As I said before, the article
Emergent Rules was very difficult for me
to understand and apply. However, thankfully we spent pretty much all of
Wednesday analyzing it and interpreting its meanings. I was vey confused when I
was trying to input architecture into our subject matter, I just didn’t see how
they fit together. But after examining a multitude of picture examples, and hearing
how everyone interpreted them in their own way, things started to become more
clear. The style that proved most helpful in my understanding was the anthropomorphic
style. This was interesting to me because you see this type of art in places,
things, or media from time to time, however I didn’t know it had its own
classification. I begin to think if there were significant examples in history,
and I came up with a few. The first of which was Mount Rushmore. This of course
is the cliffside in which the faces of four past president of the United States
are carved. The purpose of this is to memorialize Democracy, on which this
country was founded, and which these presidents epitomize. Another more drastic
example I thought of was the “Shark Mouth Bomber” planes of WWII. These were
plans flown in combat of WWII with depictions on the front on the plane
creating an anthropomorphic shark. The reasoning behind this was to evoke the
emotions of fear and panic which sharks are known to induce do to their
ferocious looks and reputation. I believe now that it is important not only why
an artist creates meaning in their work, but also the emotions, which they
evoke. This notion has helped me understand how this information is relevant to
CMC frameworks.
