What is art? (2)

Weeping Woman (1937) Pablo Picasso

For your reference here is the worksheet we started last lesson. You worked really well which shows you quite enjoyed reading these extraordinary texts taken from the book Atom Station by Halldór Laxness.

And don't forget ... before starting you should always read instructions carefully :-))

Reading Project

By now, I guess everybody is busy reading and reading your chosen books. I acknowledge you did not exactly choose the easy way, which is great :-)
So it's time to post here some guidelines so you know what is expected of you in your oral presentation and written assignment.
Make sure you know when your presentation is due. Click here.

What is ART?

I don't think we will ever answer this question but we  can certainly read and find out more about ART.

To start with here is an extract from Gombrich's classic The Story of Art.  


Note: This is a book I strongly recommend. 

Are we talking Human Rights?

Switzerland votes on minaret ban
Check the worksheet and start preparing the debate.
See how Europe, or European's press, reacted to the outcome of the vote.

So this is 2010...

Happy New Year ... Hope all your wishes come true :-)

Here is how we will be starting the New Year. Yes, we'll be talking about Human Rights.
