Writing Question

Write your answer clearly with correct grammar and punctuation. Write it in word or on a google doc first to check the grammar and punctuation. Do not cut and paste or quote from other sources. The answers to these questions are to be from your own ideas and thoughts. This should be 2-4 paragraphs long. You should respond to at least two other comments, and don’t let your only comment for a question be “I agree with…” Explain why you feel that way.

Drawing

Have you ever tried to explain an idea by drawing it? Are you an artist that keeps a sketchbook or have you just doodled on your notes? Most artists draw in sketchbooks. Why do artists begin by sketching their ideas? What kind of changes did Picasso’s Guernica go through from drawing to final painting? What are the advantages and limitations of using drawing as a primary medium for exploring complex ideas and emotions? How does the immediacy of drawing influence the way artists communicate with their audience?

Painting

Discuss the technique of fresco, highlighting Diego Riveras public murals. Include Michelangelos Sistine Chapel (Chapter 17), Leonardo da Vincis Last Supper (Chapter 17), and Raphaels The School of Athens (Chapter 3) in your discussion. Why do artists use the fresco technique? What is the typical subject matter? We have several murals in the area that are just painting on walls, not frescoes. Why are murals important to a city’s cultural personality? What do they offer to the public that a painting in a museum doesn’t?

Printmaking

Discuss the historical significance of printmaking as a means of disseminating information and artistic expression. How was printmaking important to the development of books and posters? Will electronic devices ultimately replace the printed forms? How has the digital age changed the notion of multiples in printmaking media?

Photography

How much of what we see in a photograph is real? Do you always pose for pictures or act naturally? There are lots of ways to alter photos. How many times do you take pictures just to capture the moment or to share with friends on social networks? What kind of photographs do you take? Family? Vacation? Ceremonies? Explain the importance of photography in your life.
