Use the topics and questions suggested by the theme of the season to initiate your discussion. For the summer's reflective conversation, the circle observes creative expressions that challenge preconceived ideas of what we feel is aesthetic. The circle observes public art in all its forms and proceeds to discuss what they find to be "off the wall", strange, profane, absurd or pure non-sense. As opposing viewpoints surface, challenge yourself to be open-minded. Before meeting, write down three public art pieces that question your idea of beauty. Some examples may include: architectural landmarks, public parks, graffiti sculptures. 1. 2. 3. Suggestions for topic discussions: Observe creative expressions within your community as well as globally. Discuss decadent trends, political statements, local and national theater and arts movements. What is provocative to the public eye? Define conventional vs. unconventional in the world of functional art. State other related topics for discussions you'd like to explore here: |
