Essay Problem: Preferred Theme
Visit an art exhibition, or peruse the textbook, and choose an artwork you particularly like, for whatever aesthetic reason, and would enjoy displaying in your home. After identifying the theme, write a personal reflection on why you prefer this theme in art. Consider who you are as a person, your hobbies, beliefs and career goals. How do your life experiences affect your choice of theme? For example, if you are an avid camper, then nature or genre might be your preferred theme.
The second half of this problem is to identify a theme in art that you do not care for. Rationalize why works of this theme do not appeal to you (but may to someone else).
