MAKING MEANING

Slide 13 Discuss using this optical illusion as a

starter to acknowledge that it is okay
to have different
perspectives/interpretations/views/
beliefs/opinions when analysing art
and that is absolutely fine.
Art in many cases is a conversation
starter. Share your ideas none are
right or wrong.
A good artist will be able to guide
your ideas behind the arts meaning,
through visual techniques (principles
and elements). Therefore we will
generally have similar ideas, but art
is interesting because for different
people it means different things.
