AAV 318 Chapter Notes - Chapter 1: Jeff Wall
Document Summary
Read art books and magazines regularly: keep a journal of all interesting material you find in the course of your studies, your reading, or your everyday life. Include articles or images from many disciplines to provide a rich source of ideas for artwork. Reasons for artists to make art in series: help the audience understand what the piece is about. By establishing a body of work, the audience can decipher what each piece is about: sometimes we think our ideas come across well, but since they are our own work, we understand them. Like a roadmap to keep you on the path. A set of conditions or guidelines you intend to completely follow through on: sketch out various ideas for compositions first before actually producing finished pieces that may not work together. Work on several series at the same time: once the ideas behind the series are finalized, stick to them!
