Chapter Four Questions
1. How can one person accurately interpret a painting from centuries ago, when it is a still life or a portrait?
2. On page 121, the book bring up the belief that 'feelings are guides to interpretation'. Should a single critics emotional reaction to an artist's work/one piece be influential for all others? Should not every single individual be allowed to freely experience an emotion from a work without any influences?
3. On page 122, The book bolded the line" interpretations are not so much absolutely right, but more or less... informative." If the book tells the readers that an interpretation is not necessarily right, but rather compelling and insightful, then why do art curriculum's make students read the interpretations from others in textbooks, and have the ability to tell students that they are wrong when they interpret the piece differently?
