For the first step of this project, I interviewed my mother Maria, the Jewel Pharmacist, and Senora Wright a Glenbrook South Spanish teacher. When I interviewed them I asked them three questions: How have peoples' interests changed from the last century until now? What are some things that people worry about nowadays? Where do people look for inspiration? when you look at art, what are some traits about it that make it good or bad? When my interviewees had responded I was almost surprised by their responses. The big problem that they said was being most talked about was the economy and how things will play out for their families’ future. Since the last century many things have changed. Humans are found more dependent on others and other “materials”, rather than my selves. However, things have stayed the same such as going out to the movies, shopping and, getting together with family. When I asked them the last question, what makes art good or bad they responded with an answer like: someone who takes the time and effort to portray a message to their viewers.
Overall, I believe that individuals enjoy seeing art that is beautiful and enjoyable to view. This is a great example of what individuals enjoy about art and what is most appealing to them. The little techniques used to create an image truly inspire its viewers. This thought however does show us how art has changed over the last century. People are interested to different types of art form, due to our type of life styles nowadays. I feel people are now waiting for the next thing to happen and the only way for that is through art.
