Entry Response #5: Art and the Little Things in Life

After completing the still life art project, I would like you to reflect on aspects of it in relation to Benjamin Franklin, art in general, and our novel. Please answer, in brief, ALL of the following questions...


1) What do you think makes this style a style of "real" art? Do you think it is "real" art?

2) Do you feel you have created a work of art? Why? Why not? If not, What might make it feel or seem more artistic?

3) What were the ideas that we listed yesterday that made this art popular? How do these relate to Benjamin Franklin?

4) Why do you think celebrating the small things, or paying close attention to detail, might relate to our novel?

5) List three examples from our story so far that paying close attention to detail or seeing the little, more ordinary things, have helped Amy and Dan get closer to the treasure and solving the clue.

  1. 1.I think that the thing that makes this stile art real is because we are drawing somthing real and yes i do think that it is real art.
    2. I feel like i created real art because it was somthing of real art .
    3. The ideas that we listed yesterday that made this art popular is that vincen vango would draw this stuff and just random stuff and also because benjamin franklin drew still stuff to celebrate little things and to show the world how important it is even if its the smallest and ranomest thing.
    4. I think that celebrating the small things and paying attention and th pay close attention to the detail is because even the smallest thing can make a diffrence.
    5. One is the monument in the library of all the branches that helped lead them to the secret library. Two useing the black light for the secret message. Three nowing that the battery and nowing what franklin use to do to his friends when he wanted to shock them.

  2. 1. I think that this is real art, because it shows how simple yet wonderous simple things can be. I think this is very much real art.

    2. I feel that I have created something simple that can still be celebrated. Because though it is so average, it is a great work of man.

    3. They show that you should celebrate the simple things in life. Ben Franklin liked the idea of Still Life because they show all the easy and simple things in life.

    4. You have to pay attention to some of the most easy and non related things to a situation to find out a true answer.

    5. When dan noticed the Emblem that made the sliding door hopen
    When Dan noticed the man with bernoculars.
    When Amy relized the Jewlery box was about to be gone.

  7. I think art doesn't have to be good I think you should draw what ever you want and it doesn't matter what any body thinks about it it's your drawing

    In some ways because I like a maybe some other person might like it but its not like the leonardo divenchi but now I know its not the worst drawing ever

    It made it popular because its simple.
