MMO Module03 - GE6 AA

1. Art can have factual, conventional, and subjective meanings. Considering all levels provides a fuller understanding of the work. 2. Factual meanings relate directly to the content, conventional meanings consider cultural symbols/motifs, and subjective meanings vary per viewer. Looking at different types of meanings captures different aspects. 3. Art is open to interpretation, and individual viewers may derive diverse subjective meanings. Differentiating meanings acknowledges this complexity and allows for diverse yet informed analyses and appreciations of a work.

The subject of art


To a majority of people, the appeal of most
works of art lies in the representation of familiar
objects. Their enjoyment of paintings, sculpture, and
literature comes not from their perception but from
the satisfaction they get out of recognizing the
subject or understanding the narrative content.
The subject of art refers to any person, object,
scene or event described or represented in a work of
art.
