Danny's Interviews

When I was told to interview 3 stakeholders at GBS and in the Glenview community, I thought of 3 people immediately. For the faculty memeber at GBS I was going to choose Senor Jorge Zamora. He was my spanish teahcer during my Junior year and I knew he appreciated art because he talked about it a lot last year and showed a lot of interest in music. When I was choosing a student at GBS I thought of my friend Drew Gibson. He is a Junior this year and I have known him my whole life. He always likes to express his views on pieces of art like modern art or new music. He is a huge fan of older music from the 50's to the 90's and always shows his disgust in new music and wonders how it is considered music. My last choice was a community member of Glenview. For this I chose my mother. My mom is not really a person that is big into modern art, kind of like my friend Drew is about music. After I chose these people I set out on my interview hunt.

During my interview with Senor Zamora, he told me that he likes things that are more simplistic. He doesnt like to look or listen to things that are just a mess of random shapes or sounds. He says this is just noise which is not pleasing to the mind. From this I see that he wants an art piece that is pleasing to look at. I also learned this from my mother when I interviewed her. I learned it in more of a direct way than when I learned it from Senor Zamora. I asked my mom what makes an art piece good or bad. He answer was simple. She said, "Something that is pleasing to the eye." She then added that a piece of art would also be good if it brought forth a good feeling or emotion. Drew was a little different. He said he would look at how well something is sculpted or drawn to judge if it is good or bad. This shows that the accuracy matters to him. He wants art to look real.
