Discussion Questions 
 
 


1. How can an installation art piece  be used to teach an academic subject? Give examples according to your own field of studies.

2. Why is nature's art or environmental art a valid way of bringing attention to ecology?

3. A collage develops several skills while allowing children to be creative. Explain.

4. Class could  begin with music and a warm up. Students are invited to get on their feet, get away from their desks and follow the professor's muscle groups - isolation warm up. 

In previous classes, we added conscious breathing at the end of the warm up,  self-affirmations,  meditation, mindfulness and relaxation techniques.


How and why would you implement the warm up done in class so far in your future lessons?

 9. What did Marcel Duchamp imply when he considered certain kinds of art "retinal"?

10.  Both Brian Petro and Jacob Intilé use similar techniques when creating their pieces. In which way is their work significant for students with little or no budget for art production?

11. According to A. Huberman, what is the relationship between divergent and convergent thinking in relation to dopamine and the creative process?

12. Based on the discussion we had in class about beauty, what is your own concept of beauty? Dialogue with the philosophical definitions given in class.
