YSON, Gleichel Maera G.
“How you view an artwork tells more about you than the work of art”. In my own understanding, this quotation means that I as viewer of an artwork has my own interpretation and way of appreciation of a particular art. Everyone has different opinion thus, we have our own view of perfection. We view art depending on how we see it, depending on the life we are living. How you are raised by your parents, the people that surrounds you, the culture that you have affect you in viewing or criticizing an artwork. This means that how you view an art delineates more about yourself . How you view an art can tell what your mood is, it can also tell what do you prefer more, how you see colors and its meaning. Simply, art has the power to tell your perception in life.
Art gives color to my life. How I perceived art work depends on my mood, the place, and what is going on with my life. For instance, an abstract with red, pink, and yellow colors. I can say that the author is happy and it symbolizes love and peace. On the other hand, some people would see it the other way around. However, no one can say what is wrong or what is right. Art is freedom, it lets us think and say what we want. In connection to real life, how you see the appearance of the people doesn’t give the hint what is going on with his life you have to think deeper and know the story behind. My life is like a rainbow. It is colorful which represents my ups and down. There comes a time that I will encounter problems but I know that there’s always a rainbow after the rain.
