REQUIRED – The total of your responses to all questions must add up to at least 500 words. Please remember to cite your sources and use a proper essay format to answer the questions.
Do a little research on the start of the Modernism and the Modern Art period with the various resources provided on the Module 1 Overview page. Complete the following tasks and write up a response in your own words to the following questions:
Research the Impressionist Edouard Manet’s painting Luncheon on the GrassLinks to an external site. (Le dejuener sur l’herbe). It is housed in the collection of Impressionist art at the Musee d’Orsay in Paris, FranceLinks to an external site..  Find out why his painting was so shocking for its time –  What were the rules of painting in the 1860’s and who decided on them? To answer this, pay attention to what is said in the video by the two art historians. How did Manet’s painting break with that tradition? In other words, make sure you clearly comment on the historical and cultural context for this painting.
Write your own set of standards/criteria for art and then sum it up in a personal definition of ART.
Do some research and try to find “art” that challenges your personal definition and standards. Ask yourself “Is this art according to my definition? You can also look in the Module 1 Overview area for these supplemental resources: Alex Donis, Eric Fischl’s “Tumbling Woman”, Dana Schutz, Shocking Art – Piero Manzoni, and Dread Scott, all examples of “art” that might challenge your definition and standards.  Explain your decision to accept or reject the “shocking art” you found by applying your personal definition from above.
In your own words, define AVANT-GARDE and ABSTRACT.
OPTIONAL – I also encourage you to go to the Module 1 Overview area and look for the link to the Futurist Manifesto 1909. You can read this example of a manifesto to get a feel for the type of avant-garde attitude that existed at this time.
Write a clear and reasonably intelligent answer to all of these questions in one paper of at least 500 words.
