Just a moment, I need to tell my friend where my office is, so she can go get my sweater, 'cause I'm an old lady, and, too. 13. I mean, she's 18, okay. I'm going to go down this hallway, you've moved to my office. It's like very in the mall. And then even since Miss Willis, I'm on Memphis, somewhere it's go to night. Look, you can use this one for the longest one. You have to talk with her a little bit. I think it's a great sweater, but... Yeah, sure. Can you go off the store, the demo hall, just to 18 cats, right there? Get yourself a little something if you need it. Okay. Take notes for her. All right. Have I said these words to you, black equals shape. Yes. That's the kind of thing that you might see on the test. You might see shade equals, and you're gonna put... What? And I'm gonna put, you say, little app. Tone equals. Great, great. Gray, thank you. A little louder, 'cause people are mouthing it. No, I need to be louder. Uh, tint, T I N T, equals white, white. Perfect. Okay, see, now you getting it. Uh, if you see the description, Italian for light to dark, the answer is... Yeah. Cordoscuro, I appreciate you trying, man. Uh, who wants to try to spell quarter squirrel? Anybody? Go ahead. A, R, R, R. Sure. Absolutely. You got the first five letters right, as far as I was concerned, you did it, okay? But she's correct. Coral squirrels. Okay. If I say to you, thank you. I say to you, thank you. See how it's been. Okay. If I say to you a category with only black, white, and gray, the answer would be... A chromatic is correct. If I say to you, destroy the culture to destroy... I mean, destroy the art to destroy the culture. Oh, London. Okay, I'm feeling good about us today. I wanna be sure the next word. Genre equals category. So on the test, if you see the word category. The answer is... genre. That's exactly right. There are two times of implied lines. Have we gotten that far? I didn't think so. Uh, there are two types of implied line. Go first. No colors of art, and a notion. Yes, okay, I did say, we're colors of bud and a non continuation of lines. Have we looked at those? On here? Are we looking for a cassette? Oh, with the cassette, not up here. Okay. Okay. Oh. I told you that Mary Cassette was an impressionist, right? There are two genres of, uh, art period where I know y'all have heard of, and I don't know why it is that way, but impressionism, y'all all heard impressionism, and you've all heard of the Renaissance, correct? I mean, at least the Renaissance, right? Is there one point where you can say, I've heard of this, and I can point you in different directions. Okay. Have I told you three of the Impressionists? Yes. What are their names? Uh, American... Oh, God, my names. Kassat, Monet, and Desgas. That is absolutely correct. Very good. Um, I know that I gave you diptic. So you diptic, tryptic, polyeptic, correct? Yes. Okay. And I told you, oh, I know I told you this. That a horizontal line is placid, a vertical line, is...? Asserted? Yes, ma'am. questions again. Say again, the name's the impression. The name is the impressionist of Monet. He's one who does the water Lewis. Monet, Cassette, and Degot, the Gods D E G A S. Is that what you were asking? Yeah. Okay. That God's the one who does all those ballerinas. You know what I'm talking about? I know you know what I'm talking about. Oh, Savannah, did you see the diptych? What was the diptych? Oh, there's a coup prints out there that are right next to each other. And what are them? details were the story because my glasses for me. Did you see the tripping? Yeah, it's just... It almost looks like... She earned it. Okay. Maybe I go outside and see a glass sculpture. Thursday, if you're not washed away by Thursday, it was supposed to rain tonight. And I'm going to prison, and it's gonna rain. I'm gonna go. All right. Thursday, when you come to class, this class is good about showing up, when you come to class, find a glass sculpture. You can find something glass like on either side. One is glass, one is more ceramic. My expectation is somebody go find these sculptures are about as big as these desks put together. These are not time. In fact, one of the sculptures, the lady completed, she came, she saw it in the stalls, we had a party. She died the next day. We were the last thing she ever did. I know. You know, the great big Sam Houston statue. Anybody come on 45 from Houston? Mm hmm. Another great big Sam Houston. That artist's name, his name was David Addix. He was a, uh, master's called terminal level, uh, from here and Sam. He did a lot of the artwork that's in that in high school. He died 6 months ago. He was 94 years old. A life, well lived, my friend. Life well lived, so we've got stuff here. We've got stuff at Sam's. All right. Have I given you the definition of art? No? Oh, this is a good one. Get ready to write. I'm gonna give you Ms. Willis's definition of art. DiMaris, is that it? DiMaris, DiMaris looks right here. She looks very intent. You have a question, you're stretching, stretching. Okay, all of the other things are reasonable... Say again? If it follows the other names in principle, it is art. I love that you tried, but no. It's not it. Thank you for trying. Yes, Taylor. I love you. I love that, but no, that's not what's gonna be on the test. I do have to. You ready? Okay. Art is. It's the whole thing. Art is. If I ask you, if I say, Write the definition, Ms. Willis gave in class for art, the answer is simply gonna be... Art is. Look, it is crazy, and let me tell you why, it's crazy. Because we've gotten to a point... Stop me if I say this, man. We've gotten to a point where somebody can put a banana on the wall and sell it for $120,000. They put a banana on the wall and sell it for 16. I mean, 6.2 million dollars. What? That is art? I asked you. I know, if I told you about that, I know I told you about the piece of invisible sculpture. If we've gotten to a point where we describe art where the elements and principles and anything can be art, we have now gotten to the point where art is, the bigger question is, is it great art? Not just, is it art? Did I show you my art? Did I give you an exam? The art? Or I put my stacked all my stuff up? And I said, Is this art? The answer is... Yes. Yeah. Because we can describe it in terms of elements and principles. Is it great art? It is not real. It is not real, 'cause I am a person. Okay, about my husband, who is code one. Mm hmm. Perception of art is dependent upon how you physically see. And it's very, it's gonna be unique to you. Let me give you this example, because the animal will not be happy. My ex husband, there's only one. My ex husband. When we got married to 19. I don't know why I thought that was a good idea, but I did. He had better than 2020 mission. He had 2019 vision. I say, I say, I say. That man could see a spot on a gnat's ass from 20 paces. That man could see. I, on the other hand, cannot get my vision to 2020, even with corrective lenses. With corrective lenses, the best I get is 2060. That's the best I get. I know. That's the face I make all the time. She made a face like this, ugh, unknown, trust. Because if I take off my glasses, y'all are just blobs of blur, I mean literal, just blobs. Can't see. Can't see it all. However, His mother and I would spend money and time, and we would get the house ready for Christmas, and it would leave so pretty, and he would come in, and he'd go, why do y'all always hang all this dead stuff up for Christmas? Dad? We just, we just purchased this. What do you mean, Dad? Come to find out. No, man, I thought he was just being a jerk. Come to find out. I'm still a jerk. But... He's red, green, color block. So that when you put red on top of green, it turns brown or tope to him. He has no color differentiation. He can tell green apart from red, but again, the minute you put one on top of the other, it turns brown or toe for him. I, on the other hand, have more than normal color cones, I have since discovered. Now, when I take off my glasses, you all are blobs, but those colors are still coming in so bright. I can in fact, they vibrate. The colors and what is happening, and depending on what they're up against, they vibrate. That purple and yellow because they vibrate to me. So, we're gonna look at the same piece of art, and we're gonna have totally different opinions about what we're seeing, because I can't see detail, but I can see the colors. Colors sometimes do funky things for that man, but he can see all the details. Who's right? Well, I want you to say I'm right. But the reality is we're both correct. So when I show y'all pieces of art, and this is what's gonna start happening from today on, I'll lecture a little bit about the art, and I really want you to start connecting with the art, because it's a visual voice. Art does not occur until you connect with that piece, it doesn't, it's just not happening. Y'all are gonna have different opinions about what we're seeing, and that is awesome. One opinion is absolutely correct as the other. That all of what you're saying can live in the same space and still be true. Does that make sense? That's why I can't really grade your opinion, but I can grade whether you've given me five sentences. Have you given me words that are underlined? Have you, you know, all of that stuff? I can grade that stuff. But your opinion I can't create. I can only just marvel at it and go, what a clever mix. Okay. Definition of art, art is. Media is whatever it took to create the art. That's the kind of thing that would be on the test, if it's on the test. Media, whatever it took to create the art. I went to the museum about a month ago, and they had this beautiful image. It's a landscape. And it's all made out of ballerina shoes. New, used, tiny, medium, large, one over cent ballerina shoes. The media, ballerina shoes. I've seen where the media was dust. I've seen where the media was sand from a river. Sand from the Sabine. Anything can be media. It's whatever it takes to create the art. The pictorial plane, it's whatever the art is sitting upon. Whatever the art is sitting upon. It can be a canvas. It could be the back of your textbook. I could take you all out and we could go to a, um, Cave to go see cave art and the pictorial plane would be what? Not your question. We went into the cave to see cave art, the pictorial plane would be. Cable. That's exactly right. Victorial planes, whatever. whatever the art is sitting upon. Okay. We good? Yeah. Alright. Okay. What would you call this line around the apple? I call it an outline. And right here, got another little kind of a line. Defining it. What kind of line here? Not really a defined line, right? Sort of. Yeah. Have I told you the first thing that you need to say when you look at a piece of art? Where is the light? What is it like? Where is the light source? What is the light source? See, this is where that whole value sheet starts to come in that I had you do? My alphabet? Where is the life source? I got a new cave, by the way. Do y'all notice that? Yeah, I like her. Come on, name this one. Yeah, light sources coming from this over here. I love it when people tell me this. Yeah, that's correct. Why are people saying it's over here? Why am I being told it's right over there? Is the shadows? Because why? The shadow or the shadow? Okay, because the shadow's very heavy here. This is the lightest of the light. That's where the light's in it. There's the darkest of the dark. What do you think the light source is? We discovered, where is it, and what is it? It's what? I'm trying to tell, could be a spotlight. It could be anything. She says it's hard to tell, absolutely. It could be a window. It could be the sun. It could be a flashlight. You know how I those flashlights. It could be your the light from your telephone. whatever. Y'all still call those phones even though they do computer stuff. Oh my God, your mobile. I just try to keep up with the stuff, people say. So the word we use in my house. You sort stuff. All right. So here, there's not a defined line. It's created by using tonality. And I would say that that is, if I were to describe that apple, I'd say that it has, it's gotten a lot of tonality to it, what is tone? Correct. Great. Has a lot of gray, is what I would say. Okay. We're gonna spend a few minutes on this piece of art, probably about 15 minutes on this piece of art, maybe even 20. We're gonna go in depth. Here's what's gonna start happening. All the things that we're gonna talk about and say, it's gonna take 15 minutes. You're gonna start to be able to do it in a minute. We're gonna get there and you're gonna be able to snap, snap, snap. Because all these things I'm talking about, You're gonna start to make a little list. Is it this, isn't that? Is it this? Is it not that? Because you can describe art for what it is not. Correct? Have we done the exercise with the mountains? Where you close your eyes. Okay. So you understand what I'm saying? We did the mountain exercise, where I said, Oh, it's a mountain, and there's trees, and there's mostly cows up, but it's all achromatic. And so, you can just, it's not color, it is achromatic. You can describe something for what it's not, right? So you've got all this checklist of things that you can say and do. All right? First of all, uh, where is the light source? Here's what Casey and Maddie are saying. That is correct. It is over there. It's over here. Here's the light source. Why are we saying that's the light source? This is the lightest for you. Yeah, it's the lightness of the light, right here on the bedsheet. That's exactly correct. And it's the darkest of the dark. This is a true example of coral score. This is a baroque piece of art. Baroque came after Renaissance. This is the kind, I love to see that Kamisha and Briana are beautifully writing this down, Matty, because that is correct. You need to know Baroque. And by the way, the Baroque, I can spell it. I'm just showing off B A R 0 Q U E. Bro. Thank you, Savannah, for saying I was. Broke. The Baroque period came after the Renaissance. The Renaissance stands for renewal. They had just found all the writings of the Greeks, and they found how to create art, making it lifelike, and they understood that their art lasted a thousand years. Do you have a question? Yeah, you spell that again? Baroque? Mm hmm. You ask B A R O Q U E. B- A- R-O- G U E guy. The Renaissance, I said, oh, our art can last a 1000 years. We want everybody to think we are awesome. So it was 2.0 time. They were going to try to make everybody little prettier. They're going to make their streets look a little better. Everything was gonna be gorgeous all the time. After 200 years of that, 3050. The artists were tired of the perfection of, they wanted life a little prettier. So the Baroque is about the drama. It's the height of the draw. It's that point in the story where you're like, you have popcorn to forget to eat it because you're like, oh, what's going to happen next? That's the baroque. It's the hype. This piece of art is by, uh, one of the first known female artist, her name is, and please don't ask me to spell it, and then inhabitant. Her name is Artemisia Jeneleski. Now, you know why I don't just, Just do the best you can. If anybody in class at the end of the class, if you're interested in Artemisia Generalesky being your personal PowerPoint artist, let me know. I have one class they're not interested in one class somebody was. Gentle, gentle. You know, we have art happening 50,000 years ago. And we go all into the 1500, 1600s, actually. There are no names, female artists. Anybody like saying, huh, to that? Tens of thousands of years. The answer is, huh? The first female known female artists come in the late 1500s and the 1600s? That is astounding. Are you kidding me? Why? Man, I hate to say, man, fire people. 'Cause men said women are too stupid to pay. by the way. That was a real thing. Women were much better used, being pregnant, having babies in the kitchen, doing the food, cleaning up. That was what women needed to do. Women did not need to be artists. It's the male. How did these female, there are female artists. They finally come out, like Mary Cassette. I thought I would have done this office. No, we talked about this right. Okay. Because Mary gets that. Okay, who's responsible for female artists becoming a female artist, the earliest. Daddy! That's right. I'm glad we gave this little time together. America sack. I mean, Eric, listen, she said that she's not around for another year in years. RB, she Jineleski. I am not gonna tell you about her life as a teenager. It is fascinating. I'm gonna wait and see if anybody in this class picks up Mary Cassette, because you will want to investigating that. You want that to be part of what you have to say about her, 'cause she, she was only about four or 500 years ahead of her time. I don't know how to say this. She's badass. That's all there is to it. Today and time, when she shouldn't have been able to do what she did, and she did. The story you're looking at comes from the apocryphal. Please don't ask me to spell it. I cannot. Have I talked about the apocalypse? The Gutenberg printing press was created, the first thing the Gutenberg printing press ever printed off was the Bible. The problem was, they brought them the Bible, and it was about this thick, and they said, uh, no, it's not gonna be possible. You're going to have to edit. You're going to pull some of those chapters out. This is not going to work. Okay, there was a committee. Committee says it needs to be like this, this, this here, the parameters. If, uh, if, uh, if the book doesn't meet these parameters, we're pulling it out. So they did. The Bible, if you are Protestant, and you have a Bible at home or if your mama has Bible or your grandmama, and you are Protestant. And if you're Protestant, you know what that means. This is the Bible you have. You have the same Bible as set forth from the Google word, printing press, you have that version of the model. If you are Catholic, especially if you are Greek Orthodox Catholic. It is possible that you have a Bible that had these books put back in because there were a group of folks who said, this is ancient text that has managed to survive, we want it put back in. They put it back in. So what the books of the Bible that they put back in are called the apocrypha, or a deuteronical text. One of the stories in the apocrypha is called Judith. This is a this is a the hype of the moment in the story about June. It is a ripping good tale. How the story of Judith has not become a Hollywood blockbuster or a movie of the week for lifetime. I do not know. In fact, Artemisia Janeleski's life. Far as I'm concerned, should have been put in there. Judith has come to save her people. This is general pulferness. He works for the Emperor Nebuchadnezzar. You see what I'm saying? words that I can't spell. You know, you have to gone on to those. I cannot spell one of them words. They're the oldest perspective known to man is called foreshortening. It's a way of C. The artist wants you to see something in a certain way, they have different kinds of perspectives they can give you. The oldest perspective is called for shortening. The perspective, foreshortening. Uh, it's in, uh, it's up on those paywalls. That's how old foreshortening is, it's 50,000 years old, that perspective. Now, I'm gonna give you the, uh, definition of what would be on the test, and then I'm gonna give you an example, okay? Here's the definition that would be on the test. That which is close is big. That which is far, is small. I said that wrong. That, which is close, is big, that, which is small, is far away. That's what I meant to say. That, which is close, is big. That, which is small, is far away. Really quite, quite common sense, but here we go. Sometimes common sense is not so common. That which is close is big. That which is small is far away. Okay. Here's a story. We're gonna tell a fable. You ready?
