§ Have you ever made art? What kind of art do you like?
o I have made art before, but not recently, unless creating a tree out of cardboard boxes during my student teaching art! I enjoy all types of art. I am a craft kind of girl.
§ Have you ever made a drawing? A painting? A sculpture?
o I have experimented with drawing and painting, but no sculptures.
§ When was the last time you went to a museum? Gallery? Artist studio?
o It has been a while since my last visit to a museum, gallery, or artist studio. I traveled to Spain
§ Have you ever been to a play? Opera? Art Film? Do you dance?
o Yes, I have been to several plays. My favorite plays happen to be Broadway ones. I saw Mamma Mia last year and fell in love! I have not been to an Opera before. Of the top of my head, I cannot think of an art film I have seen. I took Ballet and Jazz for several years growing up so yes, I “think” I can dance!
§ Under what conditions do you learn the most?
o I learn best with visuals and through hands-on activities or experiences.
§ Why are you taking this class?
o I am taking this class because I am an Early Childhood major.
§ Has any of the arts ever moved you in any way? How?
o I think plays and ballets have moved me more than a piece of art. The music, movement, and story behind them are all moving.
§ What inspires you?
o Music really inspires me. A good song can change my mood immediately.
§ What is art?
o Anything that portrays a story.
§ Do you consider movies art? Music? Video games? Comics? Television?
o Until this question, I did not consider any of those to be art. After reading this, I believe they are all different forms of art.
§ Who decided what is good art? How do they know?
o I am not sure if there is one particular person that decided what good art is. Personally, I believe that each person takes away something different from art. It is up to the individual to decide whether or not it is good.
§ When you debate music or movies with your friends, what critical elements or standards do you hold them to?
o With music, it is usually whether or not we can sing-a-long to it or if it sounds like something we’ve heard before.
o With movies, our debates stem from whether or not we like the story line, the ending, the characters, or if they had good chemistry.
§ What was the best movie of last year?
o I did not see many new movies last year so I’ll go with the most recent one, Country Strong.
§ What is an “Art Film”?
o Tough question. The obvious answer is a film about art, but some how, I am thinking there is more than that!
§ What CD or MP3 is in your player?
o A mix CD from a friend.
