This week we played around with the idea of being selective. From choosing perspectives to taking what you think an author may and or may not be saying, it's all up to you. By being selective, you can't just take every thought or idea on a work of literature, and call it good. Some of the ideas clash, and don't make sense with each other. There is also the fact that some of the ideas that come into people's mind can be arguably wrong, or less accepting than that of other ideas. This method does not specifically apply to just literature. It can apply to art, music and dancing. Basically whatever you like. That idea of perspective wasn't necessarily new to me, because I don't usually take many stances on art. Once I make up a perspective for myself that is usually what I tend to stick to. We then looked at a few works of art this week, and we got to share our ideas with the groups we sat at. Now, instead of applying that idea to ourselves, we had to work with our group to agree on one set perspective. We all had slightly different ideas on the art we were shown, but we worked through our ideas together and produced the most plausible, or likely meaning. It was a lot harder to keep that same "selective" ideal once it was not just ourselves anymore, and not one other person, but three people. https://www.quora.com/What-is-art-to-you-What-does-it-mean-and-why-do-we-need-itwww.quora.com/What-is-art-to-you-What-does-it-mean-and-why-do-we-need-it. This article is a good read on what an author or artist is trying to communicate when they make one of their works, and I feel it is a great way to wrap up what we learned this week.
