First Year 2014-2015

Art In Society

Learning Objectives

  • To understand more fully the topics of transmedia, convergence and participatory culture. How cam these concepts can be useful when looking at the world through the lenses of an art administration professional?
  • To engage in discourse with my academic community in the extensive resource materials we have at our disposal. Broadening my scope for the vast amount of educational blog material, and other multimedia platforms that serve in my better understanding of how certain platforms reach certain audiences (including myself).
  • Beginning to further deepen the discussion about community art events and how they play a role on blurring the participation of audience vs. producer, and why this blurred line is so vital to the human experience.
  • Discussing the relationship between art and class, art and gender, art and race. This all functions within the realm of art in society and how these areas circulate around how art has been viewed historically, religiously, extc.
  • To further dive into my questioning: Is art everywhere? Who makes the call? Are we the powers of judging what art is good art and what is bad? Is it always up to the artist to determine their own self worth of their artwork? This type of questioning and critical thinking will be an important learning objective with my relationship to art in society as it will be essential to look at and evaluate all the aspects of how art lives within society’s walls.
