Visual Practitioners are different in terms of communication in a way that they don't have to communicate through words like other careers because in this filed ,object and practical stuff are very important .Therefore what they are showing through drawing is like reflections of thier eyes,they have to convey the object into words in order to be able to send message through viewers.
For example,a photographer would need to have a good communication with his models and tell them to act the certain ways to get the photograph professionally taken.If say there is a communication break down between the two practioner,the work that is produce will not be as successful as they are hoping it to be.Even taking a photo of a house,there need to be a certian way that the lighting is set,object directed in order to make the property looks good.I believe as designer alone won't be successful without communication.
2.Ideological Principles or sets of governing ideas are things that surrounding me,living with the present like how I manage my money that I have been using each day,perhaps just spend with only what I have and not try to be all materialised and follow the society by what they are having as well.
3.Context is the relevant constraints of the communication situation that influence language use and variation.
Does western visual communication have a strong influence over the visual communication of other cultures?
Yes ,I think western visual communication have strong influence than other culture because in western country ,visual communication have a very strong influence in the the way they thought and they always influence other cultures as western artists are willing to face the outcomes and they arent afraid of the consequences .Especially to young people nowadays ,they are being influenced by the western culture from food to technology.People tend to neglect their own traditional culture.Before we return to the western world and take up the story of art in Europe,we must at least cast a glance at what happened in other parts of the world.It is interesting to see how other culture reacted to the ideas of art.
Are Western ideas the only ideas worth studying?
No think it is worth studying but it is also important to study other culture as well because when you get to know other cultures.Like learning languages would be good ideas for anyone who travels to other country ,but learning the other cultures is another good opportunity.When the two are put together ,it can be very helpful in keeping the peace and truly understanding an exchange of ideas.
Can the study of Western ideas help us understand other cultures?In what way?
It can help us understand other cultures in a way how drawings are interpreted through the context of the culture.All the culture are different so I dont think that western ideas would be a big part of learning process.As we are living in globalisation world .it is important to learn about other cultures and implement.Learning about culture or art never ends;to me there are always new things to discover.
I agree with the thought that Western ideas is not the only idea that is worth studying because not only is it a 'good opportunity' to learn other cultures when travelling to different countries, but being able to get a deeper understanding from other cultural view points and ideas that can reflect a whole different cultural philosophy, historical and social ideas which can also be presented in a whole new way in a range of visual communication.
ReplyDeleteBecause western ideas is only one of many other ideas, there is more to explore and to generate ideas and understanding from different cultural aspects which may reflect thoughts and ideas in a total different way.
1. I agree that the western Culture has a stronger influence compeard to other cultural ideas though it is worth looking at other cultural ideas as as it is another perspective of visual comunication. i agree that studying other cultural ideas helps to learn more and have a different perspective of visual communications historically, philospphy and social ideas.
ReplyDeleteknowing knowledge about both worlds would benefit as it gives a wider range of visual ideas.
I believe that Western culture has had a large influence on the East though I also believe that the East has had the same impact our culture. By studying not only Western but Eastern cultures we can challenge the ideas and principles that surround us today. The East provides different religions, philosophies, social structures, and history that in the long run can help us understand visual communication in a larger light.
ReplyDeleteWestern Culture has had a large impact on smaller eastern countries mainly through colonialism and christianity, but in order to understand different concepts behind visual communication we need to study the Eastern Culture.
