Art takes a variety of forms. Name two examples presented in this chapter that you were suprised at being considered works of art. Why were you suprised

Art is any subjective representation of the world, according to the artist's gaze, who represents it according to his own perceptions, trying to give his representation an aesthetic sense. There are various forms of art, such as painting, music, photography, cinema, etc.

Two forms of art that surprise me because they are considered as such are photography and architecture. In photography, the artist does not create or represent a work, but simply captures a certain image that he has not modified; and architecture because the architect performs his work for a technical purpose, and only then for aesthetics.

i believe the correct answer is: must sculpture be beautiful to be considered art?

the aesthetics represents the exploring of beauty and taste of nature in art, with the creation and appreciation of beauty. having that in mind, i believe the appropriate aesthetic question you could ask about gianlorenzo bernini’s sculpture david is “must sculpture be beautiful to be considered art? ”.
