The following topic(s) will demonstrate what the discussion is about, but feel free to branch off or expand on the topics. At the end of the discussion, you will be asked to craft a 150 word reflection on what you have learned through this conversation and post it to the Weekly Reflection Journal.

Discuss the importance of key concepts of art critisim.

Most people think that artists have to go through strict formal education and training to know how to create art.  In reality, however, humans are creative by nature and many spectacular works of art were created by people with little or no art education and by using simple, every day materials. By developing new art terms, phrases, and concepts and staying curious about and engaged with what artists are trying to communicate, we are better prepared to appreciate, understand, and participate in art. This assignment will expose you to nontraditional and applied forms of art and the importance of key concepts of art critisim.Choose a total of THREE (3) examples of nontraditional or applied art from the following links below:Paste small images of all 3 works into a Word document. Include the following details about each work: Write  2 or 3 paragraphs for EACH work that addresses the following:For part 2 of the assignment, you will create a (1) painting, drawing, or mixed media piece with nontraditional art mediums or common materials found in your own home.  Consider the work of Vik Muniz, who painted the Mona Lisa out of peanut butter and jelly or Christine Hiebert, who uses painter\’s tape to ”draw” on the museum walls. Paste a photograph of your completed art piece into the Word document from Part 1. Write a reflection paragraph that shares the following information:You can insert images into documents by placing the cursor where you want the image to be, going to “Insert,” then choosing “Picture,” and selecting the picture from your computer. Be sure to scan or photograph your art piece first and upload it to your computer. If using your phone camera, you may be able to e-mail the image to yourself and copy it from e-mail.
