Evaluation of Artistic Merit Notes from Sep 20th

                                                                  20/09/2007

Here are the 5 different topics we came up with in class.

 

1. Stratification of artistic medium

            -what we feel makes a good comic

2. Purposeful art

            -tells you something

            -ie: Contract w/Godàstyle changes throughout story

3. Moral values?

            -comics good/bad? Do they function as moral?

4. Language/Literary significance

            -Mythology/Greek Pantheon represented as heroes

5. Level of complexity/junk

            -reading it once & getting the point

                        -some have deeper meanings

            -argue for/against comics as junk

            -high literature vs. graphic novels

            -criteria of art: dimension=art à juxtaposition=dimension

elaboration is art

intentionality (if artist says it's art then it is)

intensity of emotion (not melodrama) / authenticity of emotion

challenge

craftsmanship

 

These are the groups

1.      Candice, Michelle, Sarah, Heather

2.      Marcy, Wendy, Ashleigh

3.      Elise, Shemez, Victoria, Theresa

4.      Heather, Simon, Kelvie, Yilun, Kalervo, Kaitlyn

5.      Kalervo, Joseph, Brianna, Mary

 

As far as I know we are all to do a little research & either add our thoughts/ideas & examples of texts to the blog or bring them to class.
