SYNTHESIS
The combining of the constituent elements of seperate material of abstract entities into a single or unified entity (opposed to analysis) the separating of any material or abstract entity into its constituent elements.
A complex whole formed by combining.
My process: WHAT/ WHY/ HOW?
1. Analysed the starting quote from within the theme of aesthetics by defining key words and meanings around the issue of taste and power structures.
2. Selection and analysis of sources and texts relating to taste and power structures, focusing on opinions of artists, art critics and theorists to understand the wider issue.
3. Deconstruction of texts and quotes relating to chosen theme, focusing on issues of commercial art vs. the high brow.
4. Collection and selection of imagery - kitsch/ high art/ art in education
5. Triangulation of quotes and ideas, forming an argument regarding the issues of taste and expectations.
6. Drawing similarities between ideas and imagery, starting to unpick existing imagery. Why is high art taught to children? Why is art ridiculed by the kitsch?
7. Responding to observations and ideas through visual research of abstract interpretations of the flux between commercialism and aura, exploring kitsch colour palettes.
8. Exploring the impacts of media and colour on the theories identified in critical writing.
9. Capturing a satirical tone of voice through exploration of language and image.
10. Consideration of an ultimate resolution based on the blurred boundaries between high art cultures, pop culture and the kitsch.
