7 Art as Communication It seems natural to think as Art Communicating with us. “think of Alien guy” Does ART have a language? What is this language? Do you need to know context of the Art to understand what is being communicated? i.e. he painted this during WWII etc

8 Art as Communication/Emotion
Who is in love here? Who here has said to someone I am in love with you? Ever said “I love you” using Art? Why does a poem/picture/song convey more love than the words “I love you” Why does so much pop music have love in it, why does so much ART have love in it?

9 Art as Education Art has a moral and educative role
Should ART educate you? Is a movie ART? Are we educated by Hollywood Should Art challenge what we believe?

10 Art as Education What do you see in this picture? Is it ART?
Can you see the emotion? What do you learn from it? What would a Japanese learn from it?

11 Art as Education What can a War poem tell you about the first world war rather then a purely factual account Are letters to loved ones from WW1 now ART even if the intention was just to send a letter home? We see a collection on letters portrayed as ART as they educate us
