Your Last 2 Posts...

OK, ideally you will be making 2 posts today.
1 will look like this:

Pete showed the artist TOM SULLIVAN to Roger.
Roger showed the artist BETTY MAXWELL to Pete.

Your 2nd post should be anonymous and cover ONE THING you liked about this class and think I should definitely continue to do next year, and ONE THING you did not enjoy so much and could probably be re-thought and/or done better next year.

Do not worry about hurting my sensitive little feelings, criticism can help one grow.
(... of course, please try to refrain from reverting the beasts
some of you became on the last discussion - blog, this will be my last and enduring impression of y'all...)

It's The Final Countdown...

OK.
I am out today because my GF is getting an ultrasound, so we can actually see the little creature in her belly.
Exciting!
FRIDAY y'all will be introducing your 'Artists Who Aren't Dead Yet' mini-presentations (we don't have class on Thursday, that is the P.2 and P.4 FINALS day)...

These are 20 points.

Remember YOU CAN work with a partner.

We need to see 3 images of their work.
The Easiest way to do this would probably be TO EMAIL THEM to yourself, so they'll be waiting for you in your -inbox-.
And don't forget the small amount of biographical information that was on that sheet I gave out.

ALSO, if you haven't turned your book in yet, I can take it tomorrow- but do not ask the sub to deal with it.
Just hold on to it one more day.

I will have the FINALS graded by class on FRIDAY.

And lastly - YOUR PAPERS are due Friday (50 points).

Have
A
Nice
Day!!!

MAY 17th, Group Project LAB day

Make some decisions today!
With your group or partner, take some of the first steps on your group project -
Designing an art history video game.
You only have 10 days left to complete this (I think...)...

You should start deciding the layout and STYLE of game.
You should decide WHAT WILL BE TAUGHT within the context of the game.
Maybe even come up with a character concept... If your game even HAS characters.


Read that handout.
This is no simple group project! Who will be making the visual aids? Will they be made on the computer or on posterboard?

TODAY is also a good time to do the first piece of research for your PAPER.
1) WHO will your artist be writing his/her letter TO?
2) WHAT specific piece of their work will be discussed?

My engine sort of blew up this weekend, and my Subaru is (hopefully) getting patched back together today... But I will be back tomorrow even if I have to -take the bus- yyeeeuccchhh....

ISM list

This will only help you if it makes sense to you.
Wikipedia definitions won't help if you don't understand them.

The terms you are responsible for this 6 weeks are all ART MOVEMENTS after the 19th Century.

You will be responsible for the artist's name and the MOVEMENT on the final test... Again, titles will be extra credit.

Keep in mind that some artists (arguably) belong to more than one movement, or maybe don't fit with the movement our text book suggests. We will spend some class time (especially during the review) classifying people.

BUT FIRST.
It will greatly help you if you understand what these movements were all about. Define these movements in terms you will understand. Read the definitions, do a google image search and look at examples of the work... How will you identify these movements to YOURSELF?

REMEMBER- you can only use notes taken on the backs of worksheets for this class!!!
