This is wonderfully educational. As someone who loves but does not understand art, I learned more in six minutes about looking at art than I have in the last six months! Thank you!
Recently I've been starting to learn to observe more, both IRL and artwork In the past, I've always struggled with looking at all kinds of but recently this year or long before I think I realised the issue is that I actually never stopped and truly observed what I'm looking at. And low n behold, I was right, and I know find myself smiling when I actually observe the things I love and I learnt to appreciate the artwork
@@elleonallera08 oh, I didn't mean any offense, and how I came out may have been a little harsh, but giving a painting with a bunch of people in shadows 5 minutes of dissecting seemed really useless.
@@superspicygamer860 it's not useless.. actually, I draw/paint, I can learn by looking to some other Artists' works. Are u an artist? (No offense - and, I'm a woman)
@@elleonallera08 oops, my bad about the bro thing.... I'm not an artist, but I have been learning to draw a little. maybe I just think it's useless because I don't have a strong interest in art.IDK. Again, I meant no offense.
Since little, I've always been the one that would take so long to look at the paintings in an art museum that my family would get mad at me for being "so slow", well now I know that I was and am a true artist
Me too I would point out the small details in the painting such as the strokes and the combination of color and the story behind it. Compare it to the artist previous painting. Everyone else would leave me behind or telling me “it’s just a painting of this or that they wanted to painted this just because they had an image in there head” when all actuality that’s not the case. I later on realized how much I appreciate art and it’s beauty not just imagery
Very important indeed to take the time and look at an artwork as open and nonjudgmental as possible to get a more deep experience. Thank you very much for the sharing. I have once written a scientific article of how to work with a group of students and experience analysis of an artwork - choosing first something that you are attracted to and then somthing that you dislike - and see what a longer and deeper open looking does to your experience and understanding of the art work - and then come together and share the different experiences with each other
This is my view as an Art Collector, How to Look at an Artwork. there are many factors one can or should consider when viewing art. Intention and motivation are key. Is it for Entertainment, Study, Purchase, Decorate an office or home, As a gift to someone, Investment, Pre-action , Research, Etc.... It is also important to one degree or another depending on your Intention and motivation to be cognizant of your state of mind and tone level: Happy, Sad Ect... Also, note the environment for which the art is set or on display. Tho you may not be out to Purchase art but to just enjoy I recommend reading The Art of Buying Art By Alan Bamberger.
Hello , I've been wondering about exactly what you explained on that painting for years and can't get anyone to notice that or said something about it. So am so much glad you did. So now HOW CAN I PAINT LIKE THAT?
The real reason why I over looked this art not the red red scArfet but A feeling of my chilhood and a memories of my grandparents holding me in our farm in holidays ❤🕊
I'm more interested in what the characters are thinking/saying and why did the artist choose to paint this scene? Why these characters? I've never really bothered about technique. Why do particular paintings catch my eye and make me take a seat and look at them for ages? Same with photographv, I think in some paintings /photographs there is such a deep sense of awe which brings me out of myself yet simultaneously I'm dsappearing into myself. Such pleasure. McIntyre.
The painting is about light and shadow. That's why the man, the woman and the baby have no details. They are of secondary importance. But look at the bright sunshine on the street and how it contrasts with the shadow.
I had a passion of drawing as a kid but never thought of studying artworks and to have an analysis about those works. But now I'm preparing BFA entrance exam and trying to analysing artworks or paintings and somehow I've come across this video which just gave me insights about analyse artworks. Thnks.
Came here after the lesson of looking ted talk. While i'm still skeptical of the claims, the video motivated me to look at art works. This is so helpful
Great video. Sometimes, when I look at a piece long enough, something clicks that I can't really explain. The AGO in Toronto has a statue of Christ that made me feel that way. I looked at Starry Night a thousand times without feeling anything, but then, out of nowhere, I was overcome with emotion on the 1001st time. I love the way certain pieces make me feel, even though I can't describe it.
Does anybody know the names of the paintings next to the Léon Pourteau one? They are gorgeous, especially the one with flowers. By the way, thank you for the video, it's so encouraging to someone who's just getting into art.
Sorry for replying comment after two years. I just want to argue that the man, woman, and the baby doesn't hit by any light. Just to indicate that the shadow wasn't theirs.
The people who only look for 5 seconds are non artists or they simply are not visually attracted to the particular work.If you like something, its really unexplainable.You can dissect art to learn about composition, color, form, etc.,if you're an art student.You can learn about what works and what doesn't Its interesting, but its really the overall piece that attracts or repels.This is very interesting though, for people who might not be educated about art.
U think and judge with the eyes of an expert a common person , watch and goes , unless is really interested by the subject , or is a professional or art amateur like me ! I watch your video because of that painting of the french painter his technique cought my eye
And apparently u forgot to say that he was a pionneer of pointillisme a tendency that rose his pic with Seurat the small strokes of color are used because of the idea ( of a sort of pixellization ) to catch study the light
Art is not only about "feeling". It is ALSO about understanding. Some people like to understand. The speaker is not presenting it in an academic way. She doesn't give a name or a date before the 5th minute or so. She is presenting it as you could see it if you looked. Great education of the eye. This is visual literacy, and it has as much validity as language literacy. If you prefer not to understand what you see and just "feel" it, you will have a limited vision of art and turn you back to the artist's intent, which I can assure you, has nothing to do with you and your feelings.
I know this might be a little late but Neo 0101 is totally right. You don't need to dissect a painting with some people in some shadows and find the 'intent of the painting. That is called over analysis and, depending on the situation, can get you fired from a job. This painting clearly had no intent of giving you a deeper meaning and can have the same attention as the rest of them.

I like the encouragement of this...to take the time to observe...I'll be taking more notice of what I'm actually seeing...
This was amazing and completely changed my view on everything around me.
I showed this video to my Academic Team, and they absolutely loved it! Thank you for contributing this video.

I'm really happy that I'm doing the right way how to look at a painting. I like visiting museums, and I love looking at artworks, especially painting.

An excellent video to understand the emotions behind the artwork.
This just makes me think of the scene from Ferris Bueller's Day Off where Cameron just stares at the painting.
The painting is about light and shadow. That's why the man, the woman and the baby have no details. They are of secondary importance. But look at the bright sunshine on the street and how it contrasts with the shadow.
I loved when the camera approached to the shade of painting
Wow .Thank you so much for gifting me this amazing experience of enjoying a painting for the first time...

Thank you for influence in my thoughts
If only I wasn’t colorblind

Great video. It gave a guide about how to appreciate an artwork. I liked the video and subscribed to the channel.
Thank you very much ma'am
My Confusion about the paintings is now cleared all thanks to you ma'am☺️
Imagine walking down the cereal aisle.....with this woman.
Does anybody know the names of the paintings next to the Léon Pourteau one? They are gorgeous, especially the one with flowers. By the way, thank you for the video, it's so encouraging to someone who's just getting into art.
The one with flowers name is "Flower garden" by Louis Ritman

Also I read the title as, how to look like an artwork
Thank you that was engaging and educative....
2:36 I think it's not a tower of a cathedral it's maybe there's shadows the woman ,the man and the baby
Sorry for replying comment after two years. I just want to argue that the man, woman, and the baby doesn't hit by any light. Just to indicate that the shadow wasn't theirs.
A beautiful museum indeed
Hol up hol up whats the crazy as monet style garden one on the left!?

Till my Twin Georg taught me how to look at Art. I am grateful to him.
as they said in the movie " you could fuck up a cup of coffee '
Thanks for teaching 😘
Nice, life is like a box of chocolates....
Now onwards , looking at painting will be all different!
I always look for a hair of a brush in old paintings

You deserve love for this

Art teaches you how to look and observe what you are looking at.

Pls am am really waiting for your response, it means a lot to me

How academics needlessly dissect a painting that is perfectly happy projecting a feeling, and not blah blah blah ad nauseam.

@@108Romato the best paintings are the ones everyone can appreciate
Pointillism
You are talking butt sense. The painting has to catch the viewer's eye, not the other way around.
someone in the comments who isn't an art maniac. Thank you good sir.
If you've ever wanted to do this in a million years go to a doctor. Please go to a doctor right now. (Edit) That's a joke, by the way.
