Aesthetic Theory with Meg Salazar and Rex Seiple | Ep 11

<p><strong>About the Episode</strong></p><p>Art can seem elusive, and so many of us feel unequipped to pass judgment on an artwork. One of the most powerful tools in artistic analysis is aesthetic theory. The practice of using aesthetic theories can help us first classify the function of an artwork. After we classify the function, then we can more confidently determine the success. This episode walks listeners through the more common aesthetic theories and applies them to some of our favorite artworks.</p><p><br /></p><p>Imitationalism<br />Symbolism<br />Emotionalism<br />Formalism<br />Instrumentalism<br />Institutionalism<br />Artists/Artworks Referenced:<br />Michelangelo<br />John James Audubon<br />Yosemite Valley by Ansel Adams<br />Nighthawks by Edward Hopper<br />I and the Village by Marc Chagall<br />The Last Supper by Leonard DaVinci<br />Persistence of Memory by Salvador Dali<br />The Scream by Edvard Munch<br />Andrew Wyeth<br />Passing Storm over the Sierra Nevadas by Albert Bierstadt<br />Edgar Degas<br />Paul Cézanne<br />Piet Mondrian<br />Wassily Kandinsky<br />Migrant Mother by Dorothea Lange<br />Fountain by Marcel Duchamp<br />Campbell's Soup Cans by Andy Warhol<br />Shibboleth by Doris Salcedo<br />Comedian by Maurizio Cattelan</p><p><strong>Connect with Liberty Common School:</strong></p><ul><li>Liberty Common School Website: <a href="https://www.libertycommon.org/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.libertycommon.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></li><li>Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/LibertyCommonSchool/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/LibertyCommonSchool/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></li><li>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/libertycommonschool/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/libertycommonschool/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></li><li>YouTube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/libertycommonschool" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/libertycommonschool</a></li></ul><p><br /></p>
