What Is Your Art About?
Why are you making art? Just because your art teacher asked you to? What motivates you to work? Is it just grades or is it something deeper?
The visual arts are a powerful communication tool. They can help us not only understand our inner selves but also understand other points of view and backgrounds. The arts can perform so many functions. The only limitation is the motivation of the artist. Knowing what you want to say or do with your art is so beneficial. Do you want to learn about yourself and communicate those thoughts to the world? Do you want to investigate what humans find beautiful and try to recreate that beauty? Do you really love hot Cheetos and want to make an entire series that tries to communicate just how valuable this snack truly is to society?
This unit will help you explore how other artists have chosen the themes and meaning behind their work. The goal is to find a driving theme that inspires you to create a body of work. What message do you want to put out into the world?
