Artists Styles

Achievment Standard: Students analyse and explain how images, vocabulary choices distinguish the work of individual authors.

Every author has their own style, we may take inspiration from others, but we all bring something unique to a creation.

But how can we tell who created something?

When listening to new music, can you tell who it is from just listening to it?

What allows you to do this?

What about art?

Can you tell who the artist was just by looking at it? What tells you this? Every artist has similar features in their work which allows you to judge who created it.

Things we can use to inform us:

  • Colour
  • Techniques
  • Style
  • Messages
  • Themes

Discussion: Lets look at some examples of different artists, what are the similar features which sets them apart and allows you to identify their work?
