    personality or who the viewer is. That is‚ a group of people can look at the same image‚ or object‚ and describe it differently. Which leads to Berger’s idea‚ in Ways of Seeing‚ that how we see things is subjective‚ it is rather determined by what we know‚ or what we believe (141). Our past experiences also have a role in how we see things‚ recognize them‚ and then relate to them. Berger starts with the idea that seeing comes before words‚ because in our human nature‚ we see before we use words. Then

    The Art of Loving

    • 7 Pages

    The Art of Loving is a slim volume of only a little over a hundred pages yet it packs one hell of a punch. Written some fifty years ago‚ here is a more damning indictment of modern society than anything the existential crowd of Bertrand Russell‚ Albert Camus or Jean Paul Sartre could cook up. The Art of Loving is a very concise and pithy read‚ it is written in the terse lucid style of gospel‚ each word in each line serving a critical function. This is not a writer’s style nor is a critic’s but that

    The government of the UK spends about £220 million a year supporting museums and galleries and the similar amount of money subsidizing the visual and performing arts like theaters and exhibitions. “This is a huge sum to spend on minority interests‚ and the money would be better spent on more important things. It should be up to the people who enjoy cultural attractions to pay for them.” Of course this is a solid sum of money‚ but to call such important cultural events minority interests is

    The Finding of Moses was painted by Laurent de La Hyre during the 17th Century (1647-50). Known for painting rarely depicted scenes‚ this painting is immediately captivating to the viewer as it portrays the scene from the bible where Moses is discovered by the King’s daughter. Although Laurent de La Hyre chose a scene from a well known biblical story (which was typical during the Counter Reformation)‚ it was his portrayal of the scene itself that makes it unique from other artworks. With his use

    Art Observation For my art observation I went to preschool. I observed a Jr. Kindergarten class that consisted of 12 students between the ages of 4 and 5. It was a Monday‚ Tuesday‚ Wednesday class. The day that I observed the students and teachers sometimes (as well as the whole school) were a little distracted‚ because it was picture day. So after the students took their pictures they did their art activity so that they wouldn’t have to stop and they wouldn’t get dirty for the picture. Overall
