  • You've found something you love. It's natural to want to understand what makes it work, what makes it so good, so that you can improve your own work. Just like a succulent dish, there's a recipe to every great piece of art. You can find it when you take the work, and break it down into smaller pieces. In this video, Chris shows you how to find the five major ingredients in a piece of art, so you can decode the power of anything. This was a part of a longer session Chris did called "How To Learn Anything", where he talked about the three essential skills to surviving in the 21st century.

    So, I went back to all my favorite artworks and designs and tried doing this on some of them and I am mind blown because 1) I realized that I am not as articulate as I thought I was 2) I've noticed that there so much more elements and/or details in the artwork/design than I first thought
    Thank you for this my mind has been blessed with something new

  • @RalphOpinion

    this is exactly how my art teacher taught me. breaking things down to elements

  • @TrentKennelly
    @TrentKennelly 3 ปีที่แล้ว +18

    WOW. I absolutely love this not ONLY as a way to find inspiration but also just to take the time to appreciate art in the first place. I love art but I can honestly say I’ve never taken the time to truly focus on one piece like this before. Really blown away, so cool.

  • @Design.Theory
    @Design.Theory 3 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    Excellent insights. As you mentioned in the video (paraphrasing here) you cannot replicate what you don't understand. Analysis (and then replication) is an incredibly under-rated method of becoming a great designer. This is common in visual arts and in music, but for some reason, it just isn't talked about much in design. Thank you for making the video!

  • @brandonread9809

    This is crucial. It's similar to how reading helps with your writing, reading and vocabulary. When breaking down art looking, breaking down and getting to the core of what you find visually interesting is as just as important as the art itself. Great video guys!

    • @youlikeanh
      @youlikeanh 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      suprising they don't teach these things in art school, or companies training junior designers

    • @thestellarelite
      @thestellarelite 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      @@youlikeanh They certainly taught it at my art school. I took graphic design but switched to illustration but a large chunk of electives and even core courses were art history studying/interpreting. Even got to see some of what I studied in London and Paris that was even better. I'm glad for it too just need more time to actually do it in real life outside school!

    But I m feel so hard when I'm tried to break down an artwork ingredients. LOL

    • @thefutur
      @thefutur  3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      it takes some practice and guidance to get it but at least you are applying what you learned. that's the best way to master something.

    this was really helpful. I do something similar myself but it's nice to have a more structured approach, especially one that you can reference to other people.
    Also i thought throughout the video Chris is having so much fun talking about the stuff his son picked up on and then he goes full asian parent mode and gives him a C- xD I love it

    • @thefutur

    Hi Chris! I’m not an art student but I watched the full whiteboard session when it was released and loved it. I also watched this and love how you break things down. Question, can the 5 ingredients be used to break down things in other aspects of life or is it just about art?
