BLOCK 4 ART
For this week’s Art, I have directed you to look through a website which provides background on “Feminist Art.” (It’s in quotations because the phrase invokes a period and style of art, not because you are learning feminist theory.) For Block 4 art, we will not all focus on the same pieces. I am sending you to an outside webpage, which features many artists and their output. I would like you to read the basic information on the main page, then sift through some of the linked artists and highlighted works. Pick one or two artists to focus on and focus your remarks in the Discussion board on those individuals.
1.Select two images you wish to comment on. Any two images from material assigned this week, which may include images that appeared in readings or in assigned vicdos. Obviously, of course, the website The Art Story will have many possibilities to choose from. To make it easier for us to follow your post (because images may not have been seen by others prior to seeing them here), please download/paste or copy/paste the images you are writing about into your post.
2. Consider the assigned videos and readings that raised issues related to the practice of being a curator. Pick one of the following ideas and build your post around that.
A.What insights did you gain about the craft of curatorship from this Week’s assignments?
B.How do curators take race and ethnic identity into consideration when evaluating a piece of art for an exhibit or museum wall? What surprised you or did not surprise you? What special complications does race create?
C.To what degree must curators also be aware of general history to practice their craft?
D.Any thing else about curators or curatorships that caught your attention this Week that you care to write 150 words about….
