From Walker's article Big Ideas and Artmaking, I learnt big ideas are important for professional artists, also big ideas can engage students to think deeper. Sometimes subject is same as big idea, but sometimes subjects is different from big idea. The article gives a example of Jennifer Bartlett to illustrate this idea. Gardens are subjects in her work, but her big idea is rules and systems. Additionally, in my perspective, big idea is also a essential part in our real daily life, like writing a paper needs big ideas for a student.
I cannot understand Jennifer Baetlett's work that inserted in the article, and I just cannot feel the same way as the article said. I even cannot tell she drew a garden. I think I need to try to appreciate art works and try to understand them.
From the second article from Barrett talked about interpreting visual art. He started from denotations and connotations in visual art. A example of an advertisement for Panzani spaghetti products was shown how the artist interpret connotations. Michael Ray Charles's paintings were been deconstructed by teachers, students and even preschool children in this article.
In my own opinions, I am more comfortable with students' interpret conclusion of the cover of rolling stone magazine. On the contrary, I do not fully understand the teachers' conclusion, and I feel the teachers' view is deeper and more complicated. I am also surprised by that even kindergarten students can get some massage from painting, which is really amazing.
