Post Instructions

If art
lacks a clear definition, what criteria are used to determine what a work of
art is? Please look at several works on any museum website to discuss what
constitutes “art.” Some major museums include the Metropolitan Museum
of Art, Art Institute of Chicago, or National Gallery of Art, or consider
finding a local museum. The permanent collection is normally under the
Collections link, but feel free to explore the entire website for your
selection.

For the
initial post, address the following:

What
approaches should we take in responding to a work of art?

Select an
example of art that fits your definition of art and provide an example of
non-art (either from the site or in the world around you).

Determine
how line, color, texture, and/or composition are part of your definition.
