Barrett Connote/Denote
The author shares us the fact that we interpret the images and designed objects by using our own life experience. The interpretation comes from the world we live. On the other hand, the interpretation helps to build the world and to make things we create valuable. Because children also have experiences, even though they can not know the meaning of connotation and denotation, they can still get what the images and the objects try to convey.
The second example is kind of wield. Those students excavate too much about the front paper making the example ambiguous.
Walker Big Idea
Big ideas can offer meanings to art making. Big ideas can make the art objects profound. I agree with the idea that the big ideas always come from the artist's personal interest and personal experiences. The author discusses the difference among big ideas, theme and subject matter--"subject matter serves as the context for examining the big idea. Same big idea can have different subject matter." Theme can not only be the same as the big idea but also be a small part of the big idea.
I understand this article well. However, I don't think the undergraduate art-education student is wrong when he did not get the artist's big ideal . I think everyone can interpret an object in their own way.
