From Willendorf to Amsterdam .... illusionism in art
Step 1: Summarize 'the Peak Shift principle' in no more than THREE sentences.
CONTENT:
Step 2: Explain how this works in the Venus of Willendorf. What is the survival factor here?
Step 3: Now explain how it changes for the Egyptians - show this in a sculpture. What is now the survival factor?
CONCLUSION:
Step 4: Do you think this principle still works for us in the 20th and 21st centuries? You could write a few sentences about the distortion in Alexander's Butcher Boys? (Or other real life examples you have seen in the media?)
Now go back and put in your 'teaser' - your catchy introduction.........
Spellcheck and share the doc with studio@dghs.co.za (make sure you have made the doc PUBLIC)

Some common comments!
Confused!
What is the Peak Shift Principle?
But why?
How
does it help our survival?
Think
more deeply ….
Where
are some facts - 'data'?
Date?
Size/function? Material/method? Situation/place?
Please use
paragraphs.
Please use
spaces between sentences.
Please check
your spelling.
Please use
capital letters = 'upper case'.
Well
written!
This is an
excellent article!
Summarize
concisely please.
Please write more about
the art.
This is too
much for a 1 page article!
No examples
given - you were asked for a sculpture.
Discuss
specific examples.
Egyptians
exaggerated and distorted the human body according to a formula = 'stylization'
e.g.
all fingers were the same length; eye elongated and enlarged - seen from the
side.
Order
was a divine rule. If you disobeyed you were doomed!
Your
conclusion is very unclear. Please try and express this more coherently.
NO - not a disease!
Not asked for in this article…
Could
we be like the Egyptians? If we don't fit in to our media norms we will be
ostracized and 'exiled'?
