Unit 6 DB: What is art now?


 Discussion Board Statement: These discussions are meant for you to jot down your thoughts and analyses of the works of the week. In art, everything is evaluated by your perspective. There is no right or wrong answer to be graded against; instead, you will be graded on how you defend your analysis of the art pieces and the use of the resources (when appropriate).Now in its ‘anything-goes’ phase, art might be harder to define than ever! Consider all the different materials, ideas expressed, and points of view you learned about in this week’s reading.

  • Can you combine these seemingly disparate ideas to construct a cohesive definition of ‘art’ in the 20th to 21st Centuries?
  • How is your definition of art today different from what it might have been at the beginning of this class?
  • Use specific works from this week’s reading to support your ideas.
