130. Which inevitably brings us to an important question…
How do you successfully convey or share ideas and
feelings?
▪ This is where the communication process kicks in.The communication process is
simple and basically states that every means of communication includes these
seven elements:
▪ A transmitter:The person with the need or desire to communicate something.
▪ A message:The content of the communication.
▪ A code:The system of signs used to communicate, which must be known to the
person to whom the message is destined.
▪ A means:The element that allows the physical transmission of the message.
▪ A Receptor:The person to whom the message is destined.
▪ A Context: Wherein the communication intervenes.
▪ A Function: The intended purpose of the communication.
131. ▪ Let us use Edvard Munch’s Scream as an example for
this theory.The transmitter would be Edvard Munch,
as he is the person desiring an emotional
conveyance. He defines his message in his diary;
▪ “I was walking along a path with two friends — the
sun was setting — suddenly the sky turned blood
red — I paused, feeling exhausted, and leaned on the
fence — there was blood and tongues of fire above
the blue-black fjord and the city — my friends
walked on, and I stood there trembling with
anxiety —and I sensed an infinite scream passing
through nature.”
▪ His code for transmitting anxiety anguish and
nature’s agony are his loose strokes and violent
colors.The means is his canvas, or in this case, his
cardboard¹.The context of his message is
ExpressionistGermany, towards the end of the 19th
century and the beginning of the 20th.The function
of his work is to sensitize his public.

The Scream (1893)
by Edvard Munch
A picture is worth
a thousand
words.
132. • All seven elements are present. Does this mean that
Edvard Munch successfully conveyed his message? The
answer depends upon the Receptor. As previously
established, a message is transmitted through a system
of codes which must be understood by the person to
whom the message is destined
▪ In this particular case, the first intended receptors might
be Munch’s two friends, those who did not pause at the
sight of a blood red sky. However, as this particular piece
of art has come to be considered a masterpiece, the
Receptor is the entire world, as every human has the
potential to view this piece². The successful conveyance is
thus dependent upon the comprehension of whoever might be
viewing the painting and his emotional baggage and/or own
set of prejudices.
▪ This theory of communication is but a model; a
simplification of reality. Thereal case for Art as a means
of Communication is best expressed through
another implication.:

Notes de l'éditeur
Surrealism - A style where realistic people, places, and things are juxaposed in non-realistic ways. Example: People enter through the window and look out the door. Symbolism - A response to realism by where all objects and events in a realistic play have a secondary meaning. Example: George kills himself with his father's gun. His father also killed himself, so the symbol suggests that history will always repeat itself. Naturalism - Extreme realism where verisimitude is more important than anything including plot, character, and idea. Example: A man sits in a chair and reads a book on stage for two hours while it rains out a window. Absurdism: A reaction to realism, growing from surrealism, that suggests that realism on stage can never be real and there for is already fake. So, the fakeness is embraced in order to find the real truths of human kind. Example: Waiting for Gogot
In philosophy, idealism is the group of philosophies which assert that reality, or reality as we can know it, is fundamentally mental, mentally constructed, or otherwise immaterial. Epistemologically, idealism manifests as a skepticism about the possibility of knowing any mind-independent thing.
