Listen to the above lectures given in each sections and answer the following questions. Each question should be around a 650 words and should be like a mini essay independent of one other.
1. This week, we looked at artists using photography and film as tools for creating their own digital art. Let’s discuss some issues that are bound to come up with this use of re-contextualization, appropriation, and reproducibility. Thinking back to the part of the lecture where we talked about aura and authenticity, answer this week’s discussion question: How does digital art’s use of re-contextualization and appropriation guide the reception and experience of digital art making and viewing? Choose an artwork from the chapter and/or lectures this week that shows how digital art has changed how we think about concepts of authenticity and aura. Does digital art destroy the authenticity and aura we associate with works of art, or just alter it? Be sure to use detailed, specific examples from the artwork (what it looks like, how is made, how it is accessed, etc.) to support your points!
2. Find current Internet Art that interests you. This could be an online gallery, a creative browser, online performance, or an artist-designed plug-in. You may choose an example from our textbook, but please make sure that it is still live and/or has a robust archive for you to explore. This does NOT mean you find an artist on the internet whose paintings you like and choose them. It DOES mean that you choose artists actively engaged with issues discussed in our chapters, such as digital data, audio-visual projects, netactivism, etc. Briefly describe your chosen work, making sure to include any technology the artist uses. Note how it relates to themes we discussed this week; can you compare it to any other works from the lectures or readings this week? Explain what interests you personally about the work: what captured your attention? Include a link
What is sustainable fashion and is it really important these days?
Do you believe that L.H.O.O.Q. and Fountain should be categorized as art? Should one be called “art” and one not? Both? Neither? In your (paragraph-length) answer, pick the definition(s) of art (the Dewey, Dickie, Irwin, and/or Anderson definitions) that best supports your position on whether or not these two objects should be called “art.” You can also consider expanding the definition(s) you choose by considering other factors that you believe are helpful in defining something as “art.”
America’s Most Wanted is a painting created by two artists (Komar and Melamid) in an attempt to determine what the “American People” most value in visual art. Along with a companion piece, America’s Least Wanted, the creation of this work was essentially crowd-sourced by polling Americans about what visual elements they most prefer (colors, subjects, genres, etc.) Although the object itself occupies a traditional art category (painting), should this work be considered art? In your (paragraph-length) answer, please select a definition of art (the Dewey, Dickie, Irwin, and/or Anderson definition) that best supports your position on why America’s Most Wanted should or should not be considered “art.” You can also consider expanding the definition you choose by considering other factors that you believe are helpful in defining something as “art.”
please compare/contrast two artworks or buildings. the two artworks/buildings should be from different chapters (for instance choose one artwork from chapter 2 and the second artwork from chapter 5 and then compare/contrast both of them).
Chapter 2 (The Language of Art and Architecture); Chapter 5 (Food and Shelter); Chapter 7(Deities and Places of Worship); Chapter 9 (Power Politics and Glory); Chapter 14(Entertainment and Visual Culture).
Your response must be one full page (250 – 400 words), double-spaced with 12 pt font. No headings please.
In referring to pages 218 – 219 of our text, it is well understood that Bramante had a hankering to “reinvent the wheel” when it came to what Rome was comfortable with calling a church. The construction of St Peter’s Basilica had many architects, all of which we are familiar with today. In your response for this week, research the history of St Peter’s basilica and answer the following questions in your summary of its past:
1) What made Bramante special for his time? Why was he initially privileged with the task of this construction? What faults had he made in his design plan that intimidated commissioners?
2) Who were the star players that came in after Bramante’s plan was drawn up? What changes did they make to his design? Did their adjustments cater to Bramante’s taste in any way? In what ways did their adjustments cater to Rome and in what ways to their adjustments bring them their own recognition as masters of their period?
3) There were two popular designs for churches in this period, what were they and which one is the basilica of St Peter associated with? Identify the design characteristics of both of these church building designs.
Please be sure to cite both artworks by providing the title of the work, artist name, medium (painting, drawing, etc.) and year it was completed.
