We have been examining art across cultures and time periods. Pick 3 different and distinct examples of art from the entire course to demonstrate that art is a product of its context and show how each culture/time period utilized specific conventions of representation and a method of delivering them.

Read the two articles below: explaining how each portrait was made and the artists’ idea behind the pieces In the discussion board: Create your own personal thread and answer and discuss the question below: Discussion topic: Which portrait is more “true” to the individual the sculpture represents? Explain why you think so: Also explain why the other sculpture is not as true to the individual it represents. A) Marc Quinn, Self  http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/06/08/marc-quinn_n_1581132.html or B) Daniel Chester French, The Lincoln Memorial statue    http://www.nps.gov/linc/historyculture/lincoln-memorial-design-individuals.htm Also, mention the following and answer each question below while reasoning within their post: What is the artist’s reason for making the piece? = truth? What is it made out of? why did the artist use that material? = truth? who will view the sculpture/who is the sculpture intended for? = truth? How does each of the areas reveal the real truth about the person the piece represents? or not reveal truth?

Write a brief (at least 250 word) response to the essay “Why Art Matters.” Actions Questions to consider as you respond to the essay: Did anything resonate with you about the nature of and need for art? Do you have any personal experiences with the arts, and have you seen how art can be a refuge during difficult or uncertain times?  Why does art matter to you? And if you don’t think it does, how could you anticipate it mattering to you in the future? (Although, I imagine most of you listen to music and watch movies–at least; so I would counter that art does matter to you). How do you think a deeper understanding of the arts would affect your life?

Your task is as follows:   If we believe Liu’s thesis, that 21st century America –by dint of its diversity and the appropriation of digital realms for cultural commentary –will disavow one man who defines ‘cultural literacy’, then we must work as omni-Americans to collectively define the boundaries of cultural literacies.   This isn’t easy work. We’re all different, and what’s popular today will be left behind tomorrow, mere detritus in the vast floating jetsam that is popular culture. Still, some things endure in our culture. If Hirsch laid the foundation for it some 30 years ago, and we-all have the means to update that list today, what does a revised list look like?   As part of your response, I want you to clearly understand the implications Liu makes in his article, but I also want you to reference entries from Hirsch’s work; the latter might be items that you’d replace, or that you’d keep, or that you think could be a one-for-one swap for a ‘thing’ from our culture that better defines literacy today.   Allow me an example: “wireless” is not an entry in Hirsch’s book. It could have been, because prior to the 1920s, people called radio ‘wireless’. It has other applications, too: garage door openers, deep-space communications, cordless telephones, etc., are all wireless. But with the rise of cellular technology in the 1990s, the term wireless was revived. One could make a fairly convincing argument (albeit using Liu’s directives as well as the other pundits we’ve read this semester) that that’s one possible update for the list.   So, in short, applying Liu’s conceptual framework for an updated list, and using Hirsch’s list as a starting point, how do you go about facilitating that list? What does it now include? And why have you included those items?
