#John berger ways of seeing episode 3 full

Just restocked these lovely little Temporary Tattoo SheetsвЂ¦which leads me nicely to the #meetthemaker prompt вЂWhere elseвЂ™вЂ¦.

At #fargo today till 17:00 for the Christmas Makers Market drop by to say hello and squeeze in some Christmas shopping рџҐірџ¤©.

Happy to say weвЂ™re at 21 weeks now вЂ“ crazy times to be pregnant but wonвЂ™t let it steal our joy! Baby Archer No 2 due in AugustвЂ¦.

Bit of an odd scan photo as itвЂ™s just the head but I figured itвЂ™s still exciting! IвЂ™ve been fairly quiet in terms of making new things for my shop.IвЂ™ve been growing a human whilst running around after a toddlerвЂ¦.

Today we live in a world where social media means dialogue between artists, musicians, businesses and consumers is becoming increasingly possible. Interestingly Berger also comments on the fact that it was not possible to have direct dialogue with him about the programme, he was in control of the perspective shared. What might become part of our language is jealously guarded and kept within the confines of an art expert.вЂќ вЂњFor instance, the art book depends upon reproductions, yet often what the reproductions make accessible, a text begins to make inaccessible. He captures a feeling I have often felt when seeing art through an art book It sums up visual language in an accessible way. I particularly liked this comment вЂњImages can be used like words, we can talk with themвЂќ. ItвЂ™s possible but involves a considerable amount of concentration.

Sometimes looking at images alongside each other, can feel like trying to focus on one persons distinct voice in the middle of a loud crowd.

How much more does this issue apply to viewing art work on platforms like instagram or Pinterest where you can see painting after painting, the eye and brain become full of so many visual messages. He makes comment on how we interpret meaning of images when we see them alongside other images for instance in a magazine, they vie for attention. And I agree with this, music itself speaks has a connotation or feeling which can be used to manipulate our feelings towards an image or even an event.

He also makes note of the use of music to accompany the viewing of a work of art changes the feeling or meaning of the piece we are viewing. When we look at a painting in person it exists as a whole piece, when we view it by film or television we see it viewed in stages and fragments through a sequence of time. We are at the mercy of the areas chosen to be focussed on and we lose sight of the painting or work before us as a whole. The issue of silence вЂ“ paintings do not speak, they are silent, he claims this makes them easily pray to manipulation but the movement of the camera, or movement of our thoughts/eye. What meaning do reproductions acquire when we hang them on our walls at home? вЂќ A lot more is possible, but only is art is stripped of the false mystery and the false religiosity which surrounds it.вЂќ It comes to you, this meaning, like the news of an event. ItвЂ™s meaning ,or a large part of it has become transmittable. вЂњThe meaning of a painting no longer resides on itвЂ™s unique painted surface, which it is only possible to see in one place at one time. It is the image of the painting which travels now.вЂќ As I watched I made some notes of phrases that stood out to me, or my responses to his ideas, these arenвЂ™t arranged as an essay merely an arrangement of thoughts for my own reference. IвЂ™ve just watched the first episode of Ways of Seeing by John Berger.
