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
