Due by next week, 3 blog posts
:1. Field Trip response 2. Online Lecture Questions 3. Homework blog post

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Class #5 Fieldtrip Response: Post an image of the second work that you studied at MOMA and also your answers  to the 13 categories of content for this art object in a blog post.




2. Class #5 Lecture: Watch the lecture below and the linked video interview with Janine Antoni, then answer the following questions in a blog post.

a. Describe the process of Antoni's rope-making piece, Moor (2001), that is discussed at length in the video. What is this piece about?


b. The process of rope-tying that she learned is very different from the process of action painting.How is this method particularly appropriate to the meaning that she wants to get across?


c. Do you think a person completely ignorant of Antoni's work, someone with no verbal information to assist them, would understand the meaning of Moor ? What would they get? What would they miss?


3. HW:

 Think about skills that you know, that are important to your family, your traditions, or that you pride yourself in knowing.

Describe in a paragraph-long blog post how you would adapt one of those skills to make an artwork that communicates something important about you, your family, your culture, or some important knowledge about yourself. Think about what materials you would use, the location where you would display the artwork, the group of people you would ask to help in the process, if any. Let yourself think about this problem throughout the week. When your write,be detailed about the how you learned the skill, why it's meaningful to you, the steps in the process, and how you would incorporate other meaning into this process, and what it ultimately is produced as a result of this process.
