My Final Thoughts

As we wrap up this blog for the semester and our class, I feel like I should say something about what I've learned. I did not realize it, but before I took this class, I had no clue about anything to do with the artworld. This course has taught me a lot of interesting things to think about when it comes to art. I've pondered over whether art is an imitation of an imitation and over whether or not beauty is the promise of happiness. To be honest, I did not think the definition of what art is was so argued upon before this class. I leave this class no more sure of what is art, but I feel like I know reasons why art is so hard to pinpoint. I feel educated and can feel more right in saying that I'm a core member of the artworld.
