End of the world (class) as we know it...

(apologies for the ad..)

OK everyone- here we go on the final stretch...

Post all of your blog assignments...
Bring your Process Journals and Lab Books to class tomorrow to turn in for grading...
Come prepared with a 1 page  Artistic Merit Award paper (typewritten with 3 cited sources...)
Bring a treat to share...

We will watch presentations, vote for the most worthy, and celebrate a semester of good work and interesting conversations about art....

Oh, and don't forget to post your favorite art/music videos to the blog for our distinguished panel of judges...(appropriate for general viewing, please!)

And speaking of art censorship... here is a link to a NY Times article about the latest arts/censhorship controversy: the removal of an excerpt from the artist David Wojnarowicz’s video “A Fire in My Belly” from an exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery at the Smithsonian.  (remember our 'Difficult (challenging) Art' discussion?)
Food for thought...agree, disagree, indifferent?

Stay warm and see you all tomorrow!
