Abstract: (370 Views) |
In order to understand how a person belonging to the Islamic discursive tradition perceives the objects of Islamic art today, a survey was conducted in which participants were asked open-ended questions. More than 50 people took part in the survey, majority of them are Muslims residing in/originated from Muslim countries and those with significant portion of Muslim population. Our main goal was to identify and define what can be revealed and discovered from the process of the interaction of a person with Islamic art objects. A qualitative analysis of the data made it possible to conclude that when a person interacts with art and perceives its visual forms, processes are activated in the inner world that actualize deep meanings inherent in him or her and bring certain ideas and images to the surface of his consciousness. Based on the findings of the survey, the four levels were identified on which a (Muslim) person interacts with (Islamic) art.
