Constructing Meaning

This chapter showed us something that, myself as an artist, has learned to with great insight from last semseter, create art with an underlined meaning beneath it. To me, art that is not only aestheicaly pleasing but also has meaning puts forward a piece with more depth. Yet the chapter reminds us that you will not always be there to explain your piece, so there are ways to make sure your message is not misinterrupted. One of the most imporant is realizing whom your audience is. Once you do that it is easy to convey your message in an understanble way because you can target that audience specifically. When using drama in your piece the chapter mentioned some of the concepts like focusing on essentials and finding significance can be useful. I believe in thinking both conceptually as well as in an aesthic manner, we as artist can create some very well rounded artworks that could potentially touch lives.
