For your first blog post, you will consider the topic “Good Art vs. Bad Art.” To begin, watch the video below.
One
of the greatest qualities of art is that everybody is entitled to their
own opinions. We are all individuals who come from unique backgrounds
and experiences. So, why should we agree on what makes one thing “good”
and another thing “bad”? For this prompt, tell us your opinion about
what makes good art good and bad art bad. There are no wrong opinions.
All that I require is that you present a thoughtful analysis of why you appreciate a certain type of art and not another.
The
writing should be at least two paragraphs in length. One paragraph
devoted to good art, one paragraph devoted to bad art. After your
writing, upload two works of art that best describe your two viewpoints.
Google Images is a great search engine for finding work: http://images.google.com
The Metropolitan Museum of Art has a searchable image database: http://www.metmuseum.org/works_of_art/collection_database/
And so does the Museum of Modern Art: http://moma.org/explore/collection/index
If
you still have a hard time finding examples to talk about, feel free to
use works of art that I discuss in the lecture videos (just be sure to
describe them in your own words!). To upload your images, follow the
instructions in the “Adding Images and Links to Your Blog Posts”
document.
Before you publish your post, write "good art bad art" into the labels field.
