Remember that you are doing serious work that is challenging even to adults. At the end of this WebQuest we will be having a class debate. Therefore, you need to carefully consider the different things you read in order to formulate a final opinion which is mature and which you can back up and support. Anything from folk art to art cars to the Cadillac Ranch in Amarillo, Texas is listed as being a form of outsider art. Everything from old beat up cars to brown paper bags to mud can be used when creating non-traditional art.
Art is what one creates, whether it be on a piece of canvas or a VW bug.
This is a site that has different forms of non-traditional art from around the world. Visit the site and see what you think. See for yourself if this is a type of art that should be studied in schools. Look through the web sites for your group. After your investigation you will be assigned to debate either for or against the use of these art forms in school curriculum.
