Who gets to call it Art?

Consider two very different ideas:

"All art is a kind of confession, more or less oblique. All artists, if they are to survive, are forced, at last, to tell the whole story; to vomit the anguish up." - James Baldwin

"Art is what you can get away with." - Andy Warhol


Supporting Studies...Before You Blog

For Unit 3 you will need a supporting studies folder. This folder should contain evidence of your depth and breadth of investigation in to your chosen subject.

Evidence of your research should include:

First hand visits evidence (to work that relates to your Personal Study)
Research Sheets
Photocopied articles from books and magazines (annotated)
Short essays

When you post on your blog you need to be evaluative - for example about something you have read or seen
