- [00:00:04.092]Welcome to Sheldon!
- [00:00:05.070]I am gonna give you a quick introduction,
- [00:00:07.510]both to the museum
- [00:00:08.460]and to our Richard Diebenkorn painting
- [00:00:10.900]which is going to be the emphasis
- [00:00:13.480]for some of your assignments and projects this semester.
- [00:00:16.930](upbeat music)
- [00:00:24.550]We are working with understanding compositional principles
- [00:00:27.580]and elements, as a tool to read two-dimensional
- [00:00:30.540]and three-dimensional space.
- [00:00:32.340]I don't know, like, it's confusing to me,
- [00:00:34.100]like, which one of them, like, is in the,
- [00:00:35.718]like, in front?
- [00:00:36.551]And which one is, like, in the back though?
- [00:00:38.540]Right, so how is he using color.
- [00:00:40.200]Well, he's also, so he's playing with value.
- [00:00:43.330]So the students have analyzed a reproduction
- [00:00:46.230]previously to going to the gallery,
- [00:00:48.470]and then they were able to analyze Ocean Park 89.5.
- [00:00:52.370]We were starting to question, like,
- [00:00:54.074]some of the lines that you can see,
- [00:00:56.760]that are, like, (mumbling) for some reason.
- [00:00:59.550]So what they're gonna come back with
- [00:01:01.460]is an understanding of the compositional principles
- [00:01:04.350]and elements and then be able to translate them
- [00:01:06.500]into their own two-dimensional compositions
- [00:01:09.130]which will eventually lead
- [00:01:10.420]to a new three-dimensional study.
- [00:01:13.180]So we all have an Ocean Park painting
- [00:01:14.690]and we are basically deconstructing it
- [00:01:17.580]into the different elements and principles of design,
- [00:01:20.440]and then also, just how we can start
- [00:01:22.230]to tie the principles into our own takeaway from it.
- [00:01:26.190]I felt like it was really interesting
- [00:01:27.930]to see, like, the paint strokes
- [00:01:29.630]that you wouldn't have seen otherwise,
- [00:01:31.510]like, in the printing of the painting,
- [00:01:34.040]and then it's just interesting to, like,
- [00:01:35.810]see the different layers, more in depth,
- [00:01:38.100]from being able to see it in person.
- [00:01:40.160]I think it's really amazing
- [00:01:41.870]that we have one at the Sheldon.
- [00:01:43.460]I mean, it helps us a lot to see, kind of,
- [00:01:45.810]how his actual paintings and art look,
- [00:01:49.830]because we've been looking at printed versions,
- [00:01:51.490]and it's a little different.
- [00:01:52.700]But seeing it in real life was, like,
- [00:01:54.330]really interesting, really cool.
