Pick an artist (can be a musician, poet, painter, photographer, whatever). In two pages, double spaced, cover these three points:
What is that artist saying? (what’s their work about)
How is he/she saying it? (technique)
Why does he/she matter to you (what's your personal connection?)
The videos we viewed in class, and way more, can be seen at http://www.pbs.org/art21/
This is an incredible resource for you guys to dive into regarding contemporary artists and their practices. You do not have to use an artist from this site, but viewing some of these artists' videos might help in reviewing the three points above.
Due 4/14.
