You are invited to reflect on the nature of art and its fundamental principles. Two types of art are offered for a debate: Representation versus Abstraction; and the idea of context is presented (the time and place in which the artwork was created). For a complete understanding of these terms and how to apply them, you should also read Chapter 1 of your textbook: The Nature of Art and Creativity.

  1. Watch two video-talks:

  1. Go to Discussions in the course menu area, locate Module 1 – Discussion Assignment 2: Representation versus Abstraction, and Context in the Art forum, write a three (3) paragraph minimum essay identifying which type of art (representational or abstract) is more appealing to you and why. In your opinion, what major quality constitutes Art? How important is the context in appreciating and understanding an artwork?

Listen attentively to the experts in the videos and learn from their informed discussion on how to analyze and critique a work of art. Build your text on the points they bring up in their talk and share your own take on the subject. Feel free to agree or disagree with them and your classmates but base your case on valid points and arguments.

  1. Then choose two artworks from https://www.google.com/culturalinstitute/beta/ (Links to an external site.). Click on the left menu bar.

Google arts and culture

You may choose by clicking on the “Themes” or “Collections” from the left menu bar.

  3. Use these two works as examples in your essay to support your opinions and ideas about representation, abstraction, and context in art.
