Becoming An Informed Viewer of Art.
It is safe to say that most people who are not well informed or well educated in art fit into the category of a “Simple Viewer.” The “simple viewer” is a person who looks at works of art and immediately rushes to judgement about what they are looking at, without giving intelligent, critical thought to what they are seeing. Their mind likely judges a work of art by simply saying: “I either like this” or “I don’t like this,” which is a very oversimplified and lazy way to look at art. The more informed viewer of art, however, takes the time to carefully evaluate and analyze what they are seeing to try and understand what they are looking at and what is being communicated in the work of art.
For this discussion topic, I would like you to tell me how you have become a much more “informed viewer” of art. Give specific reasons and examples from your life. For example, maybe you were at the dentist’s office recently and you noticed a painting hanging on the wall and you took the time to carefully think about the painting and what it was communicating, not only in terms of its subject matter, but also how some of the Visual Elements of Art and Principles of Organization were used (refer to writing assignment #2). Be as specific as you can. Please respond in six to eight sentences.
Example from other posts:
Since I’ve started this course, I’ve noticed that I not only notice art more often, but when I notice the art I’ll actually take the time to look at it. Becoming an informed viewer of art has made me appreciate artists and the work they create much more than I did before. I am currently a CNA at a nursing home. I used to never really notice the paintings that were hanging in the hall or in the resident’s rooms. However, just yesterday as I was in one of the resident’s rooms, I noticed a painting that we had viewed in class called, “The Last Supper.” Even though I had been in and out of this resident’s room numerous times, this was the first time I actually noticed that the painting was hanging up right there in the living room. I paused for a moment and remembered some of the things we discussed in class such as the overlapping of figures and linear perspective. It was pretty interesting to see a larger version of this painting and to be able to pick out more details the second time around. I definitely feel that I have become enough of an informed viewer of art to recognize some well known paintings, and also to analyze what the paintings are communicating, and some of the visual elements of art within the paintings.
