Blog Post #1: "What is Art?"

Blog Post #1: "What is Art?"

DUE: 02/20

For our first blog homework, we will prepare a brief reflection on Jerry Saltz's "Seeing Out Loud" <http://www.villagevoice.com/2005-12-13/art/seeing-out-loud/>. Do you agree or disagree with what Saltz says about art and art criticism? Why or why not? Try to articulate what art is for you and how it is similar to or different from what Jerry considers art. Please include one jpeg image of your choice that relates to your idea of art in this blog post. This can also be a photo of your own drawing.

350 words (minimum).

Your finished writing needs to be at least 350 words. It should have an introduction, three body paragraphs and a conclusion. Post the writing on your Blogger page under the title, “What is Art?,” and label the post “Reading 1.”

At the end of your post, cite one artwork that you chose in the following format. This information is generally available on the wall near the artwork if you are in the museum:

Artist’s Full Name
“Title of Work” written in quotations*
Medium
Year Completed

*When referencing the work in the body of your writing, also be sure to write the titles in quotations.
