This is a reminder that you have homework due Friday, September 16 that relates to Chasing Vermeer. Details are below:
- Take a picture of something you consider to be art.
- Upload the photo to the assignment in the Google Classroom. Turn In the assignment.
- Be prepared to explain to the class why you think this object is art. You can write your reason down, if you'd like, to help you remember.
- If you're able to, please tell us who made it, what it's made out of, and/or its name.
Presentations will take place the week of September 19. They will be super casual and super short.
In class today, we discussed "What is Art?". Here are some ideas we came up with:
"Art is everything."
"Most art there is only one of it, like the Mona Lisa."
"Statues, scientific, medieval, music, video, and abstract art."
"Something that we made through our thoughts, names, picture books, people, paint, glass and colours."
"Art is a kind of thing like craft, dance, painting, and anything."
"Art is anything made by an artist."
"Books, painting, Minecraft, people, music, pictures, mountains, life, sky."
"Anything that takes effort. Anything that has dimensions."
