Blog Post #8: Final Topic

Blog Post #8: Final Topic

DUE: 5/06

For this eighth blog assignment, you will discuss your final project: explain how and why you chose the topic, what you learned from the course influenced your decision, and how you are progressing in your research right now.

140 characters (max)

This is a relatively short assignment because we are in this era where your resume is not getting you a job but your "tweet" would be (read about this phenomenon HERE). I expect students to come up with a line or lines that can catch your classmates' attention and make them feel they want to read your paper (and/or are excited to watch your performance art). Read the textbook for Action Painting (page 521-523), Action Sculpture (page 548-549), and Performance (page 554). If you need resources for performance artists, you can watch video documentations HERE.

At the end of your post, please cite three art images that you use for your final project. Find those images in a database in the following format. The label information is generally available in the database:

Artist’s Full Name
“Title of Work” written in quotations*
Medium
Year Completed

*When referencing the work in the body of your writing, also be sure to write the titles in quotations.
