• How do these artists (Bob Ross and the Disney painters) describe what they’re doing?  What do the artists refer to while they describe their work?  What do they talk about?  What do they direct our attention towards?
• Bob Ross:
• Give trees emotions to describe how they look
• Compare them to other objects we know
• Different tones of the colors
• Pointing out each piece and what it incorporates
• Directs our attention to how it looks and the needed details to get the desired effect
• Tell what to focus on and what not to
• Disney:
• Gives many examples
• Explains what they use to determine which to pick
• Talks about the movies the pictures are used in
• Describe what they are doing by describing what a tree means to them and using that as a source of their inspiration
• Attention to different styles but still the success of drawing the tree in the end of it all
• How would you characterize each artist's style, and what impact does their style have on you (a viewer/audience member)?  How have these artists chosen to portray their subject matter?  
• Bob Ross:
• simplistic, not exactly realistic, not animated or cartoon-ish
• Portray the subject matter by bringing us in to make the same painting, explaining each piece to get a very similar effect
• More of a teaching style than just demonstrating
• Disney:
• Very cartoonish, interesting, creative, very entertaining
• Different techniques such as the use of black and white to make depth
• Portray subject by having four artist paint the same tree, shows different styles within the same people who work to draw the same style for movies
• Only meant to demonstrate not to show the process or teach how to paint
