Assignment: Personal Aesthetic discussion
As the course comes to a close, and you’ve learned how to analyze and write about art, it’s time to think about your personal definition of art
Learning Objective of this assignment
Identify your personal definition of art and the work of art that best represents that definition.
Task 1: articulate your aesthetic
What is your aesthetic? Aesthetic is a set of principles underlying and guiding the work of a particular artist or artistic movement or work of art.
Articulate your personal definition of art, or your aesthetic. While there is no right or wrong answer here, keep in mind that you need to support your definition and, ideally, relate it to what you’ve learned in this course. Think back to the Roles of the Artist from Chapter 1. How do any of those roles influence your personal aesthetic?
Task 2: Find an image that represents your aesthetic
Include an image that best represents your “new” aesthetic. Embed the image and label it with artist, title, media, date and image source. How has your aesthetic changed since you submitted your “Creative Life” in your Icebreaker assignment?
Task 3: Write a short paragraph on your “take-aways” from the course.
How has your perception and understanding of Art changed since the beginning of the course? What are some things in this course of Art Appreciation that stand out to you? Have you come to appreciate some art that you may not previously have?
