Walker Big Idea and Artmaking
After reading this article, I got the feeling that big idea can represent one artist's style and what he or she wants to tell people about his or her artmaking, and the theme, subject and the big idea are totally different, any themes and subject making can set together to express one big idea, also, during the class, the teacher can lead students with these big idea and essential questions to get closer to the artist, then the students can understand what the artist wants to show them more deeply. If I have a big idea with my subject, it's very meaningful for me to create my own subject more logically I think.
For distinguish between the subject matter and the big idea, I'm may confused with two of them, if the subject matter is the topic, then the big idea is the concepts for the artists, but sometimes the concept can also be a topic too.
Barrett Interpreting visual culture
I found this article very helpful to identify the denotations and connotations, the denotations is that we can see but different people has different understanding on the same denotations, and the connotations are after your watching, what's in your mind or what you received in the denotation, they are connected very closely,when an artist wants to express an subject, he uses denotations to connotate people, to show up his connotation, he needs some image and some denotations to express that, but the connotation can be different maybe.
Actually I just understand the part of the Teddy Bears and the cereal boxes. I just felt lost in the part of art teachers interpret a painting, I don't know what author wants to say in here.
