Subject Study
This horse and big cat. This is where you are going to do our subject study, of the cat, dog, here is a varied degree of information here that you need to have a look at. It is a good idea that you come back here, when you feel that you are needing inspiration, there is much to learn in the history of our literature, quotes, stories. To videos, and the interpreting of cartoons, pictures and facts about these pets we are going to create our art from...... The more we learn about these wonderful creatures, the more we will learn about their abilities to inspire us. The subject is impertinent to learn, not only when it comes to putting paint brush to canvas, or pen to paper. We need to learn our subjects, get inside their minds, try to imagine their world and how we want to interpret them in our art. "Painting is a language which cannot be replaced by another language. I don’t know what to say about what I paint, really".-Balthus
This study of subject matter is the building blocks to art. We must first learn our subject. It is no good to just say.... "well I want to paint a dog." Were are you going to start? the subject matter all the time. The best artists learn to feel their work, in a way that they get in touch with their subjects. The way they move, stand, to name a few, and only then will you put them on canvas, paper or sculpt them from clay or wax.
Ok, lets have a look at Literature and Poetry. Literary is important, absorb what you read. Its an insight how other people have looked upon these pets.
These studies have been a time consuming achievement of dedicated people and scientists, observers out there that have spend many an hour, documenting the most wonderful achievements that the animals have to offer.
Lets have a look at these pets History as well, I have also put in some the wolf, as well, being a dog, they have had great importance to art. he Centaur and other creatures to do with the horse from mythology. There is also how we, as humans have interacted with growing up with animals. Wild Children is also a different insight into our understanding from an animals influence upon us.
Learning about your subject matters history is also very important.
Take your time in having a look at al these subjects. I want you to gain understanding of your subjects. You will go away all the richer, when you are ready to begin your art.
