The artists describe what they're doing by showing how they paint, and exactly why they paint that. For example, Bob Ross says, "here I pull the brush down to create a reflection effect. The bigger the tree, the harder I pull down on the brush." While they describe their moves, they always refer to what they're painting. For example, the charcoal painter constantly refers to specific branches that stand out to him while he is painting the tree. He then describes how he uses the color white to accentuate those branches that he feels are of extreme importance to the whole painting of the tree itself.
At least from my perspective in the disney video, the painters direct their viewers' attention to the motion of the painting, and then, the thing that they are painting itself. For example, the architect painter focuses on the structure of the painting while creating simple and smooth lines to keep his painting looking very modern and structural. While he is talking/painting, they show mostly stills of the tree, while when they are featuring other painters, the camera moves around or pans in and out to show a different aspect of the tree whether it is the background or the branches themselves.
I like how you did bullet points for your Moves. Made it easier to follow along. I am very interested to know more about your creating a reflection move. What did you mean by creating a reflection? I totally agree with your perspective of the Disney video. The artist definitely focused more on their motions and their own unique style of creating a drawing of a tree.
ReplyDeleteHey Elliot I thought that you did a great job analyzing the videos and addressed all the questions. You answered every question, but I think you should try to explain why the artist did what they do. For example why would Ross care about the viewer knowing about the color he used to accentuate the branches. I thought that your inclusion of camera movement was a something interesting to include because most people would think little about the movement when talking about the artist painted.
