Art is an important element of human existence.
As we have discovered and will discover in class, expression through art has been important to human beings from as long as 30,000 years ago to the present. Today, this expression takes many forms in our society and Iowa State University has many pieces of art on campus that illustrate this diversity. As students, you will select one piece of artwork on campus or in the ISU art museum, research articles and other information about that art, and express your reactions to the piece of artwork and articles about that artwork in writing. This essay focuses your ability to describe your reaction to a certain piece of art, much like you described how you felt about writing in the first essay. This essay also utilizes your summary skills as you are required to present the ideas of at least one other person who has written about the piece of are you have chosen to discover.
