The TedTalk above is kind of a fun transition from History to Art, as areas of knowledge; although, many would argue that there is no transition to be made--they are limbs of the same tree--but, as we are seeing, we could say that about every area of knowledge!
There is certainly a connection between Art and History that is special, it cannot be denied. Many of you wrote about Artists in the last blog as having a great influence upon history.
Remember, as we begin to talk about Art as an area of knowledge this week, that we include: literature, poetry, painting, sculpture, photography, film, dance/movement, theater, music/lyrics, etc. Try to think beyond the canvas, so to speak, when contemplating Art.
Question Options: Choose one of these
1. If you could spend a day with any artist, living or deceased, who would it be and what would you ask him or her?
2. Do you think archaeologically discovered artifacts, such as clay pots and hieroglyphics, belong in a Museum of Art or a Museum of History? Explain or answer.
3. What makes art..."Art"? What gives a piece of art credibility and how does one differentiate between "good" and "bad" art? (Don't simply quote your textbook...I'm curious what you think!)
4. Some argue that Art, creativity, and the ability to express ourselves for no other reason than to be creative, is what ultimately separates human beings from the rest of the mammals. Do you agree or disagree with this?
AND (everyone answers this)
What is your preferred mode of creativity? Notice, I'm not asking you what you are best at doing...I'm asking what you like to do as a creative outlet. What is your most creative time of day?
