Studio art

From Free net encyclopedia

Studio art is art made in a studio, and the term has several implications depending on the context used.

Studio art in one sense refers to the artwork that is created in the workplace of the artist; in contrast to art work created while attending a university, or other place of learning, in an art gallery, or within artists cooperative are some examples.

Amongst academic disciplines, studio art is the making of visual art (such as painting, drawing or sculpture), contrasted to the study of art history.

Studio art often refers to (perhaps incorrectly) an actual piece of artwork (paintings, sculpture, multi-media, drawings, original hand pulled prints, etc.) that have been purchased, borrowed, viewed or loaned from the artist out of his physical studio. This holds true only if the “studio” is a space used solely for the creation of artwork by the artist.

"The creation of artwork in a space that is specifically designated for such purpose." This definition of studio art is used quite frequently in the art community. In this example studio art is used (incorrectly) as an adverb or verb (e.g. "Tom has been making studio art for years."). This statement can be interpreted as either derogative or complimentary. Studio art in this context can mean either art that is created by an amateur or nonprofessional (an idea derived from the beginning of the High Renaissance period when an artist and his "studio" were considered disreputable) — thus derogatory; or art that is created by an elitist (a misconception that has been propagated by the art community and artists throughout the 20th century such as Willem De Kooning, Jackson Pollock, Gerhard Richter and other reclusive artists) — thus complimentary.

Studio art encompasses all art forms, such as dance, music, photography, film or movie production, etc.zh:工作室藝術
