From Realism through the postmodern era

A. Questions for weekly discussions and conversations (not part of the required Discussion Board assignment)

These questions can serve as the starting point for your discussions during the week. They are “thought starters,” so that you can explore some ideas associated with the discussion board and unit topics. Answers are not required, and should not be submitted with your required assignment. Answers are not graded.

1. How would you imagine cultures and artistic creations changing during World War II?

2. How has art changed with the use of computers and the internet?

B. Required Discussion Board assignment.
•Discuss a minimum of two reasons why Jackson Pollock’s style of painting, as exemplified by Convergence, is considered an important, innovative development in the history of painting. To see this painting, locate it in the unit’s Resource List.
•Imagine that you are a defense attorney for this work of art. Support your argument with research.
•Establish a very strong “argument” by considering the artist’s unique technique, what influenced him to create work like Convergence, and how this work fits into its specific era and specific art movement.
When researching the Internet for addition resources, use reliable/credible sites. Retail sites and Wikipedia are not considered reliable resources. All writing must be in your own words. Do not cut and paste information from the Web site.
