The power to look by art Institute of Chicago

The tree categories of Intellectual Standard that I guessed mach this video are : depth , significance and fairness. It  showed  every little details on all 3 different art which are connected with one main idea: to reveal a  history .Yoruba Crown from Nigeria , west Africa , Gustave Caillebotte , Paris Street ; Rainy Day and Cindy Sherman , Untitled # 92 .

The Yoruba Crown which describes how some king of Africa is so powerful, the video showed us every details that is attached to the story of the crown and it was meaningful .It gives a deep sense  to the viewer to realise exactly what the sculpture was about .

looking at people well suite in  the street and others working class on the background  describes how the modern life was in the end of 19s centuries . Even if it looks like normal , there is a complex ideology of the life  style of those people. And the paint art can tell us .

Ms Sherman  in Untitled  film still #92  showed how somebody at the same time could be part of its creativity. She was the one who direct her casting and play female roles in the movie also.

In addition all those tree description have one objective which is to tell a story . And those stories were been told in every details which  give the topic a significant sense with a profound explanation .

why art matters

Behind every artwork , there is a meaningful idea or message  which , the Artist or the art itself expresses to the viewer .Observing “Why art matters  “, just increase my perspective in term of how art  helps in society. When we’re looking at an artwork , we make up ideas on  what we are seeing and answer question such as what is that mean in reality. It really help because through it , we can understand  things that have already gone . It also can  permit people to dig and better explain some history. Everything is all about what we saw . That why there is Police motor which says ” If you see something, Say something “. We love more watching than listening.  That is why popular people  have a lot of followers. It is just to see what they’re  showing the viewers. Art is part of our daily life , everywhere we go , we see, observe, analyse  and at the and deduct our conclusion that helps us .Even if we  said artwork can’t cover everything ,we must notice that it plays a huge role . What will we be interested at if we don’t have artwork on  this earth?
