Exploring the Relationship Between Oil Painting Technology Teaching and the Improvement of Visual Perception Ability

Abstract

Visual perception is an important element in the creative arts industry as it is a pillar of the feedback loop that informs artists on the audiences’ response to paintings. This vitality prompts the examination of the relationships between oil painting technology teaching and visual perception abilities. At all times, the audience should have a true positive or negative visual perception of oil paintings to match the realities of the designs, paintworks and other critical features of the artworks. In this research, the relationship between audiences’ visual perceptual abilities and oil painting was examined in a mixed methodology: qualitative and quantitative data was analyzed to established underlying mechanisms of positive and negative visual perceptions developed upon visual encounters with artworks. Secondary data obtained from electronic databases analyzed and visualized using the Python programming language in Anaconda’s integrated development environment. A preliminary analysis of the data revealed a multidimensional relationship between oil painting technology teaching and visual perception abilities. The conclusive revelation was that the audience may develop a positive or negative visual perception on oil paints based on the rendition, color, texture and overall organization of the paintworks. The separation of non-important from important elements of the paintworks, including aesthetics, stylization, integration of technology and composition of are the foundations of the improved visual perception abilities.
