1. THE ARTS

   • Imagination
     • In art, one of the first things we are taught is to let our imagination guide us in the pursuit of creating art. We may all be given the same directions for a project and will all come up with something different because we all have unique imaginations and thoughts.
   • The arts are based in 4 different perspectives, each gives a different meaning.
     • -w/emphasis on artist
       • -w/emphasis on artwork
         • -w/emphasis on audience
           • w/emphasis on context of society/natural world
             • If the viewer doesn't understand the context that the art was created in, such as personal influences, then the viewer may have a weakened understanding of the piece compared to someone with knowledge of the background.
   • Sense Perception
     • RLS: My step-dad is colorblind so he cannot perceive pieces of art the same as I since he cannot differentiate certain colors
     • Art is taken in through the senses, predominantly the eyes and the ears, so each person takes in the information differently. No two people will look at a piece of art and see it the exact same.
