[Solved] Demonstrates Good Writing Mechanics
Art in Everyday Life
Marking art and appreciating it is about sharpening our skills in seeing art. It is in abundance around us. Consider these examples:
- A mural or graffiti on the side of a building.
- A sculpture or a fountain.
- Patchwork quilts hanging on a clothesline.
- A photograph we can’t stop looking at.
- A meal that appeals to our palettes, our eyes, and our sense of smell.
- A house we’ve driven by and always wanted to live in.
- A garden that makes us stop driving, get out of our car, and take in the smells and the view.
- An artifact (a smooth stone, an ornament, a box, a book) that we keep close because of its personal meaning for us.
