A piece of art is a man-made creation made for the purpose of communicating truths, feelings, or ideas.
What do you know via Art as an Area of Knowledge? Give a specific example to support your response.
I think that the Knowledge Area of Art can help you to learn more about yourself. In creating art, you can take what is inside of you (feelings, thoughts, ideas...) and bring them into the material world in order to examine them. By examining your art, you can gain a lot of knowledge about how you really feel, or what you value or maybe it will trigger an idea you weren't conscious you had. For example, I once decided to paint a barn scene. As I began to sketch out my ideas, I realized that the scene I was thinking of was the view at the beginning of one of my favorite movies. Through this, I was reminded of something I valued. After the painting was completed, I was also able to look at it and learn more about myself. I liked the colors in the painting and that way that the sun came through the trees. I could tell that I liked nature. The overall tone of the piece was calm and peaceful. Because I liked the piece, I could tell that I liked peace and calm. Other people could learn about themselves in similar ways.
