CD Cover Project Wrap Up
What makes for engaging CD Cover?
I think there are many things that make an engaging CD Cover. The different pieces in the art work need to be unified and the whole cover needs to be hold as simple as possible to not confuse the people who look at it. The CD Cover should have the name of the artist(s) and a title of the album so persons who are interested buy it or at least give it a closer look. The proper use of color and forms makes a CD a more eyecatching in a store. The use of neon colors in connection with "normal" colors should be avoided.
How and Why is art used as a vehicle of communication?
Art is used as an optional vehicle of communication, as another vehicle than just talking or writing. I also think that art is a good way of communication because more then one idea can be displayed in one piece of art. Also, an artwork can be interpreted differently by different people and viewers. Art also is more than a picture or a photo, art can be music, drama and much more. Through art, emotions, feelings and many more things can be communicated and shown that could not be communicated by words.Through art, different perspectives can be explored, respected and appreciated!
To what extent does a work of art depend on the viewer's point of view?
I think that art is always or most of the times seen differently by different viewers or listeners. Different people connect different emotions and feelings with one piece of art. A rose, for example, is a sign of love, but some people might connect love to being hurt so they also connect the rose to being hurt. Art, in my opinion, has the function to make people think differently about a piece of art and in relation to that share impressions, feelings about that piece of art with others that have another point of view.
As a conclusion, I think, art depends on the viewer's point of view most of the time!

Cover Project
The Freshmen worked on creating a cover for their stories that they wrote in Humanities. Since I am a Sophomore, I had another option and I decided to create a CD Cover for an album.
