time for the answer.

First question :
What do you want from the course?
Second Question :
What do you want to do in coming 5 years? 10 years? 20 years?
Third Question : 
What do you hope to get from this particular classes?
and followed by Forth Question:
Is history Art and Design necessary do you think for longer goal?

For me , this few question play an important role for a student to understand the Art history. Why?
this is an obvious question that I should know the main objective of this subject, THE HISTORY OF ART AND DESIGN.

In this subject, I realized that the history told us their essence of an art or even a masterpiece from the past. (Example, the thought of art during the Renaissance period). In my opinion, this subject is structured for a student to understand and analyses a information from a image that require us to understand it visually. Besides it enhance our analytic skill toward an art piece, it also increase our understanding of the History from every part of the world.

Secondly, I currently play an role as a student in Tunku Abdul Rahman University and for the planning of my carrier, I am planning to graduate as Bachelor of Art in Graphic Design and I am trying to seek for a opportunity from a job which the arts that I have learned meet the application on my carrier. On the other hand, to demystify my thought of the the art from the past, I am encouraged to visit the museum to clarify and learn new information about the past. For example, the fashion trend on the past.

From this class, i am expected to learn on how to improved the strength and the weakness on my practical skill, to explore the fundamental of design in depth. For the last question, I agree with the statement that the history of art and design is a complementary subject which gives people an opportunity to think for a longer goal. It is important for an amateur to discover and understand the beauty of the art over the masterpiece. this is important for me because the knowledge that i have gain is essential on how am i going to implement the usage of art from the past to today.
