RE: Help! Need Ideas for art debate

....HOw about igniting a discussion about the relevance of conceptual and
abstract art. You could probe your students by asking them some of the
following questions...

...Is it enough for a painting to just be beautiful to look at?

Does a painting have to be about 'something,?' Or can a painting be
successful simply because its fun to look at?

Is a painting or work of art successfull even if its ugly to look at ?

....Just some ideas for you...
