How Do We See Art?

 

Today in class we were challenged to make a short video in an hour. Everybody worked in groups of two and we would do our filming at the Harvard Art Museums. My partner, Hang Bai, and I frantically brainstormed and this was the idea that we came up with!

 

 

We found this exercise to be legitimately fun! We highly recommend trying it out next time you find yourself at an art museum with a friend! The sense of realization you get when you are the person drawing the final, reinterpreted sketch and you finally get to see what it was that you were trying to reproduce is incredibly satisfying. This video is more of a showcase of the method than a piece of art itself.
