Reading & Reflecting - Week 5

What opportunities does ambiguity in works of visual art offer students in the visual art classroom?  

There are obviously many opportunities that ambiguity can offer when in the classroom.  I will highlight what I feel is the most important.  The single most important opportunity that ambiguity can offer is that it allows students to learn through other's experiences.  It is stated in the article that individuals can draw different interpretations from viewing art based on their own personal experiences.  I feel that student and instructors alike can gain experience when viewing art based on the feedback and vocal interpretations from one another when viewing.

How might VTS methodology unlock these opportunities?

I feel that VTS can help unlock methodological opportunities as it allows for individual vocal interpretation, which allows others to draw from those interpretations and add their interpretations.

Do one or more images in your VTS Unit Curiculum contain ambiguity that can enhance individual and group meaning-making?  

I feel as though it does...Especially in the section concerning slavery.  We, as southerners have many different interpretations of the south as a culture, and by viewing images such as the Underground Railroad, I feel many different interpretations will become prevalent.
