FIRST TERM PAPER

I.

Explain in your own words:( 1.50 points) a) why some people criticise modern art b) why the great artists of the past were so admired c) what cartoons show us about art d) why nobody criticises the length of Mickey Mouses tail. e) how would you define modern art

Many people who profess to love art are offended when pictures do not look real. They consider that this shows a lack of skill in modern artists who do not have enough knowledge to draw correctly and who cannot compare with the great masters of the past. Such masters were able to render faithfully the visible world around them by much labour and the recording of every tiny detail. Yet there is not much mystery about these distortions of nature about which people still complain today when talking about modern art. Everyone who has seen a Disney film or a comic strip knows that it is sometimes right to draw things otherwise than they look. Mickey Mouse does not look very much like a real mouse, yet people do not get indignant about the length of his tail! II.
