... Seems I'm always on here for assigment help >> I just posted for help on a LS assign a week ago and now I'm here again >>;;

Ok, anywho, need some guidance please ^^;

Currently doing a case study on the 'canvas as a window'. Studying three artists -
1. Who uses the 'canvas as a window'
2. Who ignores the 'canvas as a window'
3. Who has 'used, but deliberately broken or distorted the canvas as a window'

... All western art


..... Nya, kinda overwhelming atm (I got a AH and Eng assign atm as well v_v Anywho, just wondering, anyone got any suggestions? ^^

Thankies in advanced as always ^^

the statement is quite ambiguous but i guess the canvas as a window refers to realism - artists who create art that in someway imitates the life we visually experience, such as the Impressionists? those who reject the canvas as a window would be those who paint in abstract and recreate the subconcious, such as the Abstract Expressionists? the third obviously refers to post-modernism... i would suggest Moryimura for that...

anyway, what has your teacher told you? have u been given any information to use?

Yeah, it's a very strange question

My teacher told us that of course the first is like an artist painting a scene, something you could pretty much see out of a window or something

The second is of ignoring the idea of a window is kinda like not paiting on a canvas in a rectanglur shape at all, you don't picture the idea of seeing a window (Sorry, for the bad desc. on that one, kinda confused myself XD)

And the third is pretty much the canvas distorted, like for eg. if the artist work is 'spilling' over onto different canvas, etc, so the window idea is still framing the work, but it's being denconstructed into something else
She gave us some example, like Peter Corlett, 'Rebirth' or something...

... Ah, can you tell I'm confused? XD lol
