Discussion Post
Before you begin this week’s post, sit for a minute and think about what you watched this week.
We learned a lot about creative expression. Let us talk about it.
For your initial post :
Why is creative expression essential to the Humanities?
Ethan Hawke describes creativity as a method of healing, do you agree? Why or why not?
Do you believe you have to ‘know yourself’ to be creative? Or can you ‘find yourself’ by being creative? A little of both? Explain.
From “Street Art,” choose one artist who uses politics and social issues as subject matter. What issues do they bring to light? Choose another artist who has non-political work, what is their work about?
Do you believe there is a difference between street art and vandalism? Explain.
Find and photograph (or draw) an example of Street Art or graffiti from your local area and post it here. What do you think the work is about? Is the artist trying to convey a specific message? What media has been used? Where is the location of the work?

Introduction Post Pt. 2
Hello, Again Class!
Now that you have watched and read about the Humanities, let us sit with our thoughts for a moment…
Think about how Pennington and Leezenberg presented the humanities in the texts.
For your initial post : (200-300 words)
What are the humanities based on the two texts? Use examples when possible.
Has your definition of the humanities differed from your Introduction Post pt.1? What has changed?
Do you feel as if the humanities are a part of your everyday life? Explain.
