Questions:
How are beauty and/or dissonance a part of this artist's work? Describe and explain.
How did one of the theories we covered (i.e., by Bell, Wolterstorff, or Danto) add to your understanding or appreciation of this work, and how did it do so?
If neither of the readings were helpful in your understanding or appreciation this work, explain one criticism of Bell, Wolterstorff, or Danto based on how this artwork contradicted or problematized something in that article.
Quick guide to citing sources:
for readings, use (Author, pg. #) for texts and (Author, sect. #, para. #) for websites,
if there is >1 work by the same author, also give titles;
for videos or podcasts give the time--e.g. (1:15)--and be sure it's clear which source it's from (give title and/or director, and perhaps speaker and/or host).
Grades are based on these Discussion Guidelines and Requirements:
