this is an explanation about how to do an art comment. An art comment is an essay in
00:00:00
which you have to comment, describe, talk about and show how much do you know
00:00:09
about the image it's been proposed to you. This image can be painting, can be a
00:00:18
monument can be a building can be a sculpture so you have to make an
00:00:27
introduction you have to describe the image with technical words and then the
00:00:32
part that is more important which is called the comment is where you talk
00:00:39
about the style you give examples of this author and other authors and at the
00:00:46
end you have to make a conclusion or assessment so let's go step by step
00:00:52
first of all introduction and catalogation how to start this is the
00:00:59
most difficult part never use the first person like we see you see I am going to
00:01:05
comment we don't use this type of expressions it has to be professional
00:01:12
and unpersonal. So for example a good way to start can be the image to comment
00:01:19
about or the image proposed to comment about or don't know
00:01:27
there are many ways to start but it has to be unpersonal. So the type of
00:01:33
artistical manifestation the first thing you have to say is if it is an
00:01:42
architecture, a building, a monument, a painting, a fresco, sculpture... depending on.
00:01:47
So the image to be commented on is a painting or is an old canvas or is a
00:01:56
monument that is placed here or there or is made by... it doesn't matter the order
00:02:05
but in this first part you have to say the title the author the chronology the
00:02:12
style the place so you have to to write all of this in a connect way so for
00:02:23
example if you talk about the author speak a little bit about the author say
00:02:32
three or four lines about the author. If you talk about the style, you don't need
00:02:39
to talk a lot about the style here, but you can say for example the period or
00:02:47
the main two or three characteristics. The place, where it is, if it is in a museum
00:02:52
or it is in a square. Once you have done this introduction that is, I don't know,
00:03:01
less than half a page you speak about the technical characteristics you have
00:03:10
to talk about what you see you have to describe what you see and maybe you know
00:03:18
you should know more things that are not seen in the image but you talk about
00:03:24
that as well so apart from what you see in the image you have to talk about the
00:03:29
main characteristics of this style. Here you have to have a good writing okay
00:03:33
because usually you have notes that are keywords but you don't have to enumerate
00:03:42
like it has expressiveness, lines and feelings. No! Justify everything you say.
00:03:48
usually your comments are very scarce are very short because you only enumerate
00:03:58
characteristics you don't have to do it like that you have to justify every
00:04:04
characteristic you say so if you say it is expressive say why if you say there
00:04:09
is symmetry say why don't be lazy you have to write more and meanwhile you
00:04:18
describe the image you are talking about the characteristics of the style at the
00:04:27
same time you are explaining everything that you know it's not the same you have
00:04:32
to talk about architecture sculpture or painting of course it's not the same so
00:04:38
imagine that you are describing an architecture or a monument you will
00:04:44
start this part saying this specific type of building for example if it is a
00:04:52
a palace or a temple, a cathedral, a tomb. So it talks us about the function, if it
00:04:58
has a religious purpose or if it is a civil building or it has a funerary
00:05:07
purpose. Talk about the materials. Don't invent things. If you see a marble
00:05:12
sculptor don't say there is bronze. So materials, it is important your
00:05:20
vocabulary because it's not the same if you say it is made of stone than if you
00:05:26
say it is made of marble or limestone or you know some types of stones so you
00:05:32
will get more and more technical vocabulary as you work on this
00:05:38
structural elements try to describe the image maybe the facade of a building not
00:05:46
only enumerating like it has pilars columns and domes no no describe the image describe like the
00:05:56
pilars are supporting the are the the dome for example for example or if there is a dome or
00:06:05
there is not a dome sometimes you say all the structural elements that are general of a period
00:06:14
but in that building there is not that element. For example, I don't know, you have to describe
00:06:19
the Versailles Palace and because it is written that there are domes in the baroque style you
00:06:26
write there are domes. No, in this building there are no domes. There are some general characteristics
00:06:32
of the style but the challenge is to choose what do you have to say in this image. You don't have
00:06:38
to say everything only the correct things talk about the ornamentation if there are decorative
00:06:46
elements or wear everything that you know for example if you are talking about a sculptor
00:06:54
you have to describe if it is a first standing sculptor or a relief
00:07:05
first time the sculptor is a sculptor that in spanish is said
00:07:12
redondo, so you can go around the sculptor. If it is a relief, it is carved on the
00:07:16
stone, you cannot go around. It can be individual or can be a set, it can be a
00:07:23
group, if there are more than two characters. The materials, depending, it
00:07:28
can be clay, marble, wood, bronze, usually it is quite easy to identify. The
00:07:35
technique well if it is made of clay it will be modeling if it is made of
00:07:45
marble it will be carving so improve your writing and explain all of these
00:07:51
characteristics in sentences that are connected with connectors that have a
00:08:01
sense so usually it is very useful to make a brainstorming on a piece of paper
00:08:06
before and link all of this after that. Don't start writing just like this
00:08:13
because you will repeat and repeat and repeat yourself and it won't make any
00:08:21
sense. Well we talked about the composition, if it is a symmetrical
00:08:26
composition, if it is very frontal like for example the Egyptian sculpture that
00:08:34
is thought to be look from the front only or if it is like in baroque
00:08:39
sculptors if it has a multiplicity of points of view so if you go around the
00:08:46
sculptor you always get a good point of view. Explain if there is anatomical
00:08:51
study describing the different parts of the body
00:08:57
if you can see the nails or the veins or the muscles or the articulations
00:09:02
everything that you you can see if there is a representation of movement for
00:09:08
example in Bernini you can see that the figures are running or one figure wants
00:09:15
to get the other one there is movement but in neoclassic sculptures they are
00:09:22
just calm and static so before start saying things stay calm take your time
00:09:29
a look to the image and try to explain what you see. Talk about the theme. Is it a
00:09:38
mythological theme or historical? Is it religious? Is it a portrait or a nude? It
00:09:46
can be two of these or three of these. For example, the Sculpture of Napoleon by
00:09:53
Canova is a portrait of Napoleon. It is historical because it's a
00:09:59
historical character and it is a nude because he is nude. But don't tell me it
00:10:04
is mythological and religious because if it is mythological from Greek and Roman
00:10:11
mythology it is not religious. Religious is a character from the Bible or a saint
00:10:15
or a virgin. Mythological is part of the Greek mythology. A Venus, whatever.
00:10:21
Historical, maybe it is explained in a historical moment. And don't only enumerate,
00:10:27
explain, justify everything that you say. It is religious because the main
00:10:34
character is the Virgin and Jesus Christ, for example. Painting, same thing, type of
00:10:40
painting. Talk about the materials. It is a fresco on a wall, it is an oil on
00:10:51
canvas, it is a drawing on paper, it is an engraving. Talk about the technique. For
00:10:57
example if you talk about oil, óleo, explain what is the oil, oil on canvas
00:11:06
technique. So if you do all this, if you justify everything and you explain
00:11:14
everything you say, you should write a comment of one page for both sides.
00:11:19
Theme. It can be mythological, historical, religious, a portrait, a nude, a still life,
00:11:28
Un bodegón. Composition. The order of the figures in the painting. Are there
00:11:34
many figures or not? Are they very close or there is a clarity in the
00:11:41
representation? Are they diagonals or not? Is there a main figure? What do you see in
00:11:48
the background? Talk about the design and the color. Where is the predominance? In
00:11:56
the design or in the color. In some artistic styles you can see the drawing,
00:12:02
the line very very marked and in other styles you don't see that line, you see
00:12:07
that the color predominates over the line. Is it a plain color? Plain color so
00:12:13
it's not mixed with another one, it's like very primary. Is it transparent? Is it
00:12:22
bright is it pure talk about the light is it an uniform light or do you see a
00:12:29
chiaroscuro which is a sharp contrast of shadows and lights see the vibrant
00:12:37
light like in the impressionism so to be able to see this you have to take good
00:12:42
notes when the teacher explains art in class okay because this is something
00:12:49
that you will learn after having done a lot of this and if you say for example
00:12:53
that there is a chiaroscuro explain what is the chiaroscuro which is the figure
00:13:00
that is more illuminated and which figures are in the darkness so justify
00:13:05
everything you say don't say it has chiaroscuro that's it no it has
00:13:10
For example, there is a chiaroscuro, it can be a soft chiaroscuro or a sharp chiaroscuro,
00:13:16
that is the contrast between lights and shadows.
00:13:29
The main character, don't know, St. Matthews, is illuminated by a white light that comes
00:13:32
from the right superior corner, meanwhile the rest of the characters remain in the darkness.
00:13:40
so you explain the chiaroscuro applying it to the painting good once we have
00:13:46
done this that should be one side of the page okay we go to the comment we
00:13:53
haven't done anything yet the other side of the page should be the comment that
00:14:03
is what you usually don't do this is the most important part okay don't stop in
00:14:08
the analysis. The analysis is only the first part. The second part is
00:14:15
the comment. In the comment you have to talk about the function of this
00:14:21
painting. You have to explain the story that this painting is talking
00:14:26
about. You apply it to the author if this was an important masterpiece of this
00:14:33
author in that moment. Talk about the artistic style in general, giving
00:14:39
examples of similar things of other authors and other masterpieces of this
00:14:46
author. So put it into relation with a historical context. So it is gonna be
00:14:52
almost the second part of the page almost like for example a don't know
00:15:05
like don't know how many lines but like two thirds of the side of the page okay
00:15:15
and the last part is the assessment or conclusion like one paragraph don't know
00:15:20
ten lines maximum in which you explain its importance to the history of art
00:15:28
this is not about giving your opinion this is not about your opinion it's a
00:15:34
scientific analysis so you don't have to say in my opinion or I
00:15:40
think or I like or I don't like it this is not about this it's about explaining
00:15:47
the importance of this piece in the history of art so explain why is it
00:15:52
important or not, talk about the backgrounds, about the inputs or about the
00:16:01
repercussions in the following styles, there is always something important to
00:16:05
say about. This is the most difficult part because this is something that you
00:16:09
have to think and create with your own brain. this is a guide for you to
00:16:15
elaborate your own art comment. Of course you can look for additional information
00:16:23
your textbook, art manuals or internet. The teacher has explained the artistic
00:16:29
style and you have to get notes. This is the most important thing and you can get
00:16:35
more information on internet of course but don't copy a comment that is already
00:16:40
made because this is very clear for a teacher to see that you haven't done
00:16:45
that. So that is called plagiarism and if you do that you will get a zero of
00:16:51
course because you haven't done that okay I'm going to enumerate now some
00:16:58
mistakes that you in general do all the time okay for example a you don't write
00:17:03
enough you have to write more so to write more talk more about its
00:17:13
characteristic justify everything that you say for example in the part of the
00:17:19
common which is the most important part in general you guys have to talk much
00:17:25
more this is the part where you talk about the style in general giving
00:17:31
examples examples of sculptures or buildings or paintings of this author or
00:17:36
talking about other examples of other authors of that period okay more things
00:17:44
follow the guy get the good structure do the comments with the guy there in front
00:17:52
of you follow it do it in this order it is very important improve the
00:18:02
presentation please improve the presentation you present your essays in
00:18:09
a very very messy way. More things. The conclusion, the assessment. Almost anybody
00:18:16
do this part. This is one of the most important parts because
00:18:25
when I read this I get an idea of what have you learned. This is history, this is
00:18:30
not about memorizing and saying what you have memorized. You have to think as well.
00:18:37
more things that I can tell you improve your handwriting in general don't use
00:18:47
the first person I'm going to talk about I think I see we can see don't don't use
00:18:57
this okay in an art comment you show me how good student you are you show me
00:19:04
that you have taken notes that you are able to look for information and that
00:19:14
you can manage your own knowledge. So, show it there. In general, you always repeat the
00:19:20
same mistakes. For example, you enumerate different characteristics without
00:19:29
explaining it. Explain each characteristic applying it to the
00:19:41
image that you are talking about. In general, everybody is making these mistakes.
00:19:49
Well, this is in general what I have to say about the art comments. Don't use red
00:19:57
color, please. Red color is only for the teacher to correct, so please don't use
00:20:09
red color. Don't say things that you don't understand. It sounds crazy.
00:20:15
don't repeat yourself. If you have said something, don't repeat it later.
00:20:25
You have said once, that's it, you know. And well, in general, I think that this is what I wanted to
00:20:32
tell you about the art comment and I hope we will improvise working during the course.
00:20:41
Thank you very much.
