ASSIGNMENT 6 (10 POINTS)

ANSWER BRIEFLY BUT SUBSTANTIALLY THE FOLLOWING:
1. Differentiate between artists’ and artisans’ approach/technique toward a
particular medium. Cite examples.

All fine artists first learn to sketch, and begin with a pencil and sketchpad to
work with an idea on paper. Artists transfer their visions to canvases or other medium,
and this may mean working in oil, water colour or pastels. For Example, Sculptors
take their sketches and create 3D products from clay, marble or other material.
Illustrators might work for a publishing or animation company, or create original
comic books. All artists' work aims to create an overall reaction from a viewer. The
Job responsibilities of an Artist include: Developing ideas for a canvas or product,
Selecting a medium for a final work, including texture, size, or area, Collecting work
for a portfolio, Applying for grants for financial support.
However, Artisans are craftsmen who make practical artistic products, such as
earrings, urns, stained glass and other accessories. Artisans gain their knowledge by
studying under master craftsmen and then practicing with continued study. Artisans
work to create something new, original, and at times, provocative. They spend a good
portion of their time selling and promoting their items in various marketplaces. For
the example of Job responsibilities of an Artisan include: Using and mixing mediums
 like paint, metal, glass, or fabric, Shaping, gluing, sewing, testing and producing
products, Displaying work at various sites including auctions, craft shows or online
markets and Estimating costs and material needs.

2. Understand that an artisans’ work is an end in itself and the artists’ work is a means
to an end. What does it mean?

An artisan is a skilled worker who usually makes things by hand. The skill they employ is

learned over a long period of time, often years, and it is the acquisition and application of this

skill that is described as „„an end in itself‟. The artist works to finish an art such as painting,

sculptures and etc. The technique(s) employed in this process is/are a means to an end.

THE STARRY NIGHT

(2D Painting)
By Vincent Van Gogh

Many believe Starry Night was painted from the view Gogh had from his window in
Arles asylum. Unlike many other artists who painted realistic landscapes and portraits, Van
Gogh used exaggerated and expressive brushstrokes to visualize his emotions and reveal
personal impressions of the subject being painted. In Starry Night, the emotions of isolation
and insanity underlie which relates to how he was a struggling artist with unappreciated
artwork. The night sky of Starry Night is brimming with whirling clouds, shining stars and a
bright moon. The swirling brushstrokes guide the viewer‟s eye around the painting with
spacing between the stars creating a dot-to-dot effect. The village is peaceful in comparison
to the dramatic night sky. The church steeple dominates the village and symbolizes unity in
the town and gives and impression of isolation. The first interpretation creates a religious
presence to the painting. Van Gogh was religious with a religious uncle who was a
theologian. Starry night conveys strong feelings of hope through the bright lights of the stars
shining down over the dark landscape and night.
 In 1888, Van Gogh wrote a personal letter which described; “a great starlit vault of
heaven… one can only call God”. Starry night depicts moon, stars and a sky surrounded by
large halos of light with a church steeple standing out above a smaller, less detailed buildings
in the town below. This has been related to Genesis 37:9; “Then he dreamed still another
dream and told it to his brothers, saying, “Look, I have dreamed another dream. And this
time, the sun, the moon and the eleven stars bowed down to me”. Gogh painted exactly
eleven stars in Starry Night, perhaps directly referencing the biblical verse accounting Joseph,
a „dreamer‟ and an outcast in the company of his eleven older brothers. Van Gogh may have
related to Joseph as he was an outcast in the art world at the time. In the bible, Joseph was
thrown into a pit, sold into slavery and suffered many years of imprisonment, like Gogh did
in the last years of his life in the Arles Asylum. Also, no matter what Joseph never received
acceptance or respect from his brothers, like how the world-renowned artist never got
recognition from art critics of his day.
