How does an artist's point of view affect the message of a painting? ?

Question

For an assignment, i need to analyse a painting. How can you tell the artist's point of view and to understand what he intends to say?

Answer 1

you make it up. as long as you can back it up they wil pay it.

ie Edvard Munch "scream"

the subject is intoxicated by his love that is driving him insane, this is shown through the use of deep reds and the blue. the red for love and the blue the calmness in the eye of the storm.

even though we all know that the scream was his fear of the outside world.

just make something up and back it up.

what painting is it any way? i might be able to help

Answer 2

"With all my black little heart" made a very good point, if you can back up your essay with thoughtful perceptions, i'm sure your teacher will buy it.

Tips for doing that:

*Try making up a plausible story from your imagination about what's happening in the picture and base it off that.

*Make sure to use lots of details from the picture that coincides with your story.

*Use emotion as a basis for certain aspects of the painting.

And your set, good luck.

Answer 3

what is the focal point of the painting, and ask yourself why it is important.  what is the subject of the painting?  An artists point of view is a painting, true painters only paint what they want you to see, all the info you need is right there on the canvas.
