Induction Project Megan
- 2. Task 1 – Research – Web source A group of Dutch artists in 1917 Piet Mondrian, Theo Van Doesburg, Bart van der Leck, Georges Vantongerloo Seeking laws of equilibrium applicable to art and life Mondrian sought ‘pure abstraction’ which he did not find in Analytical Cubism Vertical and horizontal lines Black, white, grey and primary colours De Stijl magazine 1917-1932 ’set forth’ the groups ideas Gerrit Rietveld, Schröder House in Utrecht 1924 Title/Weblink/Date accessed: De Stijl / www.britannica.com/topic/De-Stijl-art / 13/09/21 “Card Players” – Theo van Doesburg 1917
- 3. Task 1 – Research – Web source ‘We speak of concrete and not abstract painting because nothing is more concrete, more real than a line, a colour, a surface.’ - Theo Van Doesburg De Stijl was used as a response to the horrors of WW1 and as a wish to rebuild society, De Stijl members embraced a utopian version of art and it as a means of social redemption Gerrit Rietveld ‘Red and Blue Chair’ 1918 Title/Weblink/Date accessed: De Stijl / www.theartstory.org/movement/de-stijl/ /13/09/21 'Composition A’ - Piet Mondrian 1920 ’Red and Blue Chair’ - Gerrit Rietveld 1918
- 6. Task 1 – Research – Web source ‘The more basic the color, the more inward, the more pure.’ ‘Abstract art is not the creation of another reality but the true vision of reality.’ ’Curves are so emotional.’ ‘I wish to approach truth as closely as is possible, and therefore I abstract everything until I arrive at the fundamental quality of objects.’ Title/Weblink/Date accessed: Piet Mondrian Quotes / www.azquotes.com/author/22953-Piet_Mondrian 13/09/21
- 7. Task 2a – Idea Generation [individual]
- 8. Task 2c – Planning Title ideas Style Neoplasticism Reality Dutch Date – 7th March is van Doesburg’s death day and Mondrian’s birthday Location – Tate Modern Use these slides to show your planning of your products, think about structure and the components for each product [evidence for this may include storyboards, flat plans, sketches, etc]
- 10. Task 4 – Evaluation – Production Describe three strengths of your final pieces. 1- The poster accurately represents the art style. There is only straight lines, horizontal and vertical (as diagonal lines were a point of argument between van Doesburg and Mondrian). There is neutral and primary colours used. 2- The poster follows the brief for what is needed (sans serif, lower caps, one word title). There is at least the information asked for: title, date and location. 3- It is easy to read. The font is clear and there is no colour clash against the background. There is enough space for all the text in their boxes and it is spread out well.
- 11. Task 4 – Evaluation – Production Describe three areas for improvement in your final pieces. 1- The poster could be more detailed and have more information (more dates, a time, info about the style) as someone who didn’t know the art style would probably lose interest unless they were big into art. 2- The text in most boxes should be more central. If the text is off kilter then the reader would notice and it can make the poster look clumsy and unprofessional. There could have been more care taken with the gaps between the edges and the text. 3- The shade of yellow is off-putting as it is slightly greener than it should be. De Stijl is meant to be neutral and primary colours so the yellow being off doesn’t follow the art style as well as it could.
- 12. Task 4 – Evaluation – Problem Solving Describe three problems you faced in your project and how you solved these 1- Learning to use Photoshop for the poster as I have not used it in a few years so was hard to start back up. To solve this I used tutorials and received assistance from tutors- both generally as a class and individually with things I have struggled with. 2- The internet was slow and there were blocked websites- like Youtube. To solve this I was able to use my phone to speed up the process as I could have 2 screens so could check emails on my phone whilst working on my powerpoint. 3- Making sure the lines were all straight and at 90° to each other and making sure there was no overlap was frustrating. To solve this I didn’t rush through the process and used the rectangle tool instead of the line tool where I could to help myself.
- 13. Task 4 – Evaluation – Working with others Choose three aspects of your production where you worked well with your team and this benefited the project 1- Researching together meant we spent less time but were able to gather more information and could discuss what we’d found out. We were able to focus on different things to research and report back to each other. 2- Having a partner meant we could discuss problems we were facing with creating the posters or selecting information. It helped to have someone to talk to about your ideas and could help decide. 3- In my team I was able to receive feedback on my poster that I hadn’t noticed was an issue. It helped to have a third-person perspective before asking a tutor to evaluate.
- 14. Task 4 – Evaluation - Feedback My tutor suggested to move the sub heading slightly to the left, to fit the quote into the box away from the edge so it is easier to read and to move ‘Mondrian’ a line down so it was more even. This made me notice that ‘The Tate Modern’ and ‘style’ were off centre as well so I edited those issues as well.
