The Valid Visual Deconstruction of Art?
Submitted by mott on November 16, 2008 - 16:52
A TED Talks video by Ursus Wehrli on "Tidier Art" that may be useful for visual arts, Theory of Knowledge, and other classes to get students to think about the meaning and creation of art - particularly at the older grade levels. The video presents a humorous concept to help generate class discussion, and Wehrli uses famous paintings as examples. Particularly worth the price of admittance (free) for his use of props to make a joke about PowerPoint presentation "slides" at the high-tech TED conference... that is, if visual gags are your thing.
