Art History - week 4 readings - 4/03/2019

-




















My thoughts on this reading of "Art and the Maori Construction of Reality" by Allan Hanson. I think that this discuses and very good point of communication in art and how it communicates. Though I do think that this could have been more in depth and further developed to discuss why and how Mario art is a form of communications and the means and how they used it to communicated and what they were communicating and how?
I do think she has very valid points in this though it is very bland explanation if these points, as all art is a form of communication. Though Mario art is a completely different form of communication, as the art is to communicate stories and myths, but also who they are and were they are form, what they do.
