Introduction In Chapter 1 part 2, we read excerpts from Tolstoy's "What is Art". You also watched videos that related to the value, whether monetary, emotional, or in terms of artistic innovations that people place on art. Tolstoy writes how reading a book, looking at a painting or sculpture, watching a play, dance or a musical performance, or experiencing other kinds of art can infect you with feelings, such as (but not limited to)
· feelings of love for one’s own country,
· self-devotion and submission to fate or to God expressed in a drama,
· raptures of lovers described in a novel,
· feelings of voluptuousness expressed in a picture, courage expressed in a triumphal march,
· merriment evoked by a dance, humor evoked by a funny story,
· the feeling of quietness transmitted by an evening landscape or by a lullaby, etc.
Content
· Have you ever read a book, seen a play or a dance performance, heard a band, looked an artwork (painting, photograph, sculpture, print by an adult or by a child) or a movie or a lowrider or an art car or otherwise and been moved or affected strongly in some way?
· Describe an artistic experience (visual, performing, literary) that has affected you with strong emotions, and in what way or ways was it meaningful to you.
· If you have a photograph of the event or object you are referring to, post it as well so that students may better visualize what you are describing. (If you do not have a photograph, no worries!)
· Instructions of how to post image into body of post included on page 4 of this document
