Answer:
C. Imagery
Explanation:
<u>Methodology in studying art refers to the way the art piece is “read”, analyzed and studied by academics and critics.</u> It uses various theories and perspectives to interpret the meaning of art.
Some of the methodologies used are:
- feminism
- formal analysis (formalism)
- iconology and iconography
- Marxism
- structuralism
- psychoanalysis
All methodologies take into the account artist, media, technique, as well as the time, place, and cultural context in which the art piece was created.
<u>Imagery is not the methodology of art.</u> Imagery refers to the way something is presented, either visually or through figurative language to paint the idea of looks, sounds, touch, etc. Imagery is the presentation of something, and in visual arts, it is the way artist portrays something he imagines or sees. <u>It is not the idea through which the art piece is analyzed as other options. </u>
