- What are some "moves" you see in these videos?
Bob Ross' move when explaining his thought process is being so dam specific. He starts off by naming a very particular paint color, paintbrush, and amount of paint, etc. - How do these artists describe what they’re doing? What do the artists refer to while they describe their work? What do they talk about? What do they direct our attention towards?
Ross tells you when to get more paint and how, "pull the paint through, and wiggle it", the type of stroke you should be performing, and how many types you should be doing. The Disney Artisits refer to their artsy jargon-texture, diffuse light, pressure, distinct, subdued, etc.
- How would you characterize each artist's style, and what impact does their style have on you (a viewer/audience member)? How have these artists chosen to portray their subject matter?
Each Disney Artist did their own thing while painting the same tree. One artist was really creepy and reminded me of like black magic. Another one was more abstract, he says he wanted to keep it simple and not add many details. Each of the artists had their own goal of what they wanted to present the tree as-decorative, detailed trunk, textural for movement, architectural.
I like how you analyzed how "each artist had their own thing" and how you referred to actual statements made in the video. Your analysis was clear and easy to understand. It was also great how you referred to some painting jargon such as diffuse light, subdued, and diffuse light- this showed great analysis of the video's rhetorical features. Good job :)
