LECTURE
Visual Analysis
Visual analysis is a way to understand a design or work of art. Visual analysis understands the idea of the creator or the hidden meaning of the work of art. Visual analysis also allows people to intuitively understand the content and metaphor of the work from the perspective of different design principles.
- OBSERVATION
Observation represents the direct identification of design elements and methods through vision.
- ANALYSIS
Analysis is the result of thinking about observations and reporting and summarizing the information observed.
- INTERPRETATION
The last part is to confirm the observation, analysis and conclusion of the work by looking for other similar works.

TASK 2
Visual analysis
Figure1.1: Artwork of Interest《 Scuola di Atene 》
Author： Raphael
Year：1509-1511
Size：500 cm × 770 cm（200 in × 300 in）
Observation:
The work mainly shows different philosophical schools, especially the opposition between idealism and realism. The figures in the painting are mostly ancient Greek philosophers, scientists and mathematicians, who are divided into two factions, each thinking and discussing around their own school.
The figures in this painting are divided into two groups: Plato (left, in red) and Aristotle (right, in blue). The other figures are on the left (Platonic)：Pythagoras / Heraclitus. Right side (Aristotelian)：Euclid / Ptolemy. And Rafael himself in the front right of the frame.
Analysis:
Contrast / Balance / Movement
The colors in the picture are rich and coordinated, and the combination of cold and warm tones enhances the visual layer. Plato wore red (symbolizing passion and philosophical speculation), and Aristotle wore blue (symbolizing reason and science), and the contrast of colors reinforced the philosophical opposition between the two men. This is the Contrast design method.
The picture in the work is symmetrical, with the central figure as the axis, showing a balanced structure. Although the distribution of the characters has their own actions and gestures, the whole maintains a stable visual balance, making the picture vivid and harmonious. This is the Balanced design method.
Each character's movements and expressions express their thoughts and personalities. The gestures of the central characters suggest philosophical differences: Plato's fingers are pointed upward (symbolizing the ideal world), and Aristotle's palms are pointed downward (symbolizing the real world). This is the Movement design method.
Interpretation:
The figures in the painting are divided into two factions representing the opposite of idealism and realism, each philosopher expressing a different school of thought, and their books, gestures and clothing all expressing their different views.
