Angles2

Subjective Angle

In a subjective angle the camera is put in place of a character and shows us the scene from the character's point of view. Subjective angles are useful for bringing the viewer into the action. Think of the difference between showing an auto race from the point of view of somebody watching in the grandstand, and showing it from the point of view of a driver in a car speeding around the track. When used effectively a subjective camera angle can make a great impact on the viewer.

High Angle

In a high angle shot the camera is positioned above eye level, with the camera shooting down on the subject. A high camera angle is useful for showing the audience an overview of your scene or shooting area.

In addition, a high camera angle tends to make the subject appear smaller in size and stature. Looking down on a subject suggests a feeling of loneliness and a lack of power.

Normal Angle

In a normal angle shot the camera is positioned at approximately the subject's eye level, shooting the scene as we would normally view the world. The "normal" angle will vary depending on the subject being shot. If you were shooting a group of children at play then a normal "adult" angle would be too high. In a case like this you should lower the camera.

Remember, the normal angle refers to the subject's position, not the position most comfortable for you.

Low Angle

In a low angle shot the camera is positioned below eye level, with the camera shooting up at the subject. Shooting up from a low angle makes the subject appear larger and suggests a feeling of power and dominance. Many political candidates prefer to be shot from a slightly lower angle to make themselves look taller and more important. In movies, the villain is often shot from a low angle to make them appear more sinister.




Canted Angle

In a canted angle the camera is tilted on its horizontal plane to produce a slightly unstable picture. This suggests a feeling of excitement, suspense or fantasy to the viewer. Since this is a view of the world that we are not used to seeing, this effect should be used sparingly.

Angles

certain camera angles convey specific impressions to the viewer.

A low-angle shot usually suggests a powerful and dominant subject whereas a high-angle shot makes a subject appear less powerful and physically smaller.

A subjective shot is a much different view of a scene from what we are normally used to seeing and tends to involve the viewer.

Symbolism_1

Symbolism

Symbolism originated in France, and was part of a 19th-century movement in which art became infused with mysticism. It was a continuation of the Romantic tradition.

French Symbolism was both a continuation of the Romantic tradition and a reaction to the realistic approach of impressionism. It served as a catalyst in the outgrowth of the darker sides of Romanticism and toward abstraction.

The term Symbolism means the systematic use of symbols or pictorial conventions to express an allegorical meaning. Symbolism is an important element of most religious arts and reading symbols plays a main role in psychoanalysis. Thus, the Symbolist painters used these symbols from mythology and dream imagery for a visual language of the soul.

There were several, rather dissimilar, groups of Symbolist painters and visual artists. Symbolism in painting had a large geographical reach, reaching several Russian artists, as well as American. The closest to Symbolism was Aestheticism. The Pre-Raphaelites, also, were contemporaries of the earlier Symbolists, and have much in common with them. Symbolism had a significant influence on Expressionism and Surrealism, two movements which descend directly from Symbolism proper. The work of some Symbolist visual artists directly impacted the curvilinear forms of the contemporary Art Nouveau movements in Europe and Les Nabis.

which included such artists as John Henry Fuseli and Caspar David Friedrich.

Anticipating Freud and Jung, the Symbolists mined mythology and dream imagery for a visual language of the soul. More a philosophical approach than an actual style of art, they influenced their contemporaries in the Art Nouveau movement and Les Nabis.

The leading Symbolists included Gustave Moreau, Puvis de Chavannes, and Odilon Redon.

The movement was also a major influence on some of the Expressionists, especially on the work of Franz von Stuck and Edvard Munch.



In my point of view, it has not giving a meaning directly it is abstract art.

It contains inside world like potential meaning not the viewing only which provided particular images or objects with esoteric attractions.

Symbolist believed that art should apprehend more absolute truths which could only be accessed indirectly. Thus, they painted scenes from nature, human activities, and all other real world phenomena in a highly metaphorical and suggestive manner.

Not so much a style of art, Symbolism was more an international ideological trend.

white rabbit gallery

Location: 30 Balfour St. Chippendale
Opening times: Thursday – Sunday 10am – 6pm
Entry fee: Free
Theme of White Rabbit Gallery: Contemporary Chinese art produced after 2000.

History of White Rabbit Gallery:
In late 1990s,the origins of the Collection came when Judith Neilson engaged Wang Zhiyuan who is a Chinese artist then living in Sydney, as her art tutor. He introduced her to the astonishing explosion of creativity taking place in China in the wake of the “Opening Up” that had begun in 1989. Mrs Neilson began buying works, but soon ran out of space to hang them. She and her husband then decided to open a gallery that would make the exciting world of contemporary Chinese art available to all Australians. The other hand, only a fraction of the Collection is on show at any time. And the entire contents of the gallery are rehung twice a year.

Your favourite piece of art and why?





my favorite piece of art is Han jinpeng
His art is quiet amazing to me he use a film to look like a picture which is Mona Lisa
He acted Mona lisa and then few minute later it has totally changed. His recording represent the whole part of painting of mona lisa is changed and washed out. It looks funny but I thought it has a different meaning. He just analysed the masterpiece in a different way that make me think the art is not always the same. It is a progressive and has developed, changed by many art lovers.


Your least favourite piece of art and why?





my least favourite piece of art is by chen-chunmu.
When I watch his art I felt it makes me think image of female in every his painting looks a traditional artwork of china. mostly I found the birds painting is looks like a human but it is a female. I feel uncomfortable that he paints and describes the female as a monster and mysterious universality of mythical beings like mermaids or minotaurs.


Benefit from the white rabbit gallery
When I was in the gallery, I found the atmosphere of the china. From the entrance I saw teahouse and some souvenir shop it is full with feeling of china. And I surprised by the full of the Chinese arts that we can find it in Australia Sydney.

And many interesting pictures are that makes impression about issues with Chinese government.

Some people believe that they should visit the art gallery, which is famous and well-known place only.

However, white rabbit gallery is the most interesting art gallery to me.

I prefer to stay the place where is quiet and tidy, which is not crowded with many people.
In this reason I enjoyed the white rabbit gallery the most.

This gallery has an impressive Chinese painting.

In addition to these, it also has paintings and statues by famous.
This makes it an interesting gallery. There you will find glorious works by the best-known artists of china.

Even the building itself is totally impressive, with all the bottle and something is outside of lift.

These can be of great learning value in understanding the culture of the china.

In my opinion, art is a beautiful part of our history so visiting an art gallery is a journey back through time and into the creative master minds that help shape our culture.

indirect gaze, direct gaze

Kress a van leewen

The spectator's gaze:
that of the spectator viewing the text, i.e. the reader(s) of the text.

The Intra-diegetic gaze:
in a text, a character gazes upon an object or another character in the text.

The Extra-diegetic gaze:
a textual character consciously addresses (looks at) the viewer, e.g. in dramaturgy, an aside to the audience; in cinema, acknowledgement of the fourth wall, the viewer.

The camera's gaze:
is the film director's gaze.

The editorial gaze:
emphasizes a textual aspect, e.g. a photograph, its cropping and caption direct the reader(s) to a specific person, place, or object in the text.

The Gaze is a relationship, between offering and demanding

the indirect gaze
is the spectator's offer, wherein the spectator initiates viewing the subject, who is unaware of being viewed;


this picture makes me gaze the body then let's us to work out.
First time I saw this picture with a short glance, it was just a body. I couldn't accept this meaning easily but continuously I watch it,and then I get the point of this picture.

the direct gaze
is the subject's demand to be viewed.

he suggest us to join the army it force me to do something strongly.


In my opinion, there is a way to understand the gaze that is depended on the spectator's point of view.
Perhaps, it is a communication about the picture between spectators and artist to understand.

Proxemics

Most people want to keep their distance.

there is a differences about the space which is a concept of the communication.

I think it is a interacting space to communicate.

• Intimate distance: embracing, touching, whispering
  0 inches - 18 inches
  
• Personal distance: interactions among close friends
  1.5 feet - 4 feet
  
• Social distance: interactions among acquaintances
  4 feet - 12 feet
  
• Public distance: typically used for public speaking forums
  12 feet - 25+ feet
  

While these delineations are standards upheld by North Americans, it's important to note that they do vary according to different cultures.

High-contact cultures maintain smaller relative distances when interacting.
Latin, Arab, & Mediterranean cultures are more comfortable with a shorter amount of personal space.

Conversely, low-contact cultures such as Nordic & Asian people prefer most interactions remain within Hall's social distance zone.
In fact, low-contact cultures often prefer no contact at all as it can be viewed as intrusive

In all cultures, the degree of space is heavily determined by specific elements involved in each unique situation. Gender, circumstances, privacy, and comfort levels among many other factors can alter or determine an individual's reaction. I'm sure that - if given the opportunity - any one of us would prefer a private jet over a crowded airplane.

An affordance ?

I researched something about object that teacher ask us.
and then I've got some idea between person to object.
this is called an affordance..

An affordance is a quality of an object, or an environment, that allows an individual to perform an action

"action possibilities"

“Affordance” is a term used by perceptual psychologists. Affordance is what an object suggests to us. For example, if you see a bench, you might think to sit down on it, or to lie down on it. Some doors have a panel on once side, and a handle on the other. If you see the panel, you think to push it. If you see the handle, you think to pull it. Perceptual psychologists use the phrase “object affordance” to talk about how objects make us think to use them. Perceptual psychologists ask, “What is it about this object that makes people want to use it this way?” The object must talk to us with some sort of language. If we can understand this language, then we can make tools that tell us how to use them!

These pictures are an example of affordance in our life.


toilet roll allows us to put some pens.

two same shape of tables make me to put together like to see one table.

In any places I can find the hole and some people put their cigarette on it.

And someone throw cigarette on the street that effect to people to put cigarette to be seen as a line.

affordance allows us to look at something and intuitively understand how to interact with it.For example,when we see a small button next to a door, we know we should push it with a finger. Convention tells us it will make a sound, notifying the homeowner that someone is at the door. This concept transfers to the virtual environment: when we see a 3D-shaped button on a web page, we understand that we are supposed to “push” it with a mouse-click.




Examples of Perceived Affordance in Website Buttons:



In order to visually communicate that a button is clickable and will enable the site visitor to take action, it is necessary to use design to visually separate, distinguish and illuminate a function. As demonstrated above, Amazon.com uses many design elements to generate high perceived
affordance of their Add to Shopping Cart button,





including use of: Strongly contrasting yellow button color Only use of that yellow color on the page Heavy outline border around button Round strongly contrasting icon of shopping basket Text in button Add to Shopping Cart Larger font for button text Elongated shape, round on left side, squared on right side Gradient fill in top of button to visually mimic 3-D shape Dark blue background color for surrounding box





Another example is eBay, which creates a high perceived affordance of the Buy It Now button. For eBay, the Buy It Now button uses multiple design elements to effectively communicate perceived affordance:

Strongly contrasting blue button color Only use of that blue button color on the page Largest sized button on page Text in button the Buy It Now Larger font for button text Strong contrasting colors, white text on blue background Dark gray background color for surrounding box

impressionism spring image

I try to make a picture to be a impressionism painting

Firstly, I use a filter smudge stick to show the balance of the dots to look

And I copy the layers and put the overlay to impress the image clearly.

and add screen to show the trace of the soft light.

As I have seen the paintings, it is mostly express the comfortable feeling for me.

So, I just tried to edit a picture to make a comfortable feeling.

impressionism

When

The term impressionism was first used in 1874 when a journalist ridiculed a painting by Claude Monet called: Impression – Sunrise.

Where

association of Paris-based artists whose independent exhibitions brought them to prominence in the 1870s and 1880s. at the first exhibition of the impressionists in Paris, in 1874

What

'Impressionism' subsequently became widely used to describe the type of painting practiced by this group of artists, who exhibited together eight times up until 1886.

Impressionism is a movement in French painting, sometimes called optical realism because of its almost scientific interest in the actual visual experience and effect of light and movement on appearance of objects.

This is why most impressionist art is best viewed from a distance, to allow the characteristic broken, dotted or flickering brush work - so effective in capturing the quality of light - to merge into a cohesive image.

Key people

Manet prefered to paint everyday objects. Pissaro and Sisley painted the French countryside and river scenes. Degas enjoyed painting ballet dancers and horse races. Morisot painted women doing everyday things. Renoir loved to show the effect of sunlight on flowers and figures.

My opinion

There is a painting that can make a meaning is to change the world.

What is the master piece? Perharps, it is a way to make a value of new stream.

I thought impress is the representative of the real world view.

There are two different ways to express their feeling which is from their life style.

For example, Claude Monet shows us the real nature, that he used to watch, and

manet shows the city life. this is also interest thing to consider about impressionism.

impressionism is the meaning of the changing and expression of world's artists point of view, using the way to paint the light, color.

it is the main theme of expression in the art until now.

The White Rabbit Collection

What is The White Rabbit Collection?

The White Rabbit Collection is one of the world’s largest and most significant collections of contemporary Chinese art. Founded by Kerr and Judith Neilson, it focuses on works produced after 2000.

The origins of the Collection go back to the late 1990s, when Judith Neilson engaged Wang Zhiyuan, a Chinese artist then living in Sydney, as her art tutor. He introduced her to the astonishing explosion of creativity taking place in China in the wake of the “Opening Up” that had begun in 1989. Mrs Neilson began buying works, but soon ran out of space to hang them. She and her husband then decided to open a gallery that would make the exciting world of contemporary Chinese art available to all Australians.

The White Rabbit Gallery, a specially converted knitting factory near Sydney’s Central Station, has four floors of exhibition space as well as a theatrette, a library and a tea house. Only a fraction of the Collection is on show at any time. The entire contents of the gallery are rehung twice a year.

Feature



From the website, I could understand Chinese contemporary art a little.
and there are many artists who come from china in website that explain me to learn what is the Chinese art is.


What I like is..
Firstly, website is pretty impresive for me especially, flash menu is the most interest thing for me. when I click the banner continuously the image is changed, then shows the various feeling of Chinese arts. and I think some of paintings are shown in website represented the other paintings as well even it is just still shot to check art which is in art gallery. It helps me to understand easily what the Chinese contemporary art is.


what I hate is..
most of pictures are just Chinese contemporary art so I just see the only few of paintings that make me feel bored to see the art works. So it is just specific art to me that is typical and sometimes it looks like all of the same pattern of the art.
