Dont Do The Video Just Sent The Image And What I Can Say In It And I

Take a look around the campus at UCF or somewhere close to your home. Observe all the artwork you can see, including galleries on campus, displays at the library, artwork outside, or in gardens, roads, ponds, etc. Study the architecture, gardens, or other physical features. Focus on deliberate artwork—art created intentionally by an artist—as opposed to natural or organic elements. Discover where the artist made decisions and consider their choices.

Research the area’s artworks, which can include sculptures, paintings, murals, or installations—whether temporary or permanent exhibits. Select one or two pieces of art that stand out to you. Record a video (not of your own artwork or someone you know’s work) describing the piece and analyzing the visual components such as space, line, shape, tone, color, movement, and rhythm.

In your analysis, determine how the artist used these components. What do these choices mean in the context of the artwork? Use online resources to research these visual components further. Apply a critical eye when examining the artwork and consider how contrast and affinity (harmony among elements) play roles in the piece.

Ask yourself questions about the visual components: How many are present? How does the use of these components help tell a story or convey a message? How might the artist have enhanced their work? Could the piece be improved or interpreted differently?

Consider whether these visual components support storytelling, mood, or the viewer’s understanding of the artwork.

Your task is to create a short video (between 60 and 75 seconds) that showcases your findings. Describe the visual components you identified, explain why they are significant, and discuss how they function within the artwork, the storytelling, or the venue. Provide compelling reasons for your interpretations, supported by your observations and research. Post your video along with all your research, including links to online sources that illustrate your analysis.
