Visual Literacy Reflections

This week I learned the terms form, content, representational, abstract, and nonrepresentational. This terms have helped me to view art in a completely different way. I can now look into art in many different ways such as the colors and the lines and the different ways things are placed in certain pieces of art. I also learned that in nonrepresentational art there is still meaning, and even though one cannot tell what is being drawn it is still a way for an artist to show emotion. I have learned to look deeper into various pieces of art and to understand that what is seen is not the only meaning to that piece of art and that every person is going to have their own thoughts about the meaning the piece of art is trying to convey. The only person who knows that true meaning of any certain piece of art is the artist of that piece. I feel that I have learned this unit quite well and I feel that the podcast lectures help to convey the messages to me the best, because I am a visual learner. I don't feel that this unit will give me any troubles.
