Formalism

• Literature:
– Relationships among theme, plot, characters, and
settings, sources of language, word choice, tone,
imaginary, symbol

lighting, sound editing
• Music:

12. How to enjoy art?
Concextualism
• Factors outside the work: why it was created,
what artistic, social, cultural, historical, and
political forces, events, and trends, who the
artist is, his or her intent, work fits with other
works of the same genre of the same or
different eras (time and place)
• Variety of perspective: psychological
perspective, religious perspective, economic
perspective, history perspective
13. What makes the work so GREAT?
"Crazy"
Intention, Evaluation, Tone, I remember when, I remember, I remember when I lost my mind
There was something so pleasant about that place.
Perspective Even your emotions had an echo
In so much space
And when you're out there
Without care,
Yeah, I was out of touch
But it wasn't because I didn't know enough
I just knew too much
Does that make me crazy?
Does that make me crazy?
Does that make me crazy?
Possibly [radio version]
probably [album version]
And I hope that you are having the time of your life
But think twice, that's my only advice
Come on now, who do you, who do you, who do you, who do you
think you are,
Ha ha ha bless your soul
You really think you're in control
Well, I think you're crazy
I think you're crazy
I think you're crazy
Just like me
My heroes had the heart to lose their lives out on a limb
And all I remember is thinking, I want to be like them
Ever since I was little, ever since I was little it looked like fun
And it's no coincidence I've come
And I can die when I'm done
Maybe I'm crazy
Maybe you're crazy
Maybe we're crazy
Probably
