Greetings and 2nd partial project

Hello guys and girls. Well, this is the blog I told you about on class and/or by mail. In this blog you will find more detailed information that the one seen in class... and, of course (hurrah!) you have to study it for the exams. (Please read the first post to check those movements you don't have).

Also, I will post here your assignments as well as the best projects you present to me.

And talking about projects, this is the 2nd partial project. Group 26 will have to email it to me at wednesday's night, and 25 will have to do it at thursday's night.

You will choose two art movements and will look for an uncommon painting of that movement. (The less common, the better grade... so, if you choose Leonardo da Vinci do not put La Gioconda, nor the Last Dinner). You will have to talk a little bit of the painting, and write down what it makes you feel and why. Also you will have to write down what you think the painter was trying to express or what he/she was feeling.

Beside that, you will choose one mexican painter (Tomorrow I will post the different mexican painters we are going to review at class) and you will have to do the same that you did on the previous step. So, you must put a total of three paintings in the project.

You won't present them at class, you just have to send them to me by email. All projects must be presented on word or power point. You must include the image, the name of the painting, the material (if found) and the name of the painter.

If you have any doubt please email me.

Greetings and have an excellent weekend.
