A Strong Argument


I wrote three papers so far about my theme, art. The Reflection, Observing, and Analysis papers have all helped to strengthen the argument I will be making in my next paper.

My Reflection paper has helped my argument because I got the idea to persuade people by using my own personal stories. In my Reflection paper I reminisced on my prime art years and what I first learned. I will try to incorporate the story from my past when I first saw Salvador Dali's painting The Persistence of Memory as a young child and what it meant to me at that stage of my life.

I found this spontaneous kid drawing at http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Kid_art_2.jpg.

My Observation paper will be a big help in my argument paper because I learned all the Elements of Art while writing that paper. I can explain in my argument how some people may judge paintings based on the Elements of Art, but it does not always have to happen that way. You can judge a painting however you'd like.



This painting found at http://www.abstractartgallery.net/waving_enlarged.html is free to be interpreted however you please.



My Analysis paper will be the biggest help in creating my argument. I observed Dali's painting from multiple view points and discovered how other people believe The Persistence of Memory should be viewed. I can use this information to persuade people that I am not at all ignorant when it comes to knowing different ways to view the painting. I can continue to explain that these view points are not wrong but I have the freedom to view his painting in my own way.

Found at http://blog.makezine.com/archive/2007/02/jen_starks_paper_sculptur.html, some people might look at Jen Stark's paper sculpture and think "Why spend so much time just cutting paper?", but I think "Why not?"
