Tapping in "to" Tapped Out: "Thinking about Conceptual Art"
Lincoln, Kim; Stephens, Pam
SchoolArts: The Art Education Magazine for Teachers, v105 n2 p24-25 Oct 2005
Perhaps one of the best ways to describe conceptual art is to quote an old bumper sticker, "If you like conceptual art, think about honking." Conceptual art is an art movement that came into prominence in the 1960s. Like other movements in modern art, conceptual art broke with established tradition. In conceptual art, ideas or perceptions are as important as product. Conceptual artists reject the idea that art must hang on a wall or sit on a pedestal. As the bumper sticker suggests, conceptual art is about ideas. Given this break with art traditions, there is little wonder that viewers often respond to conceptual works of art with confusion. It is this confusion, however, that offers rich learning opportunities for students. This article explores the artwork of Tiffany Carbonneau, a young American ceramicist whose conceptual poses many questions.
