Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Subject of Art in Process not only sets out to construct a new visual-based paradigm, one that attempts to address the vast array of complexities facing today's artists, but perhaps, more importantly, it opens the door to a possible Renewed Art Education. The Subject of Art in Process introduces IIAE (InterActive InterDisciplinary Art Education), an orientation grounded in the practice of inner image/outer image fluency of individual subjects engaged as members in a community of voices and as activators, inter-activators, and retro-activators, and, in particular, selfTeachers (intra-activators), in a community of voices that share interDiscliplinary knowledge.
Download or read book All About Process written by Kim Grant and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2017-02-28 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, many prominent and successful artists have claimed that their primary concern is not the artwork they produce but the artistic process itself. In this volume, Kim Grant analyzes this idea and traces its historical roots, showing how changing concepts of artistic process have played a dominant role in the development of modern and contemporary art. This astute account of the ways in which process has been understood and addressed examines canonical artists such as Monet, Cézanne, Matisse, and De Kooning, as well as philosophers and art theorists such as Henri Focillon, R. G. Collingwood, and John Dewey. Placing “process art” within a larger historical context, Grant looks at the changing relations of the artist’s labor to traditional craftsmanship and industrial production, the status of art as a commodity, the increasing importance of the body and materiality in art making, and the nature and significance of the artist’s role in modern society. In doing so, she shows how process is an intrinsic part of aesthetic theory that connects to important contemporary debates about work, craft, and labor. Comprehensive and insightful, this synthetic study of process in modern and contemporary art reveals how artists’ explicit engagement with the concept fits into a broader narrative of the significance of art in the industrial and postindustrial world.

Book excerpt: In the visual arts field there remains a mystique around artistic process that suggests that success relies on an individualś tapping into his/her intuitive genius. Artistic process, beyond technical craftsmanship, is not something that is dealt with piece-by-piece, aspect-by-aspect. Art educators struggle for a curriculum that incorporates structure while maintaining artistic individuality. This study turns to the revolution in the teaching of writing that occurred in the 70ś in which an approach was adopted that delved into the actual process of writing rather than teaching the mechanics around writing. Educators in the field came to recognize common, tangible key elements used by authors that continually re-emerged as they worked. Writing process became definable in manageable, recognizable, teachable components. Four fundamental skills of writing process (discovering the subject, sensing an audience, searching for specifics and creating a design) as defined by Murray (1968, 1990) and redefined by Mamchur (2004) are examined in this study to determine if they are also present and recognizable in the visual arts process. Archival research of writings by and about practising writers and visual artists speaking about their process revealed that the four skills were present and recognizable to the degree that it was possible to select quotes from the works of both that amply represented all four aspects of artistic process as defined in this study. A Case study demonstrated that the four skills were observable and evidenced in the artistic process of a successful artist as he prepared for an exhibition in his studio. And finally, an arts-based research study of my artistic process provided insight into how the creative writing model was used by this artist as a tool for critiquing and informing her artistic process, particularly during revision. As a tool, the discreet aspects of process (discovering the subject, sensing the audience, searching for specifics, creating a design) could provide educators with a comprehensive framework for examining and teaching artistic process. The ability to name and intellectually address discreet aspects of process could enable artists to gain insight into the mystery of creating and bring them closer to producing satisfying work.

Download or read book On Beardsley s view of the artistic process written by Wolfgang Ruttkowski and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2008-01-16 with total page 13 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essay from the year 1994 in the subject Philosophy - Practical (Ethics, Aesthetics, Culture, Nature, Right, ...), grade: keine, Kyoto Sangyo University, language: English, abstract: In his essay "On the Creation of ART" Monroe Beardsley, probably the best known American philosopher working in the field of aesthetics, is setting himself the task of inquiring into the creative process "between the incept (short for: inceptive element) and the final touch" asking "how the work of art itself comes into existence and takes on its character through the stages or phases of this process." After an interval of more than two decades I would like to offer a few belated comments on Beardsley's ideas, since it seems to me that characteristic differences between American and German thought on this central issue of aesthetics can be shown by this.

Download or read book Uncovering the Body written by Ed Levine and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2005 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Uncovering the Body provides a new perspective on how to experience and think about art and the artistic process. It uses the bodily experience as the source and mode of engaging and experiencing work. Our older ways of thinking about art imply the dualities of mind and body, reason and feeling. Author Ed Levine includes chapters on the following subject matter to explain his innovative philosophy: Bodily thoughts and the intelligent flesh Art and ornithology: artist as migratory bird The artistic process Looking into time Western culture is marked by dualities of mind and body, and of body and spirit, which have found their way into our thinking and understanding of art and the artistic process. Thinking and experiencing through and by means of the body can dissolve these dichotomies and provide an alternative way of engaging and finding meaning in works of art. Uncovering the Body provides an alternative to the postmodern interpretation of art. It offers a point of view that moves beyond the limitations that postmodern thinking imposes on our understanding of art and its methods. By reengaging our bodies, we can establish a new relationship between art and ourselves.

Download or read book The Challenge of Modern Art written by Allen Leepa and published by Read Books Ltd. This book was released on 2013-05-31 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The science of aesthetics was originally based on classical art even a contemporary philosopher of art like Croce never departs from the data of the Graeco-Roman and Renaissance tradition. Modern art, however, has made a decisive break with that tradition, and considerable confusion has been caused by the application to its products of criteria of judgment derived from a past historical phase. Even in our private, unprofessional approach to modern art, we come unconsciously armed with such prejudices. What, therefore, was necessary was a complete revision of aesthetics on the basis of the ample material produced by the modern movement in art, and this Mr. Allen Leepa has now provided. The material in question consists primarily of the works' of art themselves, and these, in significant selection, Mr. Leepa has subjected to a thorough functional analysis. But he realises that the explanation of art does not end with its formal dissection the function of art, as he says, is to ex press emotional meanings in the organized patterns of a medium and he has ventured on the much more difficult task of defining the nature of that psychological process. At this point formal analysis is of no avail, and what we fall back on is the artist's own description of his activity. Luckily modern artists have been surprisingly communicative, and Mr. Leepa has not failed to take advantage of the statements which, from time to time, artists like Picasso, Matisse, Klee and Mondrian have made. He has been aided in his under standing of what they mean ( which is not always clear) by his own practice as a painter, which has saved him from some of the simplifications which an outsider might be tempted to make for the sake of a neat system. Admirable, for example, is the way in which he insists, in Chapter X, on the mutual interaction of medium and idea in the process of creation. We are far too apt to think of the work of art as the illustration of a preconceived idea, instead of an organic growth in which idea only played the part of germ or seed. Particular attention should be given to all that Mr. Leepa has to say on the subject of abstract art, for which the average critic has hitherto reserved his most obstinate resistance. In its various forms ( and there is a wide divergence of aim within the so-called abstract movement) this type of art does, of course, make the most decisive break with the classical or humanist tradition. It is to be observed, however, that it is precisely this type of art which lends itself to the formulation of a coherent aesthetic; and though Mr. Leepa quite rightly insists on its individualistic and subjective nature, the final result would seem to be the discovery of archetypal forms of the widest social significance. The last point I would like to select for emphasis from a book so replete with interest is the firm way in which Mr. Leepa insists on the social significance of his subject.

Download or read book The Artist s Book written by Regina Newey and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As an art form the artist's book inhabits an uncertain status sited between language, sign, image and object. It is because of its characteristic ambiguity that I have made it the subject of my research and intellectualenquiry for this exegesis.Although my studio practice has often entailed working with images and language, it was through further research that my work took on a different context and with time became precursors for books.This study explores the development of the new work with its emphasis on process. The books that resulted were deconstructed fragments from a larger work on paper. These emphasised an interrupted and changednarrative and the potential for an alternative reading and interpretation.In order to establish a historical context for my studio research, this exegesis examines the concepts of chance, process and activism.These specific subject areas are central to the charged but intermittent historical trajectory of the artist's book. The influential legacies of both William Blake and Stephane Mallarme are discussed, as is the role of the Russian and Italian Futurists and their instigation of the artist's book as a voice of protest during the social and political unrest at the beginning of the last century. Within a Contemporary context an exploration of the works of John Cage, Ed Ruscha and Robert Rooney represent three diverse approaches to the artist's book.All of these artists and writers have, in various ways prompted me to thinkabout the very nature of reading and its meaning. The results of my enquiries are recorded in the following chapters.
Download or read book The Concept of Creativity in Science and Art written by D. Dutton and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This third volume of American University Publications in Philos ophy continues the tradition of presenting books in the series shaping current frontiers and new directions in phi. osophical reflection. In a period emerging from the neglect of creativity by positivism, Professors Dutton and Krausz and their eminent colleagues included in the collection challenge modern philosophy to explore the concept of creativity in both scientific inquiry and artistic production. In view of the fact that Professor Krausz served at one time as Visiting Professor of Philosophy at The American University we are especially pleased to include this volume in the series. HAROLD A. DURFEE, for the editors of American University Publications in Philosophy EDITORS' PREFACE While the literature on the psychology of creativity is substantial, surprisingly little attention has been paid to the subject by philos ophers in recent years. This fact is no doubt owed in 'part to the legacy of positivism, whose tenets have included a sharp distinction between what Hans Reichenbach called the context of discovery and the context of justification. Philosophy in this view must address itself to the logic of justifying hypotheses; little of philo sophical importance can be said about the more creative business of discovering them. That, positivism has held, is no more than a merely psychological question: since there is no logic of discovery or creation, there can be no philosophical reconstruction of it.
