Notes

Scope questions for the Arts: - What is and is not art? Where do we draw the boundary — and does it matter? - What counts as knowledge in the arts? Can a painting or a piece of music be a knowledge claim? - How is knowledge in the arts different from knowledge in the sciences?

Exhibition preview: Think ahead to how your objects for the Arts mini-Exhibition might link to these scope questions.
