Study Notes

Soul-Making (Artmaking)

  • Art is more than creating beautiful images; it's about expressing deeper meanings and connecting experiences with the world.
  • This module explores crafting images, stories, and the da Vinci principles, considering cultural appropriation.

Crafting Images and Stories

  • Artistic expression uses shapes, colors, and forms to convey emotions, ideas, and messages without words.
  • Methods include: composition, symbolism, mood, and focus.
  • Crafting stories involves characters, plots, and settings to convey a clear narrative.
  • The approaches vary based on mediums and artistic intent (e.g., literature, film, performance).
  • Art combines visuals and narrative for enhanced meaning.

Seven da Vinci Principles

  • Leonardo da Vinci's seven principles guide artists in soul-making.
  • Curiosity (Curiosità): A desire to learn and explore new ideas (e.g., "what if," "how come").
  • Demonstration (Dimostrazione): Practicing learned skills and sharing knowledge. Da Vinci tested through experience and learning from mistakes.
  • Sensation (Sensazione): Enhancing senses for a more profound understanding of the world ("The five senses are the ministers of the soul").
  • Sfumato: Embracing ambiguity, uncertainty, and exploring opposing viewpoints.
  • Art/Science (Arte/Scienza): Combining artistic expression and scientific understanding for overall balance and comprehensive thinking (e.g., rational/creative).
  • Corporalità (Physicality): Using the body to enhance art; physical presence in art; maintaining optimal physical condition.
  • Connection (Connessione): Recognizing interconnectedness of all things. "Everything comes from everything, and everything is made of everything, and everything returns into everything."

Five Acts of Cultural Appropriation

  • Cultural appropriation occurs when artists borrow elements from another culture without understanding or respecting the cultural context.
  • Possible harmful outcomes include reinforcing stereotypes and trivializing cultural significance.
  • Misrepresentation of cultural symbols: Using symbols from other cultures without understanding their significance. (e.g., Native American headdresses in fashion)
  • Commercialization of cultural art forms: Using cultural art forms for profit without compensating original artists or communities.
  • Stereotyping through art: Portraying cultures in a simplified or exaggerated way. (e.g., portraying all Asian cultures through martial arts)
  • Exploitation of traditional techniques: Borrowing traditional techniques without acknowledging the original culture's significance.
  • Lack of collaboration and consent: Creating art from other cultures without acknowledging or engaging with the original culture (lack of respect and power imbalance).

Ownership in Art

  • Artists have rights over their work, including how it is used.
  • Advocates emphasize the need for recognition and respect for artistic work.
