Personal Values Of Art

With art as a medium through which the artist communicates knowledge to an audience, this knowledge has the potential to create meaning and purpose in our personal lives. When someone accepts the artist’s claims as personal knowledge, he gains an understanding that is personally significant to his life. Meaning lies in the individual’s personal interpretation of artwork he deems significant and accepts as personal knowledge. Conversely, the audience finds purpose in the knowledge an artist shares

The basic definition of knowledge, as I see it, is “it can be personal or shared truths which can be justified by areas of knowing, and constructed by ways of knowing”, which is the information, understanding, a skill that we may get from experience and/or education. The application and the removal of personal knowledge influences shared knowledge, making it so that the value of itself is defined by its application and even by the lack of it. Leading to the knowledge question “To what extent is shared

on the shared knowledge and personal knowledge that one experienced. Knowing that there are various interpretation of arts, the real life application that comes to my mind to ask “how do we weigh beauty” or “what is aesthetics”? Back in the fifteenth century, Renaissance’s art work, literature and science had a huge impact in Europe. The reason why the art work or literature represent the specific time period is because shared knowledge of art has influenced personal knowledge, so that the artists’

At a glance my reaction to this question was of course we will value knowledge if it requires a more difficult understanding. If it is difficult it must be of value. However, the more I looked at the question I began to realize that the question makes the assumption that knowledge is only valued if produced with difficulty. Like my first reaction the notion of the question is quite limited. it cannot be assumed that when something is difficult for one that it is difficult for another. When looking

paints, surfaces and technique they use to create true art. The technique can influence the how artists chooses to present they works to the world. Artist such as Debra Hampton and Mickalene Thomas create very unique artworks using various techniques to express feelings in the world they live in. Debra Hampton completes Rapid Fire in 2009 as part of the Twenty Paces exhibit for Priska C. Juschka Fine Art in New York City. Hampton gives her personal expression in Rapid Fire by creating what she believes

process, it is inevitable that humans ‘value’ certain knowledge more than others - both on a personal level and more widely as a society or community. The titular statement insinuates that knowledge is endowed with value when it is produced with difficulty. However, there is a lot of ambiguity regarding both the concept of difficulty and value of knowledge. Possible stances with regard to the statement will be greatly influenced by the way difficulty and value is defined. As an initial starting point

“The value of art might be that it offers us a way of working through the complexity of moral or ethical issues – not prescribing solutions to them.” To what extent do you agree with this statement? Cite specific visual examples to substantiate your argument. I disagree slightly with the statement, as the statement generalizes the value of art, claiming that the value of art is that it exists solely for its viewers to question their moral and ethical views.

Shelbi Gambrell 001 Philosophy of Art Education Art education is different for each individual. Some individuals have a formal art education that includes weekly, sometimes daily, lessons, while some students receive one week of the year dedicated to art and taught by their homeroom teacher after state testing. I was a teacher’s kid that knew how to craft and get all of the paint supplies out of the class. However, I was never taught the importance of holding my brush a certain way or the

the roles of artists and spectators. He mentions that artists are not in full control of how their art is perceived, but by the people who view it and talk about it. Ultimately, the spectator gives a work of art its meaning, whether or not it aligns with the artists intentions. First, Duchamp suggests that an artist's intentions cannot transcend past the artist. This loss of intention is called 'art coefficient' (Duchamp) “If we give the attributes of a medium to the artist, we must then deny him

Art is the expression of human creative skills and imagination characteristically in a visual form such as painting, drawing, photographs or sculpture producing works of arts to be valued primarily for its beauty or emotional influence. Conceptual artists have become less interested in making beautiful artworks that value the aesthetic, preferring instead to use the process of art to explore ideas and challenge beliefs, whether artistic or political. Over time, this has distorted the definition of
