Aesthetic Puzzle
Aesthetic Puzzle
An aesthetic puzzle is a way to explore issues within art and art history that offers a more interesting and fluid means to develop our understandings of aesthetic and critical issues and to test and challenge our theories and beliefs we have about art. These slides are an aesthetic puzzle I created as an example for street-artist Dan Witz's Lotus Lounge big.
Aesthetic Scan
Aesthetic Scan
An aesthetic scan is a tool used to describe, analyze, and make judgement about works of art. We do this by focusing on the sensory, formal, expressive and technical elements of art. This aesthetic scan is a scan on Locomocion Capilar, by Spanish-Mexican Artist Remedios Varo. The example is a tool used for question generating so viewers can think through the work themselves.
