1. Intro
At past, I went to museum and tried to see all the master.
Last weekend, I tried a new method
- Take pen and notebook
- Only appreciate ONE piece of work at one gallery
- Reflect why I like or dislike that work
- Try to mimic that work on paper
2. What I learned in SFMOMA
What I like:
- Harmony and Connectivity
- Patterns with Variations
- Dynamic Elements
- Aesthetic Preference: circular shape, symmetry, well-balanced but vibrant colors
- Interactivity and Clarity
3. What I learned in De Young
- Perspective matters: if you stay too close, can’t see the whole picture
- Attraction to shiny footwear
- Impact of simple geometry: from Africa arts, simple geometric design evoke a strong of wild feel
- Use of color and contrast, could make elements stand out
- Oil painting: smooth texture combined with richness of detail
