The thing that i most took from this learning unit was the ability to decipher between form and content. Looking at pictures and different art sculptures in the past, reminded me of music that i would hear. I would get into little arguments with my wife about the supposed meaning of the song. After reading the chapter and listening to the lecture it just shows you that each song, or work of art can be interpreted in so many different ways. Two or more people can look at something and get something totally different out of it. To me that makes art alot more interesting.
So far the Spiral Jetty by Robert Smithson has been the most relevant to me. I like that it is made out of earth and that it is changing everyday, even in the smallest manner. What really struck me most about this one is that it disappeared under the lake for a few years and reemerged as a totally different sculpture. It had gone from a man made looking creation to something that had become part of the earth.
