Throughout the history of the art culture, images possess a power message or meaning. These can been seen in any sort of scale, during this lecture, the lecturer Richard Miles presented. He introduced the broad range of visual communication from cultures, contexts and epochs. He further deepened into how creative an tangential connections and continuities can be traced between the many diverse examples of art pieces/photography/adverts etc. This could be and yet provide me with a visual resource which could help me answer creatively some briefs given to me. The lecture also introduce some philosophical and theoretical approaches to visual communication that society can develop over the next years. Finally understanding the power of visual communication overall.
The first image that Richard presented us was called "Lascaux caves, France". The image of the cave art from 20,000 years ago intrigued me, especially with the help of furthering knowledge from Richard, gave me a deeper understanding of the left behind image of history. The way the cave art has been photographed is truly extraordinary, as seen in the photograph the amount of detail of the cave art during that year was so artistic and creative. Not only the cave has left an amazing piece artwork, but it has also left the story of history behind for many people who enjoy history and art. Also the way they created the idea of drawing/painting animals on the cave walls is really fascinating, at that time there was no such thing as paper, pencil and pens. But how the creators use their equipment in their surrounding to indent their work on the cave walls. Thus documenting history for todays era to comprehend from the knowledge they know in the teachings f society. Another interesting part of the lecture was when Richard showed another cave art of just plainly a lot of dots on the cave walls, he explained how they did this because of the way they see things with their eyes. For example, the way how light goes in our eyes and forms dots of lights, thus highlighting the unconsciousness of them producing art and the hallucination of their eyes create for them.
The next artwork shown was by Cy Twombly (2001) Lepanto, panels of 12. Which is just a big canvas with a splashes of red and yellow. Here it highlights it is an abstract impressionistic, that these splashes of colours weren't randomly placed, they have a deeper meaning.
Another art piece is by "Richard Long (1989) 'Red Earth Circle', Magiciens de la Terre, Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris". Or its called "Magicians of the World" here the picture demonstrates a luminous ring shape which sparkles. This artwork depicts a magical atmospheric scenery, as though it symbolises the sun in the sky, shining its radiance.
Next piece of artwork is called "CULT VALUE - see Benjamin (1936) 'The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction. Rothko Chapel, Houston, Texas, opened 1971".
