choose ONE of the following questions, and give a substantive response to at least two other students.1. YOU, THE ARTISTWrite a poem or a brief essay, draw or paint a picture, make a carving, compose a song, take a series of photographs. Consider doing a self-portrait in any artistic medium or literary form, representational or abstract. To get started, you might look at “Project Art-a-Day” at http://projectartaday.blogspot.com/2013/03/lesson-value-self-portraits.htmlInclude images or audio files of your creative efforts in your response. Then reflect on your experience.2. CROSS-FERTILIZATIONPresent and discuss an example of cross-fertilization between two or more art forms. For example, you might compare a theater presentation with a film adapation of the same play, or discover and describe how a poem can be illustrated as a drawing or painting. For this discussion, you might also compare art forms between two different cultures. For example, you might compare how religious images or music differ between religious or cultural groups.Be sure to include images and links so everyone can see or hear what you’re discussing.3. REVIEW A TED TALKTED stands for Technology, Entertainment, and Design. The TED organization sponsors global presentations on “Ideas Worth Spreading.”Go to the website https://www.ted.com/ . Find a TED talk that addresses the value of one of the humanities fields covered in this course or a controversy in one of the humanities disciplines. Write a review of the presentation. First, identify the name of the speaker and the presentation, indicate when it was presented, and give a link to the talk. Second, describe the main points of the TED talk. Finally, offer a critique —your assessment of the speaker’s ideas and the presentation overall. 4. DISCUSS FUNDING FOR THE ARTSAlthough most people appreciate the arts as part of their everyday lives (perhaps, especially, music and film), the arts often are first to go when public school funding is tight. Use the educational resources for this week as a starting place to explore the pros and cons of public funding for the arts and funding for art and music in public schools.

John Berger's book Ways of Seeing does not explicitly refer to the "canon," but many of the works of art that he discusses in Chapters 1, 3, and 5 are, in fact, recognizable as canonical in the sense that they are by recognized "masters" in the history of western art. Explain In a paragraph in what way(s) Berger attempts to make his readers question the validity of the canon of western art by the general observations he makes about these masterpieces in these three chapters. Or, to ask the question another way, how does Berger try to make his readers come to their own opinion about what is good art or bad art, rather than simply accept what they are told? AS PART OF YOUR RESPONSE YOU MUST INCLUDE AT LEAST ONE RELEVANT QUOTATION (INSIDE QUOTES) FROM THE READING, CITING PAGE NUMBER.
