    ehtävät

    • Tunne / Emotion 

      Kuvataiteessa on hyvin tavallista käsikirjoittaa teos ennen sen toteuttamista, tai kenties jälkeenpäin vain halutaan antaa sellainen vaikutelma. Yleisesti odotetaan, että taiteilija antaa teokselleen myös kirjallisen merkityksen. Tällä kurssilla tehtävässä taideteoksessa toivon teidän pyrkivän aluksi antamaan visuaalisille mielikuville ylivallan selittämisen kustannuksella. Taideteos on ehkä aina tekijänsä mielen jatke - kuva voi tehdä kätketyn tiedostamattoman näkyväksi, ja kun se kerran on tullut näkyväksi, on siitä helpompaa sen jälkeen puhua! 

      Ota teoksesi lähtökohdaksi jokin tunne. Sen ei tarvitse edes olla tunnistettavissa miksikään tietyksi tunteeksi, kuten onni, viha, häpeä tai ilo, vaan se voi myös olla jokin vielä määrittelemättömäksi jäänyt tunne, jonka läsnäolon havaitset.  Tehtävänä on tehdä tuo tunne näkyväksi, antaa sille fyysinen olomuoto.


      It is usual to make a script for the art work before one start working. Or perhaps it is just worthwhile afterwards to give such an impression. The artist is commonly expected to give a description of the art work. On this course I hope you let your visual imagination dominate your impulses to explain the art work. However, an artwork is perhaps always an extension to the artist’s mind and it makes the hidden unconscious visible and once it is visible then it is easier to talk about it!

      Take one emotion a starting point to your art work. It doesn’t need to be any specified emotion such as happiness, hatred, shame or joy. It can be still an unspecified emotion which you recognize to be present. Make it visible, give it a physical shape.


Assessment Methods and Criteria

  • valid for whole curriculum period:

    Individual and small group discussion and critique. Active participation in classwork. Successful completion of own project.

Workload

  • valid for whole curriculum period:
