Description
Artworks are a form of communication. The communications of an artist, like all other forms of communication, are often mysterious and complex, but each artist�s works are the best way he or she knows to say those things. If it could be easily expressed in words, the artist would do it that way with much less effort. It is not surprising, then, that when we come to talk or write about art, we often find ourselves talking about things that are difficult to express. Luckily, responding to art is analogous to reading written works. The more of it you do, the better at it you get. Saying What You See is for anyone who has to � or wants to � reflect on, respond to, and evaluate artworks, their own and others�. It will be particularly useful for students working at NCEA Level 2 and above in the areas of Art History, Design, Graphics, Painting, Printmaking, Photography, Sculpture and Visual Art.
