Some of you misunderstood the discussion board. You were suppose to talk about *HOW* art reflects culture; not tell me, "Art reflects culture." You needed to supply examples from what you've studied.
Sarah Freitag did a great job:
See below:
Personally, I believe that art reveals the side of culture and society that cannot be put into words. The art we have seen this semester are perfect examples of the emotions, along with the traditions, that can be portrayed through this form of expression. Bright, vibrant colors exemplify a festive culture, while darker shades may show the hardships in which some societies have had to endure. At the same time, the advancement in art and styles can help someone from an outside culture to better understand where a specific society is when it comes to technology and moving forward. There are just so many unspoken concepts that can only be revealed through art!
And Kristen Blocker, who gave us an example from what she learned:
See below:
Honestly, I have never known much about art, so I had very little interest in it. The activities we have done have really showed me a lot. One way I understand Spanish culture a little better is the type of art they have. For example, when we research Day of the Dead they had all kinds of art to show respect and kind of explain their traditions. Its like the saying a picture says a thousand words. Well that's art. A picture of how they feel explains what their culture means to them and helps you see it from their perspective.
Great job, girls!
