Week 3, "What guides your own interests and experiences of reading artworks?"

Past experiences and memories
- Something in the artwork may provoke a memory: something I've seen, heard, or touched before... reminding me...

What I have read or been told about the artist, or style of the work. 'Knowledge' I have about its context, purpose... Preconceptions and expectations built around this.

My personal sensory reaction to it
- Do I feel pleased or distraut when looking at it?

My place in time and space, my culture...
