Q Participation with Art and Values Browse through your textbook and revisit the pictures you have encountered throughout the course over this semester. For the sake of convenience, please limit your response to visual art?painting, sculpture, architecture, etc., that can be visually pictured in your text. Choose two pictures: one that represents one of your favorite works of art, and another that represents one of your least favorite works in the book. Be sure to be as specific as possible, and to give thoughtful reasons for your assertions. For this journal, answer the following numbered discussion questions (1 -4 and repeat 1-4) based on your choices, as follows: FAVORITE 1. Name your favorite work of art (from our text book), provide the artist's name, date, and page number. 2. What is it about this work that attracts you? Discuss the artistic form that made you choose it as your favorite. 3. When you look at this work, how does it make you feel? Discuss how you emotionally interpret it. 4. What main value is communicated through this work of art? Is this a value that you ascribe to personally? Do you think others are attracted to it for the same reason? LEAST FAVORITE 1. Name your least favorite work of art (from our text book), provide the artist's name, date and page number. 2. What is it about this work's artistic form that repels you? Is it ugly, or simply uninteresting? Discuss why did you chose it as your least favorite? 3. When you look at this work, how does it make you feel? Discuss how you emotionally interpret it. 4. What value (if any) is communicated through this work of art? Is this a value that you agree with, or does it offend you? How do you think others respond to it? NOTE: You must choose one of each to earn full credit for this assignment. It is NOT OK to say “I liked everything” instead of choosing your least favorite! Use your critical thinking skills in your discussion answers. Remember, your participation and response should clearly reflect your reading and understanding of the chapters and specific information in this session. Also, remember to go to Discussions to answer the final discussion questions.

FAVORITE 1. Name your favorite work of art (from our text book), provide the artist's name, date, and page number. My favorite painting is The Creation of Adam (1508-1512) by Michelangelo in chapter 4 about Paintings. 1. What is it about this work that attracts you? Discuss the artistic form that made you choose it as your favorite. The realistic details in the painting with the use of subtle pastel colors attracted me. I was drawn towards it because of its scale too as it has been done on the roof of the Sistine Chapel and it is a huge painting.
