Week 2 Discussion 1
Initial Post Instructions
Select any work of art from one of the chapters we have read so far (Ch. 1-4) and write a response that analyzes the art through the lens of a descriptive critic, an interpretive critic, and
an evaluative critic. What different things would these critics have to say? Use the following guidelines:
•Descriptive Critic: Address at least 3 different elements of art and/or principles of design.
•Interpretive Critic: This will require research so that you can understand the subject, meaning, and intent of the work.
•Evaluative Critic: Use the standards of perfection, insight, and inexhaustibility (as
described in the text).
I have chosen one of my favorite pieces of art that I actually have a copy of hanging in my basement. Under the Wave off Kanagawa (Kanagawa oki nami ura), also known as The Great Wave, was created by Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai between 1830-1832 as a part of a series of prints titled Thirty-six views of Mount Fuji . The series was made up of multiple prints using Mount Fuji as the protagonist in each scene either from afar or up close, in various weather conditions, and from all types of directions (The Art Institute of Chicago, 2019). In The Great Wave print, Mount Fuji is viewed from a distance under the crest of a giant wave that is about to embark upon three fishing boats.
Descriptive Critic:
When looking it the famous print, it is clear to see that there are many different elements of art and principles of design present. Proportion, perspective, lines, texture, emphasis, colors and more are used together to form this unique and breathtaking image. The most prevalent part of this image is the use of proportion and perspective use of the wave as in relation to Mount Fuji. The mountain is made tiny in the use of perspective which makes the proportion of the wave almost appear as if the mountain is going to be swallowed up by the wave (Harris, 2015). This large proportion of the wave along with the curvaceous lines at the top of the wave provide emphasis onto the center of the image where Mount Fuji is placed. The sharp lines provide texture to the roughness of the waters and amplify the danger of the waves. The use of color seems minimal with no use of reds or aggressive colors but the dominance of cool colors of dark
blues creating a dark theme with the stark contrast of white at the tips of the wave diverting your
eyes towards the center of the image (Gaber, 2017). Overall, the use of these elements and principles of art create an image symbolizing the strong power of nature along with the beauty and unpredictability of it.
Interpretive critic:
Katsushika Hokusai was a man that had made many pieces of art in his lifetime. By the time he made The Great Wave, he was already over 70-years-old at the time. Much of his life was spent within the Japanese borders overlooking Mount Fuji. There have been many interpretations as to the symbolism behind the iconic print, but I find that combining the current situation of Japan during the prints and the symbolism of immortality can make some sense into
