I learned so much in
this class, from the professor, the videos, the pictures, and the articles. I
also met a lot of students from different majors and different races in this
class. I am really enjoyed this course, even though I am not an Art Education
major or any art relative majors. I took this class for General Education; but
it taught me a lot of things about art. What I learned is not generality on how
to think and speak about art, make art and critique art, and it is also not
describe, analyze, interpret and judge for critiquing a work of art those are
laid out. I learned that what I (as a student) see in an artwork to contemporary
visual culture specifically. Visual Culture is focus on how art documents,
comments on, and judges and influences a particular culture or society. It’s looking
at contemporary art in everyday life, not just in a major museum or by dead
artists. I realized that we are
constantly surrounded by visual messages and we have to either accept the
dominant message or see if there is any hidden meaning behind the image. That hidden meaning differs depending on who
is the viewer. Art education now is more about teaching me to think for myself,
make judgments while being tolerant and accepting of diversity, and to how to
become agents of social change.
Pedagogy is teaching
awareness and acceptance of diverse populations of people without judgment and
with equality in social and educational opportunities. Diversity includes all
aspects of people’s identities that help define who they are. Aspects of
identity include ethnicity, social class, race, gender, sexual identity, age
and ability, among others. Diversity has many implications in life and
education. I learn how to think for
other people. I learn how to interpret
the barrage of images and information people interact with everyday then they
are more likely to succeed in their chosen path in life. Knowing how to interact with all types of
people and to be able to decipher, interpret and utilize information for a new
purpose are important skills.
This
famous logo is extremely clear and simple but this arrow might not look like
more than a smile to you. Before, coming to any conclusions I would like you to
know the concept behind this…it says that amazon.com has everything from a to z and it also represents the smile
on the customers face when they bought a product.
