Viewpoints on My Art
· Explain how you
and others can understand and value your artwork differently.
· Ask questions about different viewpoints on your
art.
Reflection
A viewpoint is the way individuals look at the world because
of their experience. Every individual's viewpoint is influenced
by many factors, such as one's age, gender, ethnic traditions,
economic level, education, political convictions, religious
beliefs, etc. Lesson Four introduces diverse viewpoints about
the art of Luis Jiménez. Below are four topics related
to viewpoints on art:
A. Artist's Intentions
B. Positive Viewpoints (Held by people who are most likely
to understand and appreciate a certain type of art)
C. Negative Viewpoints (Held by people who are least likely
to understand and appreciate a certain type of art)
D. Priorities for Conservation (What art is most important
to conserve when time, money, and effort for conservation
are limited)
Journal Entry Checklist
Think about your own viewpoint on your own art.
- Why are you more interested in making
one sort of art more than another?
- What goals do you have when you
make art?
Consider how other people perceive
your art from different viewpoints. Think about how each of
the four topics relates to your art.
After you've thought about what you've
learned from your own experience, think of questions you still
have or problems you're still working on. For example for
the first topic:
- Have I ever changed my mind about
what I was trying to do as I worked on an art project?
- Of all the art I've made in art
class, what assignment has been closest to my own interests?
- What has motivated me to make art
outside of school?
- Have I ever made an artwork that
failed to meet my goals?
- Have I ever succeeded in doing more
than I originally intended in my art?
Choose one topic (other than A) to
write about in your journal.
