Experimentation
300-500 words
The experimental quality of art is more

likely to be understood as a matter

of degree of innovation.

Minimum 5 photos

Did you show your experimental stages?

Did you describe and discuss your

experimentation?

What does it mean to Experiment?

One could say experiment guides us through stages of creative

work. Here’s an example:

Discovery — “This thing, what does it do? What

can I make with it? This stick, this pen, this

hammer?”

Exploration — “Now I’ve used this hammer for

years making chairs, what else can I make with it?”

Expansion — “Now I’ve made tables, cabinets,

chairs of course, and a dog house. What if I were to

do variations on these, change things up from how

they’ve been done before?”

Manifestation -- “I’ve always had this vision, hard

to describe because its never been seen- but I’ll do my

best to build it, and then I’ll find out if I was right

about it.”

Transition — “I know a lot about hammers and

nails but not much about brushes and canvases,

what would emerge if I tested these things out?”

Revelation -- “What would happen if I were to set

out with no course at all, just like in the very

beginning, and see if I can stumble on something

neither I nor anyone else could have anticipated? I

will meander, I will see what falls out in the process,

I will make myself an open gate with no intention for

a while.”

Critique

Comparing
(Similarities)
Contrasting
(Differences)
It is always best to start with smaller
comparisons between the two works of
art such as the medium of the piece. Then
the comparison can include attention to
detail so use of color, subject matter, or
iconography. Do the same for contrasting
the two pieces – start small.
Describe how the work is organized as a
complete composition:

Tips on what to compare and Contrast

• How is the work constructed or planned
(i.e., acts, movements, lines)?
• Identify some of the similarities
throughout the work (i.e., repetition of lines,
two songs in each act).
• Identify some of the points of emphasis in
the work (i.e., specific scene, figure,
movement).
• If the work has subjects or characters,
what are the relationships between or
among them?
• Analysis: A discussion of formal elements
and principles. Provide information about
how the artist presents subject matter.
Tell of the artwork's composition,
arrangement, and visual construction.
• Elements: Line, shape, light and value,
color, texture, mass, space, volume.
• Principles: Scale, proportion, unity,
rhythm, balance, directional force, emphasis
or subordination.
