There doesn't seem to be a fine line as to what is or what isn't considered art. This seems like it is in contrast to other AOK's where we can actually make a fine distinction between what falls under there and what doesn't.]]> 2021-08-24 04:58:19 UTC https://padlet.com/prachijo/9ktkmoaf7n204kvw/wish/1692897183 https://padlet.com/prachijo/9ktkmoaf7n204kvw/wish/1692898322 Last class we talked about the nature of art: What is art and what isn't it, how can we define it. We concluded that art can be defined as a number of things. For example, it can be any product of human imagination/ingenuity, any replica of nature, or anything that the 'art world' decided art is. ]]> 2021-08-24 04:58:52 UTC https://padlet.com/prachijo/9ktkmoaf7n204kvw/wish/1692898322 https://padlet.com/prachijo/9ktkmoaf7n204kvw/wish/1692898387 Last class, we learnt about the AOK-Arts. It was insightful and very thought-provoking to listen to everyone's views on the AOK. We learnt about art as a form of self expression and even learnt about the the types of art.

We discussed the different types of art which include visual arts, performing arts, literature, graphic arts. 

We  discussed in depth about the different types of art as well as if all of these are actually considered to be art forms. 

We analysed pieces of art and discussed whether they are universally recognised as art and saw that each one of us had different opinions. We also talked about our own individual perception of art. 

We came to a conclusion that each person has a different perception as to what is art to them and what is not. For example, we saw a picture of a law mower, we discussed how for some people this may be art because there is an object which has a purpose. However, to many people it was not art because it would not signify beauty. We understood that art is about perception. ]]> 2021-08-24 04:59:55 UTC https://padlet.com/prachijo/9ktkmoaf7n204kvw/wish/1692900843 https://padlet.com/prachijo/9ktkmoaf7n204kvw/wish/1692902624 Last class was an introduction to the AOK of Arts. The discussion that my classmates and I had was very fruitful and exciting! Compared to other AOKs I have to say that even defining the word "Art" was extremely tough. Every time one of us had come to a definition of the word someone else had a perspective or argument to change that view. It was frustrating but very exciting experience to go through ! We had a very interesting discussion defining our views, our judgements, and our perspectives.]]> 2021-08-24 05:00:45 UTC https://padlet.com/prachijo/9ktkmoaf7n204kvw/wish/1692902624 https://padlet.com/prachijo/9ktkmoaf7n204kvw/wish/1692903656 the discussion about the connection between art and beauty was really insightful and gave me a lot of different perspectives to consider. i think this AOK is super subjective and insightful.]]> 2021-08-24 05:01:18 UTC https://padlet.com/prachijo/9ktkmoaf7n204kvw/wish/1692903656 https://padlet.com/prachijo/9ktkmoaf7n204kvw/wish/1692904243 Last class, we explored the AOK - Arts. A lot of the time we consider objects that are beautiful and visually appealing to be art, but as we progressed we saw that art can be defined as something that has a meaning behind it or a personal connection, and a lot of what we consider as art is based on perception. For example, we saw a controversial piece of artwork that many didn't consider to be art, while others did. Hence it can be said that what we consider as art is based on our perspective and our outlook. ]]> 2021-08-24 05:01:35 UTC https://padlet.com/prachijo/9ktkmoaf7n204kvw/wish/1692904243 https://padlet.com/prachijo/9ktkmoaf7n204kvw/wish/1692906185 We learnt about the new AOK, the arts. We talked about how to define art and how it means something different to most everyone. We learnt that art is a form of self expression and different types of arts by discussing different types of art.]]> 2021-08-24 05:02:43 UTC https://padlet.com/prachijo/9ktkmoaf7n204kvw/wish/1692906185 https://padlet.com/prachijo/9ktkmoaf7n204kvw/wish/1692907723 In the last class, we began discussing a new AOK, The Arts. Each person had a different perspective on what constitutes art, and various art forms, so it was interesting to see each person's views and opinions. I personally came to the conclusion that art is subjective and rather hard to define, as there are a plethora of things that can be termed as art. ]]> 2021-08-24 05:03:26 UTC https://padlet.com/prachijo/9ktkmoaf7n204kvw/wish/1692907723 https://padlet.com/prachijo/9ktkmoaf7n204kvw/wish/1692909254 In last class we started with the arts AOK. We discussed the definition of art and the different types of art. We had a discussion about what each person in the class would consider art and it was very interesting to see how a few people considered a variety of objects (as displayed by pictures) as art and some considered only the classical art forms such as paintings, dance, and music as art. It was very insightful to see everyone's views on the different art forms and what everyone classifies art to be. ]]> 2021-08-24 05:04:16 UTC https://padlet.com/prachijo/9ktkmoaf7n204kvw/wish/1692909254 https://padlet.com/prachijo/9ktkmoaf7n204kvw/wish/1692910281 In the previous class , we learnt about the nature of art, in great detail really meticulously. This discussion unfolded extremely vivid perspectives and as a whole the discussion was very intuitive . We learnt a lot about what art is perceived to be , and the nature of it .]]> 2021-08-24 05:04:49 UTC https://padlet.com/prachijo/9ktkmoaf7n204kvw/wish/1692910281
