What is Artworld

Chapter 1
Handbook of Research on Maximizing Cognitive Learning through Knowledge Visualization
In 1964 Arthur Danto (1964) introduced the term “Artworld” as informal groups of art-related people. In many cases the status of the work as a work of art depends on the opinion, cooperation, and recognition of the Artworld. Works of art can be appreciated in relation to other artworks, whether they are providing enjoyment, aesthetic experience, and some social benefits. Stephen Davies (1991) discussed functional and procedural approaches to art definition – two strategies that might be adopted to define art. For the functionalist, an artwork performs functions distinctive to art, usually providing a rewarding aesthetic experience. For the proceduralist, an artwork is created in accordance with certain rules and procedures.

Abstract
This chapter explores the existing and potential possibilities of exchanging information through the means that exceed those relating only to a text. Discussion entails knowledge visualization and the verbal and nonverbal ways of communication in the physical and online settings. After giving some consideration to the ways we communicate, cognitive activities are discussed by examining notions of cognitive thinking, cognitive science, and cognitive learning. Then follow some remarks on cognitive learning with knowledge visualization, whether occurring in a classroom and online with the use of computer technology, carried out through the social networking, or conducted with the use of educational games. Descriptions of the visual/verbal approach to learning with communication media and a discussion about criticism and assessment with respect to digital art and graphics conclude the chapter.
