The Sketch OR Painting

  Respond to ONE of the following discussion prompts: 1. Because drawing is often the first expression of an artist’s idea, does this mean that it is superior to other media? An initial sketch or a doodle on a napkin could hold more insight into the idea in its pure state than a carefully refined or labored print or painting. What is your opinion? Discuss, using examples to illustrate your argument. OR 2. Painting is widely regarded as the most popular artistic medium and is the one that most people associate with the practice of visual art. Discuss why this might be. Why not sculpture or architecture? Is there one medium within painting, for example oil paint, or tempera, that most represents this phenomenon? Please 250 word minimum
