Art offers an avenue of expression for thought and imagination. By using varied approaches such as different styles, techniques, materials and subject composition, artists invite responses, conjure up fantasies and prompt identification with themes in the artwork.
Artists communicate and engage with their viewers by developing their thoughts, dreams and imagination into artworks.
General Questions
1. How does the artwork explore subjects and themes beyond everyday reality? Think about different movements in art such as Surrealism and Impressionism that derive and combine elements of real life and fantasy.
