Respond to the question “What is Art?” After reading Chapter 1 and looking at other sources for a definition of art, compile a list of different definitions of art to share with the class.

Select a third work of art from the text and discuss how the form and content relate. Identify at least five visual elements and/or principles of design in your analysis of the third piece.
