WHAT IS ART?

CHECK POINT:

​List at least 5 different categories of art. What 3 things do all of the arts have in common? What is the difference between visual and decorative arts?

LETS DISCUSS:

STEP 1: Read and Think
Still making headlines today, Emma Sulkowicz’s enduring performance (begun in September 2014 as a thesis project) involved carrying a 50-pound mattress around with her wherever she went on New York City’s Columbia campus, where she was alleges she was raped by a fellow student in 2012. The artist promised the piece would end only if and when her supposed rapist was expelled from the university. He was not, so Sulkowicz carried the mattress onstage during her graduation ceremony to bring the performance to a close in May 2015—not before making a lasting impression on critics and the public alike.
