Week 5 Discussion Forum 2

Q Week 5 - Discussion Forum 2 Your initial discussion thread is due on Day 3 (Thursday) and you have until Day 7 (Monday) to respond to your classmates. Your grade will reflect both the quality of your initial post and the depth of your responses. Refer to the Discussion Forum Grading Rubric under the Settings icon above for guidance on how your discussion will be evaluated. Evolution of Your Art Interpretation [WLO: 4] [CLOs: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5] Prior to beginning work on this discussion forum, read Chapters 10 and 11 of the textbook. Select a contemporary work of art or architecture from the textbook, a website listed on the ART101 Museum and Images Website download document, one of the assigned virtual reality videos, or visit your local museum. Your work of art should be one that you have not already examined elsewhere in this class, with the exception of the Week 3 assignment. Provide a brief analysis of the work of art using the art history specific vocabulary and methods for approaching art you have learned over the past five weeks. Consider the media (materials), methods, subjects of the work of art, and the reflections of the region and Contemporary Art movement. You may want to revisit the Writing Center’s Summary vs. Analysis (Links to an external site.). In your analysis, answer the following questions: How do the political, philosophical, religious, and social contexts impact the art of today? How does Contemporary Art differ from other movements which you studied earlier in this course? Reflect upon how your interpretation of art has changed since you examined the A Fall with the Rebel Angels in the Post Your Introduction discussion in Week 1, and address the following: What differences are there between the ways you interpreted that work of art in Week 1 to your interpretation now? How will these changes impact the way you view art moving forward? Your initial post must be at least 200 words in length. Cite your sources as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center (Links to an external site.) guides on APA: Citing Within Your Paper (Links to an external site.) and APA: Formatting Your References List (Links to an external site.). For works of art, follow the basic modified APA Style reference entry format in the APA Style Reference Entries for Artwork download document. Guided Response: Review several of your classmates’ posts. By day 7, provide a substantive response to at least two of your classmates by commenting on how their interpretations of art have changed. How are these changes similar or different from what you have experienced?

Art in order to send a message has always resorted to communicate through political ideals. Picasso created Guernica in the aftermath of the devastation he had witnessed after the World Wars. Art in a bid to send a message that might make some happy while making some offended turns political. Even today artists such as Banksy make use of political undertones to create otherwise simplistic pieces of art. Influential art can speak about important issues and maintain its artistic integrity accordingly. The philosophy of today is closely linked with the modernizing world and the changes that human emotions undergo as a result of this rapidly modernizing world. This has been captured in the modern era through art – the chaotic sensibilities of Contemporary art, the rampant experimentation with the art forms and the subsequent highlighting of the human emotional turmoil has been captured beautifully in modern art.
