Assignment Two: Ellen Dissanayake: Homo Aestheticus and More Human Than Human

For this assignment, I want you to answer the following questions in essay form and include a cover page in APA style. I don’t care if you use APA style throughout the paper, but all content must be your own original thoughts. This is tricky….. consider these questions carefully in 2 pages of text. If you do quote any sources, you must cite them and use a reference page

As we have seen and read in Ellen Dissanayake’s work, this author believes that human beings evolved to create art. After listening to her speak and reading her work, answer these following questions:

What is the bioevolutionary view of art?

Why do you think human beings began creating art?

What does art do for human beings?

If a culture creates objects that might be considered art by Western definitions, but they do not have a word for art in their own language, are we wrong to call what they do art?

Dissanayake states that humans have a need to “make special” and to
play.” We can do this through visual and the performing arts. How do art, play, and ritual intersect to “make special?”

Can you think of an example of human behavior that could be defined as combining ritual, play and art – such as Mardi Gras? Describe it.

Write: Choose two sculptures either from the textbook or famous sculptures from history. Identify these sculptures by artist, title, date, and medium. Add images to your discussion. In your essay, consider the following for each sculpture you choose (your total discussion should be a minimum of 3 paragraphs):

Identify and describe the sculpting process and materials used in the sculpture(s).
What do you feel are the associations the artist may have had in mind when sculpting from this material or process? Is there a cultural connection with the material or process? Is there an historical connection with the material or process? Is there a specific tradition reflected in the materials used?
What does the material or process contribute to the overall meaning or your personal feeling of the sculpture?
Consider this sculpture if it had been made in a different medium. How might that change the reception (how the viewer views the sculpture) or meaning of the sculpture?

Compare/Contrast: Rococo, Neoclassical, Romantic &amp; Realism

The first writing assignment will be a compare/contrast between two or three (3) art objects or buildings that represent two or three of the artistic periods discussed so far this semester: Rococo, Neoclassical, Romantic and/or Realism.

For this paper, you will seek to create a connection between works from these different periods through the subjects they address and/or ideas and influences they respond to.

Note 1: for the 18th century portraiture lesson, you will find that some of these artists seem to lean toward the aesthetics of one of these major movements more so than others; you may use one of these portraits as an example of that period.

Note 2: You do not have to limit your selections to works covered in class, but the examples do need to represent the periods listed above.
