Jenny Saville

The artist does not want to influence her viewers and the message is visual as well as somewhat subliminal. Perhaps the image is meant to be a critique of censorship. The image depicts how absurd the artist think the censorship is. Instead of blurring the body, she has blurred the is face to perhaps create a change in perspective. Society has decided the showing body is unacceptable and maybe she is trying to make a mockery out of this concept. Maybe the artist has blurred her face to “protect her identity” because society feels so. Although the face is not visible, there is a radiance of confidence her. She is not ashamed by her body though other expect her to. She is breaking the norms of society. The other way this image can be interpreted is if we take it as a statement against unrealistic standards of beauty. The women in the artwork isn't what would be considered ideal by the media and magazines. The media have created unrealistic standards of beauty and maybe the image is speaking against it. The woman in the art has flaps when her body is bent. Her body is not what would others think it should be like but still she is there with confidence. The art is a slap to the face of people who want everyone to conform to set standards of

For this essay i have been asked to discuss a contemporary image from the last 30 years from fine art,design media or the everyday. I have decided to choose the Painting titled Plan (1993) by Jenny Saville, a contemporary British painter associated with the Young British Artists, known for her large-scale painted depictions of nude women.

Art is a very important factor in all aspects of life. For many centuries art has been present in structures, cultures, religions, and even in the basic things we see in our daily routines. Art can come in a variety of ways, such as: paintings, drawings, symbols, sculptures, images, and much more. We all interpret and create art and artwork depending on our background experiences and knowledge along with how we can connect with the art piece.

Art is a particular form of social consciousness and of human activities, an important way for people to perceive, discover and improve life: according to the laws of beauty. It is the creation of tangible or intangible products containing great values of thought-aesthetics, cultural character, and emotions. In this sense, there are numerous types of art. Painting is one of the oldest forms of art on earth. From prehistoric times, artists not only used it to communicate, but they also used painting to entertain the viewers. Painting can be transformed, eliminating the tedium, fatigue, and stress in daily tasks to bring the joy. Fun in life or silence for the soul. In other words, painting is a language that communicates an artist 's ideas

Jenny Holzer was born in Ohio in July of 1950. She has attended several schools in the past, such as Duke University, University of Chicago, Ohio University, Rhode Island School of Design as well as being involved in an independent study program in New York. Prior to moving to New York, she became interested in and worked on abstract paintings. When she was accepted to the program in New York, her attention gravitated over to cultural and social theory, which ultimately led to her developing the Truism series that was produced over a period of about two years. Throughout the years, her work has been put in exhibitions all over the world, some of which date back all the way to 1978. She is a conceptual and installation artist mostly known for her LED signs which express a message to the public. She still resides in New York to this day.

artists consider nature as a medium of art. But what is a medium of art? Art is expressed to be

We are constantly surrounded by images of the “perfect” woman. She is tall, thin and beautiful. She rarely looks older than 25, has a flawless body, and her hair and clothes are always perfect. She is not human. She is often shown in pieces – a stomach, a pair of legs, a beautifully made up eye or mouth. Our culture judges women, and women judge themselves, against this standard. It is forgotten that “beauty pornography”, as Wolf says, focuses on underweight models that are usually 15 to 20 years old. Flaws, wrinkles and other problems are airbrushed out of the picture.

Today we will be discussing an art piece by Richard Clayton Payne. This piece was referenced from a popular anime show Shiki (Vampires). Very Representational as it depicts a teenage girl obviously lost in her own beauty. In the actual show she is dribbled with content for outsiders, because she wants to be a model or some sort of celebrity. The overall objective of the piece is to illustrate vanity.

Society has implemented on us the beauty is in the exterior and not in the interior media, fashion even ourselves are guilty of this. This causes a greater expand of the extent of the insecurities young woman obtain. The poem “Barbie Doll” is about a young girl coming of age, and her body is starting to change and her classmates notice. For example, when the speaker states “then in the magic of puberty, a classmate said: / you have a great big nose and fat legs” (5-6), at this moment the young girl who never worried about those aspects of her body had now been the only thing that she could see herself as, as we see when the speaker later states that the character felt that “everyone saw a fat nose on thick legs” (11). The moment that her classmate pointed out her flaws she not only felt that that’s how everyone saw her, but that was how she saw herself. She continued to pretend as though it did not bother as she was “advice to play coy/exercise, diet, smile, and wheedle” (12-14). Until her “good nature wore out/ like a fan belt” (15-16) she no longer had the strength to avoid her flaws till she took her life. Throughout the poem the characters mood is insecure as previously stated all she saw was a “fat nose on thick legs” (11) she was no longer confident in herself when her classmate pointed out her flaws. The representation of the doll is the symbolism the author use to convey the unrealistic expectation a woman tries to achieve to be accepted. In the poem the character is compared to the Barbie Doll, and although the character obtains other attribute such as “she was healthy, tested intelligent” (7) that did not seem no matter as long as she had thick legs and fat nose with the Barbie did not

Medium refers to supplies used by an artist. Example is the type of paint or what they are using to paint like a canvas or wall.

Art is the intentional use of some medium to communicate emotions or ideas between minds. Some combination of the five senses is used to conduct information, so art may take the form of music, painting, sculpture, dance, and others. Art may be collaborative, as with the presentation of a symphony, which may involve a composer, a conductor, players, and a lighting crew all working to create the art of the presentation. Also, art occurs in at least one level of abstraction removed from reality, a representation of the real thing.

Everything involving art must also involve a certain medium. A medium, simply defined as what the artist uses to create art, is the cornerstone of the artmaking process. An artist carries out the creative process by incorporating the materials in a particular way to get the finished product. The materials needed to create a masterpiece can range from oil paints used to illustrate the Mona Lisa to marble that was sculpted into the Statue of David. An artist uses the medium they choose to use and then begins creating but it is not as simple as this. Mediums are not just what artists use to create the art, mediums allow the artist to create the art. The artist must be able to control the medium and handle its many complexities throughout the

Throughout my artistic growth, the contemporary British artist Jenny Saville, that dedicated her career to traditional figurative oil painting, has acted a massive part in my developing work. The subjects of her paintings, the large canvasses and bodies exposing the flesh. The explanation of her work, tends to be eccentric and encompasses discourses about feminism i.e.: 1 'feminist aesthetics of disgust ', her use of uneven scratch marks, the strong and
