1. 200 words Keeping in mind your thoughts about what separates "art" from "non-art", I'd like you to think about
different styles of art and discuss how various artistic styles can serve distinct purposes. As we've
read, during the 15th and 16th centuries, great value was placed on the ability to draw realistically and to
represent nature accurately.
Why do you think this style of drawing and painting was so highly prized? What purpose did art
serve during this time, and how did this style support that purpose? On the other hand, how might
more abstract or less-realistic styles of drawing, painting, or sculpture help later artists
communicate different ideas?
Do you think that photography is truly realistic? Why or why not? Can film be considered to be
realistic - and are some genres of film more or less realistic than
others (e.g., documentary, biography, fantasy, action, e 2. 200 words
Throughout most of the history of art, artists have been inspired to create portraits of heroes and
heroines. Even today, statues and monuments in city parks and plazas remind us of those who have
shaped our history, as do painted portraits of heroes and heroines that hang in many museums and
public buildings. Consider the meaning of "hero," think critically about how heroes and other important
persons were portrayed in the civilizations discussed throughout Chapters 16-18, and then tell us how
you would create a portrait of your own personal hero or heroine using any materials or programs
available.
You have two options:
1. You can write a description of the artwork and include references to images in the textbook or links to
images outside of the textbook that inspire the style, format, design, colors, etc. of your portrait.
or
2. Create your own artwork and attach a picture of it here, making sure to include a description and
rationale of why you chose to represent your hero in a specific way. http://content.ctcd.edu/courses/huma1315/m16/docs/huma1315_study_guide_ex6.pdf

Think about the values we embrace as a society and how those could be represented. Create
your own "ism" (CUBISIM, FAUVISM, EXPRESSIONISM, FURTURISM) that reflects the time in
which you live, and describe how artwork that reflects that "ism"might look (in other words, how
would you pp. 496-504) use formal qualities to express ideas that are prevalent in our
society?). See "The New 'Isms'" (pp. 496-504) for examples of "isms" that artists created during
the late 19th and early 20th centuries. EXAMPLES FROM PG 496-504
Cubism= house es a t l’estaque, Violin and Palette(George Braque), houses on the Hill, Cigar sheet music
and wine(Picasso)
Fauvism= woman with a hat 1905 (Matisse)
German Expressionism= Composition VII (Kandinsky)1913
Futurism= Dynamism of a dog on a leash (Balla)
DADA and Surrealism= Ducamps MONA LISA
