Post 3 a 1-2 paragraph description of how art is experienced through the senses. Explain the connections that artists have with their art. Explain the purpose of art as a practical or aesthetic purpose, or as both. Finally, describe your experience and thoughts about the purpose of art as revealed in "Everyday Use."
Discussion 1 - In this discussion we consider the sensual elements of art. Please keep in mind that this is not the same thing as discussion sexual elements. That's a misunderstanding students sometimes have. Instead, we're discussion aspects of a work of art that directly appeal to our senses - sight, hearing, smell, touch, and taste.
As you read Alice Walker's "Everyday Use," be aware of how the quilt in the story is discussed as both an artistic creation with aesthetic properties that enhance a sensory response, as well as a creation that has a significant practical use.
In this Discussion, you explore how art is experienced through the senses and the artist's connection with his or her creation, aesthetically, and pragmatically.
