LEARNING TO APPRECIATE NOT JUST ‘LIKE OR DISLIKE’
Art can be more than just something we ‘like’.
• Art can be something we ‘appreciate’.

• Social perceptions (fame and notoriety) • Critical writings • Art market • Cultural bias • Cultural context • Object context • Artist’s biography or autobiography

The Circus by Georges Seurat , oil on canvas, 185x152 cm. France, 1890-1891. Paris, Musée D'Orsay
• What makes this painting interesting?
• When we look at it, what do we see that makes us look more closely?
• What do we want to know that brings this work to like?

SIMPLE VERSUS COMPLEX
• I ‘like the colors’ • I like the theme, it’s ‘fun’
and makes me ‘happy’ • The clown in the front
seems to set everything off balance and make it even more ‘circus-like’
• We talk about the dynamic perspective.
• mimicking compositional devices borrowed from Japanese Edo Prints like this Samurai image
• We talk about his use of complimentary colors, demonstrating his interest in optics and physics.

YOU DON’T HAVE TO LIKE IT FOR IT TO BE GOOD!
• Sometimes ‘Good Art’ deals with ‘Bad things’ or Ugly things.
• Appreciation depends upon the ability to move beyond visceral response

Damien Hirst. For Boys and Girls 1989-1992 Do you ‘like’ the colors? Do you ‘like’ the butterflies? Do you ‘dislike’ the colors? Do you ‘dislike’ the butterflies? What if I told you that they are real butterflies that he embedded in paint. Do you still like it? Is it a bit macabre? A bit creepy?
