subject refers to the visual focus or the image that may be extracted from examining
the artwork.
DISCUSSION
Types of Subjects
In gaining the basics of deciphering the subject and content of art, it is hoped
that an individual's sensitivity and perceptiveness to art will be developed. As was
discussed in the chapter, one may begin by looking at perceivable features of the
artwork. Taking note of what is apparent will provide clues as to what the intended
meaning of the artist might be. Knowing more about the context of its creation—from
the artist's inspiration, reference or source, will prove useful in understanding the
meaning of the artwork. However, one must forget that each viewer is armed with his
or her experience, background and education. These will assist in fleshing out different
levels of meaning that maybe derived from the artwork. These might not be as evident
as say, the figures depicted on the surface; however, these alternative readings
contribute to the significance of the artwork.
