1. What is Learning?
2. After being at the Art Institute yesterday, what did you take in that you will carry with you? In other words, what "HIT YOU?", "inspired you?", "made you ask a question?", or "is just now part of your memory, experience, and way of seeing the world?
1. Learning is the gaining anything you can't hold.
ReplyDelete2. I will carry with me the personal feel of all the work. Not so much the original pieces but the fact that they paintings were what these artist were thinking about way back when. For example the portriates of people from the 16th century, those people really lived, who where they, what did they like to do on sunny march days, what were they like.
1. Learning is experiencing. Simply going through life and lending an attentive ear to often trivial circumstances offers learning experiences via what we retain. You can gain knowledge from a math book, but unless you experience the solving of an algorithm first hand, it's just informational fluff floating about in your head.
ReplyDelete2. Artwork is more than what is just framed in a museum. I respect each and every piece featured in the Institute, but my little sister singing in the shower is also art. It is more than what gains national recognition.
1. learning is to obtain new information.
ReplyDelete2. i was amazed by the size of some of the pieces. like seurats piece. and some of the older european work. i was also amazed by how realistic the portraits of the old pieces looked. and it made me think about how alot of the famous artists like picasso's work wasnt considered art. and now i really get why they didnt consider it art. it was because everything was portraits that all looked so realistic. i loved being able to see famous pieces up close and seeing the texture of the paintings and the brush strokes.
answer #1
ReplyDeletei think that learning is when you experience something new which influences or affects you enough to change your perspective.
answer #2
the thing that struck me most was seeing the guitarist painting by picasso. it completely changed my perspective on it when i saw it up close and personal because then i could see the brushstrokes and the texture and i guess it changed the painting for me.
Learning happens all the time. Everyday you learn all kinds of things. Every time a new idea is introduced you are learning something new.
ReplyDeleteI saw some really cool pieces at the museum yesterday. What I really loved and took with me from the museum was the use of color. I loved seeing the colors in real life and seeing how much more vivid they were. I also loved seeing the different uses of color and seeing colors go together that I would not normally think of putting together. It really inspired me to try new things with mixing and placing color in my future pieces.
What is learning?? I don't think there is really a wrong or right answer to this question... I think that learning is something that you experience throughout your whole life. You learn at school, at church, through your friends, and family. You can learn something new everyday. I don't necessarily think that you only learn in school, I think you learn something in just everyday life. I actually think that you can learn some of the most valuable things outside of school sometimes. Learning is an everyday part of every single persons life.
ReplyDeleteThe one thing that hit me the most was being able to be in the presence of something that was made by a great artist. Seeing the strokes of their pens, or brushes, the click of their cameras or the sculpting of their clay. The fact that these great artists like monet, picasso, caulder and Serat touched and made the artworks that were standing in front of us blew my mind! It was just a really amazing experience for me to see so many ideas and so much inspiration in one building, accessible for us to see and be inspired by.
Just today i have a conversation with petterson about the difference between learning and insperation. I think you get inspired by something and then it makes you want to learn more about it... or even you can go for a walk and be inspired by what you see, making you ask more questions about it, taking in more as you go.
ReplyDelete1. Learning is gaining knowledge that you didn't have before. Not even just knowledge, but new or deeper understanding, information, insight, skill.
ReplyDelete2. So, I didn't go to the Art Institute yesterday, BUT I have been inspired recently. For example, the moon was really bright and large on Monday morning. It was actually nice that I couldn't drive that morning because I could stare at the sky during the whole drive instead. Then, there was blue sky, so I kept staring at the sky throughout the day. It reminded me that the world is bigger than myself. Even more, it reminded me that God is creative because he makes bright moons and curly clouds that shine in the sunlight. That makes me want to use my creativity.
1) I think that learning is exploring new things and trying to understand them. I think that learning is looking and seeing and then thinking and trying to understand.
ReplyDelete2) I liked the Joseph Cornell boxes!! I loved how minimalistic they are but the arrangement and objects make you think more about the piece. I think that seeing all the art in the museum gave me hope of all the new art that will be made and enjoyed by others. The 11th century Buddhas were so OLD!! And I thought that was cool because they lasted through more life than any of us have experienced.
1. Learn: (verb) gain or acquire knowledge of or skill in (something) by study, experience, or being taught. Definition brought to you by the dashboard dictionary : D
ReplyDeleteSo, yeah... I'd lean towards the acquire knowledge definition because it sounds cool and because that sounds right. We're learning all the time, so there isn't that much that isn't learning in some way or another. Some learning isn't as...well...good as others. Or useful, but it's still learning. I learned how to walk is revolutionary. I learned how to get to class faster by taking the mainstreet route isn't so much, but it's still something.
2. So... all my fun notes are at home on my kitchen table, but... For sure that blurry lady you could see better from a distance blew my mind! Also, I wanted to play with oil paints again so bad. And... um there was more I just can't recall.
What is learning? This is a question that has always rocked my brain. You'd think that after twelve years of education I'd know what learning is. Unfortunately the years of high school have darkened my knowledge of what learning is. You see I am absolutely terrible at school. It seems like society thinks it has learning all figured out. The whole world revolves around education and yet there is still illiteracy and high school drop outs. I honestly have no idea what it is exactly. Ironically I hope to learn what learning is one day. All i know is that it has something to do with experience, communication, and retaining information. I do not think it has ANYTHING to do with the teacher.
ReplyDelete!. Learning is the gaining of knowledge in a particular area through information and experiences, and then being able to apply it effectively.
ReplyDelete2. Inspiration is the application of knowledge, but with a passion / want / need to react to what was learned...
I was inspired by the progression of the art through the different time periods and how each time period seem to bring about another thought, or idea, on how to express art. The different categories really seemed to hit me especially...
Though, specifically, I was inspired by the Architecture and Design section. A lot of the 'pieces' seemed to be doodles of buildings and ideas (i wouldn't have been surprised to see a napkin). I also really enjoyed the different figure drawings and paintings... and I liked the contemporary section...
...I liked it ALL, it's hard for me to pin down any specific thing that jumped out at me more than another...
...I was jumped at A LOT!
I think that learning is when we get information about a subject and we expand on it, we figure out more about it and it leads to other things. I think that sometimes when we learn about things that we find interesting then we tend to learn more, because its enjoyed, rather then learning about something that we don't like, because then i think it sort of goes in one ear and out the other.
ReplyDeleteI think that a few things really hit me about what i saw at the mueseum yesterday. The first thing was the Georgia O'Keeffe paintings. They were really inspiring to me because she does a lot of focus on nature, and especially on flowers. I love flowers, and thats what my whole concentration piece is about, so it was cool to see that an artist who is like, big time focused on something just like i did. The second thing that really hit me was the old sculptures of the gods of India. I thought that it was really interesting how we learn about that stuff in our classes, and to actually see it, and to see how much their religion matters to them and how they modeled so much of their art after the gods and how much time and effort they put into each tiny detail of each sculpture.
1. Learning is more than being taught, but the incorporation of the knowledge by the learner. I think learning requires experience, an authoritative source, perhaps a bit of studying of what is trying to be learned. Learning involves improvement over time.
ReplyDelete2. I feel like I gained an increased appreciation for artists whose work ends up in a museum, but they aren't as well known as the couple dozen artists whose name most average people recognize. I spent a bit of time in the American Art, and really looked at a couple of pieces that aren't as well known. It also made me wonder what makes certain pieces or artists receive such attention, while others do not.
What hit me? The size and power of the legendary artists. Then i wondered if the size/power was necessary to be legendary?
ReplyDelete1. I think Learning is when you take something new or something new about the old and store it into the files of your mind to use later in life.
ReplyDelete2. What hit me was zooming in and seeing each individual brush stroke, and actually seeing the individual effort that goes into creating a big picture. Just seeing the individual strokes the the painter painted to get the big picutre. It is so cool!!! :)
