Art Blog Post 2

 Art Blog Post 2 

So in Art, we have been working on an artist called Tracey Tawhaio and we have to do blog posts about her or about some of the artwork she has done. So this blog post is about real space and how she uses it in her artwork. Realspace is three-dimensional that has space in a work of art that refers to a feeling of depth or three dimensions. it can also refer to the artist's use of the area within the picture plane. the area around the primary objects in a work of art is known as negative space, and I noticed that there is a lot of space that has not been used so that means that is has been left over. Tracey Tawhaio uses space in all of her work by letting it be in the right spot because how I related my work I used a lot of space for my artwork also because it makes it a lot easier to use space in all of your own work. Using space in art, Space gives the viewer a reference for interpreting an artwork. For instance, you may draw one object larger than another to imply that it is closer to the viewer. Likewise, a piece of environmental art may be installed in a way that leads the viewer through space. She categorizes her work in a way that makes sense to what she is painting the objects she uses are the Maori designs the reason why she does the is that she is Maori and she also has Maori culture in her. Tracey Tawhiao is a multi-disciplined contemporary artist who has studied and worked in a variety of fields. She is a writer, performance poet, filmmaker, qualified lawyer, and also a leading Maori artist.

The space we see in this particular artwork and is about the gold wreath, greek is unreal because as you can see there is a lot of space left out in the middle then you look to the sides and they have been joined together. but there is are organic shapes and forms in this particular artwork and I noticed the color when I first look at this piece of artwork the gold color is amazing. the gold makes me think of the gold $1 and $2 coming when they come out clean and not dirty. I love the color gold for that particular artwork it makes it stand out and more the plain and simple colors. I can describe the color well and the artwork making it stand out and making it spread out is so that it looks real and not just a simple piece of artwork.

                                         Here is a slide of artworks that we have been using.

  1. Hi Tamara,
    A good definition of positive and negative space. Make sure you note where you are getting your information. I think this came from the Getty link? Next step is to consider how it relates to a Tawhiao work.

  2. Hi. I can read that you are discussing a work by Taahiao. You mention the space and colour but need to identify what your see in the work and which work you are discussing either here or in your set of slides. Thanks
