Discussion question #2
Discussion question #1
Prompt for discussion question #1
In these three videos, the smarthistory presenters attempt to answer three big questions: “why art matters,” how the ways we look at a work shape our experiences and interpretations, “how art can help us analyze.”
Choose one of these questions and write about whether or not you think the presenters make a convincing case and pose any questions you might have. (Don’t forget to both post your own response and respond to two of your classmates.)
