In the introduction to Fine Art we began to look a metaphors and the potential behind them to communicate ideas.
We looked at a Pirelli tyres advertisement and the metaphor is that despite the guy obviously being an athlete he is wearing heels which are completely the wrong shoes to run in therefore he has the power, but there is no control.
3s'
- Semantics
- Sensations
- Structure
These are the things you need to consider when analyzing metaphors behind art work.
In groups we used the 3s' to work out metaphors with artists work. We looked at a piece called 'ghost' by Rachel Whiteread, on first glace I thought it was a bit dull until we began to think harder at the meaning. We came up with the feeling of being on the outside looking in and that the mould of the room is something you can't see buts always there.
Vanitas - A still life in which the object refers to death
Using music we looked at lyrics to find metaphors.
Love the way you lie - Eminem feat. Rihanna
'Maybe thats what happens when a tornado meets a volcano, all I know if that I love you too much to walk away though'
Waterfalls - TLC
'Don't go chasing waterfalls please stick to the rivers and the lakes that your used too'
Stop Crying your heart out - Oasis
'Your destiny may keep you warm'
Born to Die - Lana del Rey
'Lost but now I am found, I can see but once I was blind'
We then chose one idea and experimented by putting ideas together on paper.
