CONTEXTS
Explore interpretations of ‘reality’ in relation to psychological, historical and socio-cultural art contexts. Explore the questions associated with each by thinking through the possibilities in your visual diary.

Reality: is the state of things as they actually exist, rather than as they may appear or may be thought to be.[1] In its widest definition, reality includes everything that is and has being, whether or not it is observable or comprehensible.

resemblance to what is real.

something that constitutes a real or actual thing, as distinguished from something that is merely apparent.

I think this is Psychological version of reality as it is more clinical or the right way and i think in art when reality is captured it is almost confronting as we don't think about reality often. I think in a socio-cultural/ socio-political prospective reality in art also confronting its what we might no want to face or we cannot understand and we are confronted with it in art. I think reality in art through a historical prespective is something that was one socio-cultural/ socio-political prospective that was captured and it has over time become historical reality.


The Psychological Context explored through levels of consciousness.
~ autobiographical representation – capturing ‘reality’, do the senses tell the truth, mindfulness
~ versions of self using a subjective frame – expression using insights from sensory stimulus
~ artist exposed through symbol (colour, object, expression)
~ externalising the internal

I think that in a Psychological Context i think i might connect to the versions of self using a subjective frame – expression using insights from sensory stimulus more as i think it just flows with my work. Its weird I cant explain it.
