Art Escape
What’s Art Anyway?
Art has been an integral part of culture and the human experience for centuries. The oldest cave painting made by a Neanderthal dates back 64,000 years! And the truth is, art can be just about anything. That's part of what makes it great—and what makes it so hard to understand sometimes (remember that artist who taped a banana to the wall? And remember the other one who ate it??).
Today we'll take a blazing-fast tour of art history and explore what makes art, art. You'll visit some of the world's most amazing museums, put some sound-art into motion on your own, and try your hand at recreating a masterpiece, right from your own home. (Just don't ask your parents for duct tape and a banana. It'll only make them nervous.)
FOR PARENTS
Ask About Today
What masterpiece did you recreate for the Getty Museum challenge? Why did that piece stand out to you?
Dinner Discussion
Often, artists make art about what is going on in the world around them. If you were to make art about what's happening in our world now, what would it be about? What would it look like?
