Change of Mind: Art and Dimension is Everywhere!
To start off by telling the truth, it was fair to say that I was introduced to the idea of modernism and postmodernism in this depth for the first time. When I was introduced to these two different periods of ideas, I felt confused and lost. It introduced me to areas that I didn't pay attention and expected in my daily lives when I was watching or listening to different works of arts starting from TV commercial to the amazing poems that I didn't know the true intent about. However, it was not far from changing completely. In my opinion, the example that helped me in changing my mind was the different type of commercials and movie clips, since it visualized clearly on screen what the different interpretation we can make from the art.
As I mentioned earlier, I started my journey of understanding the meaning of modernism and postmodernism from the far way behind. Although I didn't have a broad knowledge about arts nor commercials, I'm satisfied with how familiar I got with interpreting and understanding the work of art from the point two different periods of ideas. For the understanding, I think that automotive commercials helped me in making a distinction about the two different sides of commercial: Enonomic side and Cultural side. As I continued in understanding, I learned that even though we see things, we might not be looking at what it really is since it has been view thorugh some other media tool and might have been effected and modified. Also, I learned one more important thing from the automotive commercials. The idea that helped me to realize more was that commercial contained many different aspects of art and that style has been considered the most important part due to display the product better and attract consumers. Even though I cannot say that I fully understand modernism and postmodernism, I now have much better understanding and I've improved my understanding from learning.
Mark J,
ReplyDeleteI completely agree with everything you said here. I did not really understand what postmodernism and modernism were. I like how you related to specific examples that made you realize the differnece between modernism and postmodernism. I like how you realized that commmercials contain a lot of differnt aspects of art.
Nice Job Marky J!

I totally can relate to what you have written in this blog post. Modernism and Postmodernism sound like concepts that are really difficult to understand...and I think that's pretty accurate in my case. Just like the automotive commercials helped you understand it a little better, the music and art examples helped me distinguish the different characteristics of the two.
