Todays Lecture

What is art? ... In todays class we discussed what art is and I found out that many different people have many different views on what art actually is. We also took a look at the impulse of art and to present or re-present.

Representation - One thing stands in for another.

Styles of Representation
Naturalistic - as in nature
Realistic - true to life
Stylized - simplified to emphasizing important details.
Abstract - highly stylized
Non-Representational is different from abstract.
 We then took a look at the scale of representation. At one end of the line is Hardcore Naturalism Realism and on the other side is Abstract. In the middle of those two is Stylization.
