UERJ 2010/2Enjoying Art
Enjoying Art! First, let me say that I am not an art expert,
far from it. I’m just an ordinary individual who happens
to love many different art forms. Art and music, among
other things, stir my passions; they simply soothe and
[5] make me feel happy and alive! What I like about art is
that it is such a personal experience!
Art affects each of us in various ways. What I see and
feel while observing a certain sculpture or painting is not
necessarily what you will! I may think that it is the greatest,
[10] most beautiful creation in the world, while you may say:
“What the heck was this artist thinking, or drinking?”
I stand before Michelangelo’s masterpiece, “La Pieta”, almost entranced, sincerely affected by its
beauty. I see a 47-year-old grieving mother, stunned and broken hearted. She is seated, holding her
33-year-old son, a full-grown man, across her lap. I empathize with her pain at the loss of her first born!
[15] Her utter distress! Her total helplessness! Her devastation! I breathe deeply and I sigh!
I behold the stature’s beauty of form. I observe the graceful fold of the gowns and the details of the
images. I appreciate the beauty of the marble. Here, I see representation of life and death, side by side,
forever present! I feel the energy of balance as I merge with their experience. I am deeply affected,
mentally, emotionally and physically. I am enveloped in contradicting feelings of depression and joy, of
[20] dread and hope! These figures convey a symphony of emotions and wonder within me! I breathe deeply,
and again... I sigh! Then I think to myself: Michelangelo, you are truly a genius! I am overwhelmed as I
think and wonder what you must have felt, as you created this beautiful masterpiece!
The next time you’re quietly observing a piece of art that looks interesting to you, look at the piece
carefully and notice the things that you like. Notice the shapes/designs, the color or lack of it! Then try to
[25] get the message. Try to imagine what the artist felt as he/she created the piece. Try to associate it with
something. Does it remind you of anything? Good! Just get in touch with your feelings.
Pay attention to those feelings. Is it a sad scene? Does it make you sad? Does this picture move you,
make you happy? Good, then the artist has conveyed a message to you. Don’t know what it is? What it
is supposed to represent? But you like it anyway? Good! Don’t like it? That’s okay too! An art object is
meant to give a message and/or get a reaction! Your reaction! So, look, feel and enjoy!

UFG 2010/2Power of Images: Creating the Myths of Our Time
by J. Francis Davis
The history of human social interchange has evolved through three distinct phases: oral, text-based, and now imagecentered communication. In oral cultures, learning and tradition were passed on by word of mouth, primarily through storytelling. The invention of writing made it possible to preserve information and literacy traditions beyond the capacity of memory, but the circulation of hand-written books was still limited to an elite few.
With the invention of the printing press, written texts were in effect transferred from the exclusive property of those wealthy enough to afford hand-copied manuscripts to a broad reading public.
A similar revolution began about 150 years ago with the invention of photography. For the first time, visual representation of objects in space could be reproduced on a mass scale. Image communication was born.
It only took about 50 years for this new method of representation to become a major player in the communication of social values in American society. The rise of the advertising industry spurred this change, for advertisers quickly learned that the most effective way to sell products was not through stories or plain-text facts, but through the creation of images that appealed to basic human needs and emotions.
Television cemented the era of image communication, for it tells stories and we watch and listen just like our ancestors who sat mesmerized around campfires.
But television's most important stories are those not verbalized – the stories and myths hidden in its constant flow of images. These images suggest myths – and thus help construct our world and values – in much the same way that stories did in oral culture.
Once identified, myths are easy to recognize: the good life consists of buying possessions that cost lots of money; leave it to the experts (who are usually white, middle-aged men); your body is not good enough; happiness and satisfaction are available with the next consumer purchase; businesses and corporations are concerned for the public welfare.
Only when we learn to read these myths on a daily basis will we have the power to substitute other motivating ideas and goals of our choosing. Only then can we consciously transcend the Age of Image Communication and stop blindlyNaccepting the myths of the image culture.
