Week 14-
A Genealogy
What changed about your
understanding of community-based arts after reviewing this genealogy?
After this, I had a new
understanding of how the viewer receives art is a part of the art
itself, the frame in which it is viewed is the art. I cannot believe that a
sculpture in a public space could change a mind or hurt/help someone.
I remember the effort it takes
to make art is very small but the effort to make effective change is huge.
Performance art has been a part
of our history without us even knowing it. A few of these artforms I’m very
familiar with.
What questions emerged for you?
Who is supposed to take
responsibility to correct the mistakes of others through art? Why do we choose
art as a mode for change?
Who is the audience that
listens to artists trying to effect change, and what are the answers to correct
“bad art”?
In what ways are law
enforcement and artists similar?
What’s an example of art that
has a very negative impact, Not just an obstruction of someone’s day to day
habits?
Who has the right to offer
change to someone whose less fortunate?
Why do people listen to a group
of artist rather than just one measly artist.
How am I supposed to value my
virtual education the same as a kinesthetic experience?
What new connections became clear?
I learned what a diverse world
of art for the community exists. There is a large connection of artists that create
work after a catastrophe or even as something informational that tells you
about something maybe you didn’t know existed.
In-equality will always exist,
the same way hierarchy has been established in nature, we have attributed value
to humans, Just like we established which flower is nicest.
If we truly were all the same,
it would kill us. You cannot say you are equal to anyone. Ever. With art you
can express feelings, but also try to get someone to feel the way you do about
whatever. Hopefully one day everyone’s an artist. I believe there are different
modes of communication, and one is art.
