HOMEWORK: 

• THIS WEEK: 
  • DUE THURSDAY  = Semester 2 Project
    • Review the Semester 2 project assignment information carefully, including the Big Art History article; continue to generate ideas about the connections that you will be making through your post as you answer the selected question from the textbook or one that you have modified/developed on your own.
    • Read Chapter 33 with a specific focus on recognizing comparisons and contrasts between all that has come before - and also through the lens of your Semester 2 project...are there any connections that you can make to your research?
• ONGOING:
  • ​Review Study Guide and Supplemental Resources pages
• NEXT WEEK:
  • DUE June 7 = What Groupie Are You?" assignment (TEST grade)
    • As you remember, the "Caravaggisti" were followers of Caravaggio; they emulated his style and promoted it through their art production in Italy and beyond. You are also aware of Rubens and Poussin with their similar, named followers.
      
      If you were to be a "follower" of an artist (or even group of artists) you have learned about this semester (in class or otherwise), who would it be and why? What would you be called? Who would you be "enemies" with and why? What behaviors would you adopt in an effort to be more like your role model(s)? 
      
      Caravaggio, Rubens, and Poussin are off limits.
      
      In the explanation of your allegiance to your chosen artist(s) and group of followers, you should clearly illustrate your understanding of the artistic movement, it's time period and related context, the artist's specific style and purpose, etc. To be even more illustrative of your understanding, you must also discuss the group with whom you would rebel against or have issues with. 
      
      Be creative with your writing style, group's name, and reasons for joining the group. Be thorough with your answer. This is a test.
