informed observer- spent time and energy needed to educate themselves so that their exposure to art will be meaningful.
Art and Beauty
beauty is subjective, personal taste leads you to reject things that might be beautiful to others.
its assumed that the artist's proper aim is the creation of beauty
artists could be aiming at something other than conventional beauty
Naive art- made by people who are unsophisticated, lacking in formal art training, direct and fresh in their approach to art.
illusionistic- images so natural they trick us into believing they are real.
trompe-l'oeil (fool the eye) - extreme of illusionism
stylized- when it shows certain features of a natural form exaggerated in a special way.
Nonrepresentational art- simply shapes and sometimes colors
