Discussion Post: Living with Visual Art
You can find visual art anywhere! Vast repositories are online, but you probably have art on your refrigerator door (your child's artwork) and see it on billboards that you pass on the way to work or on T-shirts with ironic sayings.
Find a piece of visual art that you like or that challenges you ("Why is THIS art?" for instance).
Live with it for two whole days. Print out a copy so that you can carry it with you. Study it while you brush your teeth. Look at it before you go to sleep. Reference it often.
At the end of the two days, start by writing a description of the art you chose. For the moment, pretend your readers can't see or aren't familiar with your chosen art work. Describe it to us in a strong paragraph that helps us to understand what the art looks like.
Next, write about how your perception of the piece of art changed after intense study. Did this exercise change your idea about art at all? Be sure to include your chosen piece in your discussion board post so that we can compare your description to the actual piece.
The response must include a reference list. One-inch margins, double-space, Using Times New Roman 12 pnt font and APA style of writing and citations.
