- 3 - TOLERANCE
- Three Components : Objection, Acceptance and Rejection.
- Is a liberal, pluralistic, tolerant society a good one?
- An individual is not tolerant if they are indifferent, weak (not in a position to object) or indulgent.
- What constitutes individual tolerance? Co-existence, permission, respect, esteem?
- 4 -WHY DO WE VALUE ART?
- INFORMATISM - Art illuminates our experience, articulates a vision, portrays authentically, represents it's subject convincingly or faithfully.
- EXPRESSIONISM - art is moving or captures a mood or feeling. Do we value the artists' self expression or are our own responses to the art the focus of our appreciation?
- FORMALISM - It affords a peculiar aesthetic enjoyment of 'form' : balance, structure, proportion, harmony, wholeness, 'significant form'.
