Week 2 Reflections

I learned many news things these past two weeks, but the most important thing I learned was the definition of art. I loved the videos with the little clay characters. Art is anything someone puts together that one gets a reaction from the piece. Just like the picture Michelle put up with her parents, some people might just look at it as a normal picture, but to others a picture is worth 1000 words. I thought you needed to have prerequesites and what not for your piece to be considered art, but the last two weeks taught me differently. There are a couple things that I had trouble understanding and interpreting such as the art piece called Bushfire and Corroboree Dreaming by Erna Motna. This type of art, which is non-objective, is very hard for me to decipher, but hopefully as the weeks go on I will learn how to do that.
