Write a short piece (2 to 3 paragraphs) exploring the role of art in your life—what have you been exposed to in the past? (museums, local art scene, friends/family who are artists, classes you may have taken, arts/crafts you may have learned/studied). In relation to this, to what degree have you been influenced by the ‘Canon’ of art history and the most famous works of art of a given era? How have these shaped your thinking and/or approaches to understanding why certain forms of art are perceived as more valuable than others?
