Why might the artist have used the particular setting?
figure/ground relationships?
The figure is an airy, almost transparent, stony figure that gives a theatrical feel, but not a well defined,detailed one. The background is believed to be the sky, but the artist has chosen an urban gray-green color that defines the mood of the poster but also to reach the intended audience.
What is the artists saying with the composition?
The composition successfully suggests the type of the concert: free to public, everybody can attend. Is definitely not a sophisticated concert but more like students from music school performing.
What is the artists saying with light?
The contrast of light and dark is crucial for the composition of the poster. the figure is constructed by the mixture of light, shade and one mid-tone. The contrast created gives drama and also creates the theatrical feel.
How might you evoke similarly without any text?
In the re-creation of the object, I also played with with the light and dark to create that contrast and drama. I created my figure by putting together little pieces of light and shadow. To add volume, I also added the mid-tone to define the clothing.
How might you change the mood without any text in a manner that stays true to the original artwork?
I did try to change the mood a little bit while still using the style of the original artwork. my poster still has that airiness and movement but I created a more modern figure. I still have the same figure-ground relationship but while the original figure has a more stony feel to it my figure is more lively.
