Q Discussion: Why Create Art? It has been noted that only the human animal creates art; in fact, it is this that makes us uniquely Human. Sister Wendy, in the video on cave paintings through Greek art, explores various motives or impetuses for the initial creation of art works once a civilization, or in this case, a band or troop begin to establish places of temporary or permanent residence. Watch the video below and discuss some of the points that Sister Wendy makes about the impulse to create works of art from cave paintings to greek art, and discuss your own views on why humankind creates art. Posting Directions: You must post your Discussion entry BEFORE you can reply to at least two (2) of your classmates.
