Describe, Analyse, Interpretation, Judgment


Miwa Matreyek created the animation called ‘Glorious Visions’ in the year 2010. 

Describe:
  • In this video I could see a lot of the creators hands and her body, buildings, foods and lights.
  • There were forests, skyscrapers, apples, eggs, a cake, candles, fruits, plates and oceans.
  • The first thing I notice when I watch the animation is the creators hands doing things that would not be able to do easily.
  • At first the colours are dark but brighten up to warm colours, very colourful and welcoming.
  • The shapes that I see are soft and delicate, they flow really well with the concept and help describe how the video will proceed onto.
  • The overall visual effect and mood of this work is slow and quiet, it intrigues us as viewers the go on and keep watching. The mood could be considered as depressing but to others as a way of showing re-creation.

Analyse:
  • The artist organised the elements of the video as show different types of styles but somehow they fit together to get through to audience the artists concepts.
  • The colour used in this work shows the emotion of the video and how the artist feels about problems she feels are major in our life today.
  • The light in this work was used to the advantage of showing the emotion of the video and how it showed the types of places and good or bad.
  • The overall visual effect or mood of the work had been achieved by the use of elements or art and principals was very well done to fit the video and concept of it.

Interpretation 
  • The artist was definitely making a statement in this work, I feel she was trying to to get across that we are destroying what we have and we are changing what we have grown up with to different thing that we believe are better but aren’t necessary better.
  • This means to me that we need to realise what we are doing and try to fix it.
  • When I look at this animation I feel some regret and sadness. 

Judgment:
  • I do this this work has an underlying value or worth depending on who’s watching, to me it does because the artist is really trying to get an opinion across.
  • I don’t feel that the subject matter is not unappealing, unimaginative or repulsive but it could to others.
  • I don’t feel that the work falls somewhere in-between, either you like and agree with it or you don’t like it and disagree with it.
