Viewpoints on My Art
· Take into account
both your own and others' viewpoints as you decide how to
make your art.
· Ask questions about different viewpoints on your
art.
Getting Started
A viewpoint is the way individuals look at the world because
of their experience. Individuals' viewpoints are affected
by many things, including their age, ethnicity, gender, culture,
education, religion, economic status, political convictions,
and much more.
As you continue and eventually complete
your Treasure Box, think about who will have a chance to see
it. In addition to yourself, your classmates are likely to
see the work, and also your teacher. It's possible that the
work might even be displayed in the school or at an art show,
where more people can see it. Are there friends or family
or others whose opinion of your artwork you care about?
- How do you think your Treasure Box
reflects your viewpoint on the world? (for example your
gender, age, ethnicity, religious or political beliefs,
etc.?)
- Who do you think will best appreciate
and understand your Treasure Box? Why?
- As you've been working on your box,
have you thought about how anyone else might view it?
- If you're not yet finished, are
there ways you might modify your box so that others are
more likely to see in it what you want to express?
- Who do you think might not appreciate
or understand your artwork very well? Why?
