Task2:

In an internet forum there is a discussion whetheter this is art or not. Add your own thoughts and say:

• What do you consider art?
• Is this picture art for you?

In my opinion art has to say something for everyone. You can call nearly everything art, because for yourself a photo, a painting or a sculptur can be art.
But I'm sure that pictures from children cannot be art. Their pictures are abstract and there is no main idea behind the pictures. I think every art work should evoke feelings in people. Abstract art is something different for everyone. That's why I really like abstract art. I also like some photos. A photo should emphasize something special. In my opinion this photo isn't art. Everyone could have made this. The colours aren't special and the subject is boring. I can't understand why this photo is part of an exhibition. I'm quite certain that nobody wants to see the feet of a woman in the garden.

Task1:
Write a letter to a friend! Describe the picture "The Problem we all live with" on the next page to him! Tell him what the artist wanted to express in your opinion! Tell him about your own thoughts and emotions about this picture!



Dear Markus,
The painting "The Problem we all live with" shows us four men who are Deputy US Marshall. They are white. Two of them are on the right side and the other two on the left side. They wear suits. A little, black girl is off centre. Looks as if she's on her way to school, because she has an exercise book and some pencils in her hand. The girl is between the men. In the background you can see a wall. I'm certain that at the top of the wall is a faded graffiti called "Nigger". Below this word you see a red smudge because somebody hurled at the litte girl. At the bottom of the painting there is the name of the artist. The painter's name is Norman Rockwell. The artist wants to provoke our thoughts. All people are equal no matter which colour your skin is. You should respect everyone. When I look at this painting I get the impression that the artist is against racism. Maybe he has his own experience about racists. I really like the main idea and I also like the monochrome coulours.
You cannot say that people are better only because they are white. Think about that!

Yours, Jana

What happens when we die?

I believe that there is something after death, but I don't know what. Life after death or rebirth is nonsense in my opinion. The Christians believe in heaven and hell, but I think this religion only wants that nobody does something wrong. So they say that you will go to hell if you do something bad. In my opinion it's very naiv and I cannot believe in those traditional things.
Maybe there is nothing more after life. So your life is finished and that's it. Nobody know what will happen until we die. The more I think about this topic the more I'm at a loss.
So the result is that i don't have a clue what will happen.
But I'm not really scarred of dying, because everyone has to die and I think I will not die in the next few years.
