Navodila za opisovanje slike

Za opis izberite likovno delo, ki ni pretežko. Kompozicija naj bo preprosta, oblik naj bo malo, ne glede na to ali delate figuralno ali nefiguralno likovno delo.
Če boste izbirali med nam že poznanimi avtorji, priporočam naslednja dela:

1. Lowry: (dela dobite na naslovu http://www.lowry.info/ )
Two brothers, The Contraption, Man on the Wall, The Cart,

2. Baurjeve Trolle, ki jih prav tako dobite v spletni galeriji J. Bauerja. (http://www.bpib.com/illustrat/bauer.htm / http://elfwood.lysator.liu.se/farp/bauer/menu.html  )

Učitelj da učencem likovno delo v opazovanje. Skupaj odkrivajo tematiko, vsebino slike in elemente kompozicije. Nato se pogovorijo o načinu opisovanja likovnega dela z namenom, da prikažemo realno podobo narisanega. Učitelj jih opozori, da je potrebno opisovati le dejstva in realne podobe, ne pa občutkov in sodb, saj se tega ne da narisati. Pojasni jim, da bo skupina učencev skušala narisati sliko po njihovem opisu. Pri opazovanju in ustnem opisovanju jih vodimo od pomembnejšega k manj pomembnemu, od bližnjega k daljnemu.

Opisujemo tako, da se držimo pravila od večjega k manjšemu, od ospredja v ozadje, od svetlejšega k temnejšemu od leve proti desni ter od gibanja do statičnosti.

Koraki pri opisovanju:

	Določi osnovno temo likovnega dela in prostor, kjer se dogaja
	Opiši prevladujoče barve na sliki.
	Poudari, od kod prihaja svetloba.
	Kateri liki nastopajo, koliko jih je.

Nato se loti podrobnega opisa posameznih delov slike.

	Opisuj like od leve proti desni, najprej tiste, ki stojijo spredaj, nato tiste, ki so v ozadju. (Predmeti, ki so v ospredju, oblika, velikost, barva in zaporedje od leve proti desni)
	Opiši velikost in obliko likov,
	Določi barvo le-teh, podrobne elemente, posebnosti (oblačila, obuvala, pokrivala, če so osebe)
	Morebitno gibanje ali lego

Nato se loti opisa ozadja

	Elementi ozadja
	Lega in oblika
	Barva
	Svetloba
	Morebitni poudarki in posebnosti

Piši v sedanjiku.

Instructions for describing an artwork

First choose an artwork, which is not too complex and has a simple composition with only a few shapes included. It doesn't matter you work with figurative or non-figurative artwork. If you choose among the known authors Metka suggests this artworks:

1. Lowry: (you can find them on: http://www.lowry.info/)
Two brothers, The Contraption, Man on the Wall
The Cart,

2.Baurjeve Trolle, you can find them in J. Bauerj gallery: http://www.bpib.com/illustrat/bauer.htm / http://elfwood.lysator.liu.se/farp/bauer/menu.html)

Teacher gives the chosen artwork students to observe. Together they discuss its theme, what it is about and the elements of the composition. Then they talk about how such a description should be written if it is supposed to be used for new creation according the description. They should describe just what they see, the facts and real images and not what they think or feel about them. We can’t draw the feelings and opinions J. They are told that another group of pupils will try to draw it according to their description. When the pupils observe and try to express orally what they see in the artwork, we help and guide them to be aware of more important and less important things, those at the front and those at the back of the image.

We explain them that when describing the facts in the images we should follow certain rules. We start:

	from bigger to smaller elements
	from front to back
	from light to dark
	from left to right
	from moving to static figures

Steps in writing:

	we first define the main topic of the artwork, place where it is located
	we describe prevailing colours
	which elements or figures and how many of them are represented in the artwork

 Then we start detailed description of particular parts of the artwork

	we describe images or figures from left to right, first those that are placed in front, than those at the back.
	We describe how big they are and what is their shape
	We write about the colours of detailed elements (maybe clothing, shoes, hats…)
	Eventual movements or positions (walking, running, sitting…)

Finally we start describing the background of the artwork.

	Elements of the background
	Position of them
	Colours
	Light coming from…
	Possible emphasis and peculiarities

At the end they read through the description again and try to check if they have included all the important elements and facts.
