1. Chapter 1 and 2 What is Art? Our world has become a very visual one - we have art all around us. Understanding art is understanding our world! A good first step is to try to understand what we mean by art. What is Art? There are no single answers and not everyone will agree on a definition. Book art Collage Salvador Dali Persistence of Memory
9. Does art have to be representational? Is it necessary for it to actually look like something, such as a woman, or a vase of flowers? Does art have to be realistic? Is it better if it is realistic? What makes it realistic? Can it be something that suggests something real, even if it doesn't look exactly like our eye sees it in real life? Gauguin Matisse Whistler
