Last weeks lecture was a quick over view of the most influential and recognizable pieces and artists over history. The big question of the night was "what is Art"? We were able to decide that Art is whatever a person who likes it considers it to be. It can be something that took a great deal of effort to create by a person or it could be a product of nature that speaks to someone and they enjoy it enough to consider it a work of art.
The break down of the eras and the art created during those times was very interesting. We received an entertaining history lesson through the beauty and discovery of art. We learned the name of different types of art what makes certain works of art fall into each catagory.
The art of each era sometimes portrayed political statements of the times that were very infuenctial on artists.
Adding artistic touches to practical everyday items really showed a display of each cultures appretiation for aesthetics and value on artistic expressions.
The glimpse into altered states and artistic expression was very interesting and I'm looking forward to the lecture.
