“The greatest of
art's virtues is its flexibility - its availability for interpretation - which
creates communication between artist and viewers for an artwork to be valuable.”
After the class
was assigned to make an installation art, many ideas came out of almost
everyone's mind. Lots of topics were raised and suggested. Everyone was so
hyped that it even got to the point of confusion among the class. There was a
great discussion and the planning lasted for almost two days. Our teacher was
then notified by the issue we wanted to convey, yet the two-day plan came to no
avail since our teacher directly saw and identified the issue we wanted to
convey. The “meaning” of our installation art may vary depending on the viewers’
perspectives. That, too, contributes to the challenging part. The planning of
as to how the class should conceal the meaning to the audience for them to be
the ones to identify the issue was extremely hard. But then after we consulted
our teacher, we then knew the things that we should do and we came to conclude
that the plan was final. We had the issue about the influence of media and on
how the media became biased and distorted.
Then the day of
the output making came, everyone were already so busy and contained of the
things that we were doing. Some were assigned for doing certain tasks. Ranging
from the purchasing of materials to the making of certain details for the installation
art. The putting up of the whole output was also a challenging task since we
intended and planned to use rotten vegetables for the representation of the
negative things that the media focuses mainly on. The spoiled vegetables started
turning yellowish, became slimy, and had a foul odor. It started to have a
strong smell; it was hard for us to stick it on the medium since the adhesive
we used did not have that much power to hold it up. The other details though,
after attaching the vegetables, were easier and started to flow smoothly.
Overall, our
installation art was understood in the way we wish it to be. Majority of the
viewers got the message we wanted to convey and accurately identified the issue
being emphasized. There were varieties of interpretations from the viewers, but
those were all close to what we were trying to deliver. The process on making
our art work may have been very challenging; may have caused exertion of too
much effort; may have caused our classroom to be full of the vegetables stench
but, it still came out great and we were very proud of our installation art. The
experience was worth it and this will serve as our inspiration for future projects/tasks
to do.
