- What are some "moves" you see in these videos?
-Bob Ross breathes in heavily and then speaks, repeats phrase “nice sharp edge,” says things that can make us feel like drawing trees is not hard at all. He describes the brush sizes and how much paint people should put on the brush.
- How do these artists describe what they’re doing? What do the artists refer to while they describe their work? What do they talk about? What do they direct our attention towards?
-They describe painting as if even children can do the same. Bob Ross says things like “happy little trees,” “he lives in this tree,” and etc. He uses adjectives so children/young adults can be interested in drawing.
- How would you characterize each artist's style, and what impact does their style have on you (a viewer/audience member)? How have these artists chosen to portray their subject matter?
-The styles vary. Bob Ross is targeting children who likes to draw and disney character painters are targeting adults by explaining drawing steps in much detail.
I like the way you answered these, but I think Bob Ross targets adults not children. I could see his videos being played for like 60 year olds in a home. The Disney artist would probably be targeting companies that want to find a cartoon artist. I don't see kids wanting to watch either of these videos.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Bob Ross trying to make painting as simple as possible. However, I feel like children weren't his only audience. He was very soothing but I don't think children could necessarily achieve what he was able to achieve. It was very weird to see that the Disney video was more for adults than Bob Ross was. The breathing heavily thing was something I did not notice at first... ew!
ReplyDeleteHannah,
ReplyDeleteWhat about the Disney artists? What do they do? What are their moves?
(Your line about him breathing heavily made me laugh.)
