Communication in the object of art

The research is traditionally communicated through writing. While face-to-face conversations (or presentations) are not always possible or practical, written documents can be multiplied and distributed fairly easily. They can also be kept, contributing to the building of a shared knowledge base. This study is to draw attention to the potential designed environments have when it comes to the communication of thoughts. Here, objects operate in quite literally different dimensions than the written text, Gröppel-Wegener, A. (2004). In visual art, objects mediate between the idea and meaning. The difficulty for the audience to understand or to get a wealth of art objects is a problem. Effective communication between objects of art with the audience demanded to obtain the same benefits. The knowledge in art and design needs to be communicated by demonstration rather than via precepts. If we follow this line, it leads us to consider the outcomes of art practice as needing to be viewed as ‘objects of knowledge in their own right’. This study is the idea that the conveying of knowledge in art and design needs to be communicated via demonstration rather than via precepts was initially persuasive. This has been reconsidered since recognising that referral to other artists work, both within and outside art education, usually takes the form of studying reproductions and not firsthand experiences of art objects themselves. The direct experience of the art object in fine art is considered in relation to Andrew Benjamin’s book Object Painting. Benjamin sets out to offer his understanding of the contemporary art object and yet begins the book by stating that ‘today the question of the art object seems a distant concern’, Diamond, A. (2004). The study of the culture of a community that we call the audience also needs to be done to understand the nature and requirements of them. Then we can see how they interpret an art object and to garner their understanding of art. Further studies should be done to get the validity of either the object of art is able to communicate effectively to viewers or not. At the same time it can become a medium for sending new knowledge to the society.
