In the Walker article, I liked the examples of many artists
from real life explaining their big idea, and usual themes. The article tried
to so all the different ways themes and big ideas vary.
But even though the article tried, I still do not understand
the differences and I think the article was confusing and not very clear on
it’s main purpose. This was definitely my least favorite article so far.
The Barrett article was much more interesting to me, because
it tried to denote the subtle references in pictures and advertisements, and
when pointed out, is obvious. Things that are less healthy will try to make
their package seem more “natural”, such as baked Lays or chocolate, which will
display nature or other Earth-grown foods. The stereotypes in everyday life are
described, and how they have many meanings.
I liked this article a lot, because it showed how small
things in everyday life can be viewed differently depending on the context. The
use of certain pictures or colors can evoke many emotions, depending on the
context again. To me, this is quite interesting.
