Art & architecture Art in Communities, \u201cWhat is art and beauty?\u201d<\/p>\n
We’ve spent the last couple of weeks addressing the question, \u201cWhat is art and beauty?\u201d This week, we examine how art functions in communities. To begin this week’s discussion, please address the following in a 400-600 word Initial Post:<\/p>\n
Now that you’ve seen some ways that visual art impacts community, how has your perception of art’s role in our lives changed and\/or been affirmed? Use a specific and compelling example from OUTSIDE the readings or your personal experience to support your answer.
\nIn your opinion, what is the most powerful feature of communal art that drives people to engage with it and create value within their communities?
\nFinally, we’ve seen accounts of iconoclasm (the destruction of images) since the beginning of recorded history \u2013 a monumental testament to the power of images and art. Conduct an internet scavenger hunt on a work of art that has been attacked or destroyed, share the image or a link on your post, and explain what within a community it was meant to damage or destroy.<\/p>\n
Please follow these guidelines for posting this week:
\nYour initial post must be 400-600 words.
\nResponses should be thoughtful, encourage more critical thinking of other group members, challenge each other, and make us all think on a new level about the course content.
\nRemember to support your ideas with specific examples and provide citations when appropriate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
