Seven Principles

Paul Duncum article about the "new" Seven Principles of Visual Culture Education.

I liked some of the new principles that are presented in this article. Most all the principles, I feel that they overlap and relied too much on the others. For example, I really like the idea at looking at the visual objects in a culture that relate to the Principle of Representation. But Representation needs to include the principles of Ideology, Sedution and Gaze. A viewer is going to view something differently depending on their personal background and relationship to the object being viewed. All of these principles intertwine within the others. The traditional Principles of art education intertwine within each other too. We wouldn't have balance or space, without line or value. Right? I guess I am trying to say that I am at a neutral opinion when it came to this article. Nothing really jumped out to catch my attention and on the other hand, nothing upset me as much as the Kamhi article.
