Hello All,
Here are a few more readings and videos to think about as you develop your paper, bio and artist statements..
All materials are required viewing. What function do these videos / readings serve for the individual artists / viewer? When you view an "Art21" can you imagine it as vehicle for formulating your thesis / final project? How is it useful for you from a pedagogical point of view? Is it important for you as a "teacher" to concisely examine and discuss your own artwork? Click the comments link below to publish your responses. Remember, it may be helpful to write your response in a format such as text-edit, check for errors and then copy and paste to the blog. Please remember to post your real name at the top of your response. Responses are Due by Tuesday, 2/19/13 at midnight.
Warm regards,
Terri

Ten Lies and Three Truths


Hello All,
Please click the comments link below and post Ten Lies and Three Truths about the art work you have been creating and your modus operendi. The objective here is to carefully craft these lies. For example, to simply say "I never use red." is a really thin and poorly constructed lie. Sample fabrications can be found here.
