I personally really enjoyed reading Knowledge and the arts by Eric T. MacKnight I thought the poem was very interesting with a lot of depth and strong opinions. Reading this really made me think more about how I see art in everyday life. At the start I kinda agreed with idea that things like math science feel more important however this text really makes me realize how much value art has. It really makes me think how art is nor just something you look at but also a way to express emotions and ideas that can be hard to put in words. Another part I found very interesting is the Romantic theory this is because it shows that art can connect people through emotions even if they don’t know the artist personally. The text really shows how personal art can be and how much of an effect it can have on us. Another thing I found in this text was that art truthfully can mean anything in a way everything is a form of art. One of my favourites quotes which is not in this text is ” what is this world without art just a rock” This really relates to the message the text is saying. Another thing that I found interesting was The ice creme story which really stuck with me because it’s really funny on the surface but deep down it shows something real about how we make choices. Sometimes we go for the ” Mr Softee option”e.g., (p.7) easy familiar comfortable even when we know it’s not the highest quality. However other times we want something richer something that asks more of us. Overall reading this text made me appreciate that art is not just entertainment but part of how we understand ourselves.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
