Think back over all of the pictures of paintings and sculptures you have seen in our textbook during this quarter, and select five that you found to be especially interesting. How does each embody the aesthetic principles for visual art that we examined together in this unit? What feelings, thoughts, and motives your perceptions elicit in each instance?
In your initial post, explain what is best about each of your selections and how each challenges your understanding of the world and of yourself.
