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!!!
IMPRESSIONISM
POINTILISM
CUBISM
FAUVISM
EXPRESSIONISM
SYMBOLISM
SURREALISM
Abstract Art
Pop Art

SILENT DISCUSSION
Today, you will get your discussion points through blogging.
For the 5 points you will answer one of the following questions in 2-3 sentences-
AND THEN-
'react' or 'respond' to 2 of your peers comments.
Agree or disagree or add to their train of thought, but your posts must have SUBSTANCE to count!!!!!
A mere "I agree!" or "You are so smart!" WILL NOT COUNT.
Don't forget to end with your name on all 3 of the comments that you make today.
OK.
Here are the QUESTIONS.
1) With the appearance of the first major ART CRITIC (john ruskin),the question is-
WHO IS THE BIGGEST influence on what you like?
WHOSE OPINION do you take as 'gospel'?
WHO do you listen to about artistic matters? clothes, movies, music, etc...?
WHO is this person in your life NOW?
Who was your biggest influence 10 years ago?
Who do you think will be your biggest influence in 10 years?
2) Without getting too spiritual, how do you think someone knows when they've found the thing they want to pursue for the rest of their lives? THEY JUST FEEL IT, is not an acceptable answer - really think about HOW YOU WILL know when you find your future career path...
3) Can art kill someone? How?
Can art save someone's life? How?
I KNOW YOU MIGHT try to answer this question with a joke or something, like, "YES, if it falls off the wall and crushes their skull..." But if you answer this question, try and think less literally...
REMEMBER - I ONLY COUNT INTELLIGENT RESPONSES!!!

INVENTIONS
The QUESTIONS are: Which of these inventions would you buy for yourself?
AND
Which of these items would you buy for someone else? AND WHY?
I would get the SOAP for myself (to help me wake up in the morning) and the NEEDLE for my mom (because she sews...alot... and she is getting old, too...)

Greek and Roman Sculpture
You and your partner have to do some internet research. Your task is to find 2 differences and 2 similarities in Greek and Roman sculpture.
I do not suggest trying to find an article that someone has written and posted... It is alot of reading and most articles discuss the differences in their ARCHITECTURE, not their SCULPTURE.
I recommend that you simply IMAGE SEARCH Greek sculpture and then image search Roman sculpture and use your own fresh mind, intuition, and perspective to make these observations...
You and your partner will then post these DIFFERENCES/SIMILARITIES in a post on this blog to take care of the 5 points for the quiz we are not having this week.
Click on the little comments line next to the little PENCIL below this text to add your answers/insight.
In the COMMENT AS... menu, select ANONYMOUS... BUT...
Do not forget to end your BLOG POST answer with the names of you & your partner!!!
