Art and Visual Culture
[ send me this paper ]
A 3 page research paper/essay that discusses the relationship of art to visual culture. Visual culture refers to the context of an object and the features of that object that give it an understood meaning within a particular society. For example, "a heap of garbage" that is arranged by an artist in a particular manner and displayed within a museum can be classified as "fine art," but random garbage on the street is not considered to be an "important reflection of human intention" (Freedman 38). In other words, the context within a specific society and the ways in which an artist or a craftsman uses the elements of design, that is, line, space, scale, proportion, mass, shape, value, texture and color, convey meanings that are readily understood by the public based upon their cultural knowledge.
