SEARCHING for MEANING...
Looking for Meaning in Art? Good! because that's the goal of our semester. As we explore the art elements and various art media, we will be making deeper connections to a Big Idea. Some of the Big Ideas we will delve into will be: SYMBOLS, POWER, PLACE, IDENTITY.
We may examine more Big Ideas than this, or we may just wallow in each of these until we are saturated with all the contents of their possibilities.
Get ready to dive in!!!

Should Art Be Beautiful?
“Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.”
* What does this saying mean?
* How does it apply to our question “What is art?”
Address these questions by leaving a comment.
Intro to Art Currently
Current Unit: Heroes
Current Project: Calaveras Hero Relief Portraits
Project Description: You will create a portrait painting with elements of relief & 2-D depth that honors a personal hero.
The face will be constructed from a papier mache mask and attached to a flat surface. The surrounding flat surface will provide a painted scene with a foreground, middle ground, and background for your hero (the mask). You should use what you know about creating the illusion of depth on a flat surface to enhance the feeling of space around the figure.
DUE: November 2nd
Past Projects: Street Art Symbolic Artwork

i think its saying that everyone has there own opinion about art. i think it applys to the question "what is art?" cuz art to everyone means something different. everyone has there own opinion.
This saying means that if you create the art you think it is beautiful, it may not look beautiful to anyone else, but you are the one who made it and it is beautiful to you.
This applies to our "what is art" because we said that art is how the person expresses their emotions and feelings and that you may not always understand the message that they may be trying to bring across. So "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" basically states just like "what is art" that if the artist creates something that conveys emotion it is beautiful to them.
Art is the description of something without words, but instead colors, drawings, statues, and anything that anyones imagination can dream up of.
The saying "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" means that the person looking at the piece of art means that its up to them to decide whether if it's beauty or not. It applies to our question "What is art?" because only you can really decide what you think art is.

I think this saying means....(this is where I'd write what I thought)
It applies to our question "What is Art?" because...(and this is where I explained the connection between the two ideas.)
I believe art is a way to express yourself through the power of your mind and fingertips. Expressing your creativity through art shows others who you really are.
I think "Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder" means that everyone has their own way of looking at things. This applys to our question "What is art" because your opinion on what art is may be different than someone elses.
I think this saying means that what is beautiful to you, might not be as beautiful to someone else.
It applies to the question because its like the same was as the beauty saying, what is art to you, might not be art to someone else.
