1. What are the important things the viewer or audience must consider to derive
meaning from the artwork?
I think that a lot of people like to make rash decisions on artwork. When we first see them,
I like to compare this sort of appraisal of how we "scale up" individuals. Do we judge
individuals based on first experiences, at the snapshot in time, giving no thought to the
situations affecting their lives? Hopefully not; however, since they do not draw any
immediate significance or plot line from it, people have no trouble ignoring an artwork
outright. Others reject artwork on the basis of whether or not it is pretty.
