Visual Arts
In Visual Arts this quarter, I learned about Indonesian artists who expresses their thoughts and thinking through their artworks. I learned that every artist have their own style of expressing their feelings and emotions. This quarter, we are asked to chose two artists and compare their work of art. I chose Affandi and Eko Nugroho. We first had to chose one artwork for each, and do analysis of each. After that, we are asked to make a comparative essay towards those artist. I think that I did well on that because I got an 8 out of 8. On our upcoming big project, we are asked to make an artwork that we ourselves made according to the two artists we chose. The relation of this lesson to Intercultural Awareness is that I am able to gain knowledge from each of Indonesia's influential artists, and that I am able to see what they are trying to say from their artwork. This helps me to realise how important it is to respect artists from Indonesia who has the potential to influence others.
