Week 4 - Lecture Summary

This week we looked at drama, weather and lighting. We focus primarily on the sublime and how altering the weather and lighting in a scene can have a big impact. We looked at artists such as James Ward and Caspar David who use weather, lighting and specific views to create drama and a scene that is realistic however makes you question its reality.

Week 3 - Lecture Summary

This week in our lecture we focused on The Picturesque. This was the notion of creating a landscape that looks natural, however, everything is placed intentionally and with a specific purpose. In the artworks we looked at, there was a clear definition of foreground, middle ground and background. I intend to incorporate ideas of The Picturesque into my island by creating 'view points' where the view is framed by elements in the foreground.
