Artist and the Viewer

Being an artist and a viewer can be very difficult.  Let me explain....

As a viewer we have to try interpret and put clues together.  The artist imagines and then creates to interpret what he/she's thinking.  Most times there's a straight forward message that is shown.  But other times it could be just for fun and enjoyment and others is for just trying something new, Sometimes it can be difficult trying to get inside the artist head.  Other times it's easy.  This painting you can try to interpret.  But if you aren't given any information, it could be anything, like Man trying to reach God's standards.  But if you are truly trying to interpret this painting into an essay it will end you looking like this :








If I have to right an essay about this famous painting, I will end up like this.....probably much worse...  The quiz was better than I expected it to be.  Some questions did surprise me, but my week of studying has left me like this ->










But this was something relaxing.  I did do all the readings and study guides. And it wasn't so bad (though I wish we could hand them in).  I did learn a lot in this class like being open and not being close minded.  People won't respond to a fist full of opinions, but they just might if its new ideas through evidence of experience.  And I can't wait to learn more in this class.
