Discussion Board Statement: These discussions are meant for you to jot down your thoughts and analyses of the works of the week. In art, everything is evaluated by your perspective. There is no right or wrong answer to be graded against; instead, you will be graded on how you defend your analysis of the art pieces and the use of the resources (when appropriate).Goya's Third of May, Gericault's Raft of the Medusa, Courbet's Stone Breakers, Timothy O'Sullivan's Harvest of Death, and Gettysburg are only some of the works in this unit's readings that contain potent messages through shocking depictions of reality.
- Select one piece of art from this unit that resonates with you.
- Consider this unit's different artistic styles and movements (Rococo, Neoclassicism, Romanticism, Realism, Photography).
- Under which style would you classify your selection?
- How is your selection a good example of some of the movement's broader aesthetic and social concern
