For this assignment, share and discuss your work with your peers and tutor via the Your Perspective Forum below. Engage with the following questions within the forum and summarise your discussions within your Learning Log.
- How might your perspective on the world impact your creative practice?
- What can creative outcomes say about the practitioner’s perspective on the world?
Use this Forum to introduce yourself and share your ideas and opinions on the themes presented during this project. Discuss ideas with your peers concerning the theme of perspective and open conversations about the importance of recognising and understanding multiple perspectives on the world.
When you have completed your work for this assignment and used the forums please progress straight onto Project 2.
Student Community: Share and Discuss
Also, use this point in your studies to begin sharing ideas and questions with the broader student community, both with your peers within this course unit forums and Creative Arts Studio, working proactively to seek feedback and conversation alongside spending time working on the course materials.
My perspective on the world
My perspective on the world can significantly impact my creative practice. How I view the world and my experiences can shape the ideas I generate and how I express them through my work. For instance, if I have a positive outlook on the world, I may tend to create bright, colourful, and optimistic art. On the other hand, when I have a memorable perspective, I may create darker and more introspective pieces of work. It’s interesting to explore how our perspectives on the world influence our creative output and how we can use our artwork to communicate these perspectives to others. To summarise, there is a constant interaction with the world around me, giving material, food for thought and a reason to be more creative: a reason to express myself.
What can creative outcomes say about the practitioner’s perspective on the world
Artists have a unique way of expressing their thoughts, emotions, and beliefs about various aspects of life through their creative outputs. These creative outcomes can provide insights into the artist’s perspective on the world, their personal experiences, values, and worldview. However, interpreting and understanding these creative outcomes are not solely the artist’s responsibility. The audience plays a crucial role in this process, bringing their own perspectives, experiences, and values to the artwork, thereby enriching its meaning. For instance, an artist who creates abstract art may have a different worldview than an artist who creates realistic portraits. Still, it is the audience’s interpretation that completes the artistic dialogue. Other artists’ distinct perspectives and experiences further enrich the diversity of artistic expression. Thus, the creative outcomes of artists can reveal a great deal about their perspectives and contribute to the richness of artistic expression, with the audience’s participation being a vital part of this process.
