Title

Toward an Integrative Theory for Understanding Art Discourses

Subject

How people view art

Description

This is an experiment from some students in the University of Illinois. The students had different people from different professions (fine art teacher, art therapist, and social worker) and had them all independently make comments on some student's artwork.

By doing so, we can see that each person had a different comment for each piece, sometimes each comment were about completely different things. This is extremely important if we contrast this to what people consider is important about other more well-known art pieces like the Mona Lisa or Guernica. There is no consensus on the piece and each person has their own thoughts.
