Key Takeaways

  • I found this chapter to fluctuate in interest since it took a second to fully engage with the reading. However, I found great interest in the concepts of Jaded Knowing and Irony since they look at art that is created with numerous political, social, and or cultural factors. A concept that resonates with the work I am doing for the final was found in the intentionality surrounding the blur between high and low art, which resonates with the work I do and look to do since there is a great deal of “low art” that serves as the base and core of my work and are most in touch with emotions of comfort and warmth. Further, the theme of Pastiche also applies , since there is a deal of combining other elements into the imitative art I tend to have since I implement many other art that influenced myself into my artwork to heighten the feelings of love I have for the art.
