 Discussion Board Statement: These discussions are meant for you to jot down yo

 Discussion Board Statement: These discussions are meant for you to jot down your thoughts and analyses of the works of the week. In art, everything is evaluated by your perspective. There is no right or wrong answer to be graded against; instead, you will be graded on how you defend your analysis of the art pieces and the use of the resources (when appropriate).In this class, we have examined work with various ritual and religious functions. In numerous European Christian churches, we have explored architecture and decoration (such as frescos). This week, we read about Islamic, Hindu, and Buddhist art and architecture from South and Southeast Asia, China, Korea, and Japan.
What differences can you observe between the religious art and architecture between religions?

These can be differences in terms of function or design.

What similarities do you observe?

Do any of these similarities surprise you?

Use at least two specific examples of religious art and/or architecture from this week’s reading to support your ideas.

 Federal laboratories, Universities, or Industrial Laboratories? Based on the course readings, which institutional setting contributed most significantly to the development of physics in the 20th century? Explain your rationale with examples 
 Additionally, did 20th century physicists have more significant achievements on earth or in space (including all institutional settings)? Explain why. Finally, which physicist made the greatest contribution? Explain how, and cite a primary source written by him or her.

There is no right or wrong answer to be graded against; instead, you will be graded on how you defend your analysis of the art pieces and the use of the resources (when appropriate).Now in its ‘anything-goes’ phase, art might be harder to define than ever! Consider all the different materials, ideas expressed, and points of view you learned about in this week’s reading.
Can you combine these seemingly disparate ideas to construct a cohesive definition of ‘art’ in the 20th to 21st Centuries?
How is your definition of art today different from what it might have been at the beginning of this class?
Use specific works from this week’s reading to support your ideas.

  Thomas Nickles suggests that there are three types of people: “pro-Kuhn, anti-Kuhn, or neutral.” If you are pro-Kuhn you would, for example, agree with his terms like normal science, revolutions, and paradigm shifts, and support that science is not a “long, progressive ascent toward truth.” If you are anti-Kuhn, then you would agree with critics like Israel Scheffler who claimed that Kuhn was an “irrationalist, subjectivist, relativist, and irrealist for denying that science gives us the objective truth about reality.” 
Are you pro-Kuhn, anti-Kuhn, or neutral? Why? Support your response with examples from our readings.
