Answer:
The intended audience of a work of art shapes the methods that the artist can use to communicate experiences. The age, ethnicity, location, and personality of a person [along with many other factors], lead to different life experiences that change the way an artwork is received and judged.
Explanation:
The intended audience of a work of art shapes the methods that the artist can use to communicate experiences. The age, ethnicity, location, and personality of a person [along with many other factors], lead to different life experiences that change the way an artwork is received and judged.
The contents (as well as the materials, size, and location) of major paintings in history are dependent on the audience they are made for.
For example, the painting on the Sistine Chapel ceiling is commonly interpreted to be a representation of the bible. If Pope Julius II [who funded Michelangelo] was not the head of the Catholic church, the painting may not have been created (or it might have not been an illustration of the Catholic religion).
So, an audience shapes the content that a creator can utilize to create artwork. It shapes the intention, effort, themes, value, size, budget [which also changes the materials used], and interpretation of the artwork--which all change the impact that the work of art is able to carry.
