Title of work: ( N/A ) (Comissioned Piece)
Location of work: Twitter, Social Media
Description: In this illustration a woman views a long parchment of paper in a room
surrounded by trinketry. She is illustrated in a painterly style like the
19th century aesthetic and dark fantasy. The woman wears a long dress
that’s unlike modern wear and seems to be relaxed in this place,
perhaps its due to what she is reading or that she feels comfortable in
this room.
Interpretation: This illustration focuses to me on a narrative storytelling of a character
we don’t know. Seeing as this was a commission, I can only presume that
this is a character from the commissioner of their own design, placed
into the world that they exist in for perhaps a book or some kind of
narrative storytelling. The woman judging by her clothes seems
sophisticated and important in society due to the long dress fabrics with
am embellished cloak, The scroll she is looking over has a seal of some
kind stamped into it, highlighting it’s importance.
Use in Teaching (Lesson For a lesson, I would show an older class of students this piece and
Idea and medium) similar pieces from the artist. I would then task them to create their
own version of this piece, but make it feel customed to them in this
world. To design and place themselves in a fantasy world in a singular
room and create a space that they would fit into. For example, a student
believes they would do well as a blacksmith, their room would contain
objects relating to their interests in this fantasy setting and a visual
creation of themselves as a character fitting into it. This would be
created through several sketches thumbnailed and then pushed forward
with acrylic paint to capture a similar aesthetic feel to the initial artist’s
creation.
3-5 Guiding Questions: Where do you think we are inside this illustration? Who do you think
this woman is? What objects populate this environment that we
recognize? What colors do we see primarily used in this illustration?
Why do you think those colors are the most popular, what could they
mean?
