Today, you will get your discussion points through blogging.
For the 5 points you will answer one of the following questions in 2-3 sentences-
AND THEN-
'react' or 'respond' to 2 of your peers comments.
Agree or disagree or add to their train of thought, but your posts must have SUBSTANCE to count!!!!!
A mere "I agree!" or "You are so smart!" WILL NOT COUNT.
Don't forget to end with your name on all 3 of the comments that you make today.
OK.
Here are the QUESTIONS.
1) With the appearance of the first major ART CRITIC (john ruskin),the question is-
WHO IS THE BIGGEST influence on what you like?
WHOSE OPINION do you take as 'gospel'?
WHO do you listen to about artistic matters? clothes, movies, music, etc...?
WHO is this person in your life NOW?
Who was your biggest influence 10 years ago?
Who do you think will be your biggest influence in 10 years?
2) Without getting too spiritual, how do you think someone knows when they've found the thing they want to pursue for the rest of their lives? THEY JUST FEEL IT, is not an acceptable answer - really think about HOW YOU WILL know when you find your future career path...
3) Can art kill someone? How?
Can art save someone's life? How?
I KNOW YOU MIGHT try to answer this question with a joke or something, like, "YES, if it falls off the wall and crushes their skull..." But if you answer this question, try and think less literally...
REMEMBER - I ONLY COUNT INTELLIGENT RESPONSES!!!
