Interpretation of visual arts is considered as the interpretator's creative gesture. During the 20th century, this point of view is seen, for example, in the cultural anthropology studying models of human behaviour that understands culture as a system of symbols of phenomenological nature. It reveals behavioural models controlled by specific meanings. The models and the cultural patterns derived from them are used in real contact, so they are recognizable behind particular implementations. By return, they re-shape reality as well. They engrave their rules and, in this way, the scope of validity, too. This mechanism must be included in the interpretation of the meanings to be revealed. The same variety is found in the interpretation of the revealed meanings. We usually speak about a certain interpretation spread. However, the spread is not neverending and has determinable rules. From this point of view, culture is perceived as an area where meanings are searched for, negotiated, determined, created - and disappearing as well. Every little newly revealed or formulated part may change the rest of the relationships system.
The student has a notion of the selected areas of theoretical disciplines complementing the frame of knowledge of art history and theory from other theoretical subjects. They have comprehended the necessary procedures on the subjectivity, intersubjectivity, and objectivity levels, which inevitably occur when interpreting an artwork. The student is able to distinguish basic theoretical terms: denotation, exemplification, context, situation, structure, metaphor, concept, icon, and index and can apply them when analyzing the meaning of an artefact from the visual sphere.
