We only have one more assignment to complete for the semester. Obviously, we can't do a proper "exhibition review" because exhibitions are not happening. Online exhibitions are better than nothing, but then we're seeing images of images, not the work itself. Everything is reduced to the scale of a computer screen, everything is flattened, color is off, etc.
Our final assignment is an essay with a research component. I don't want to call it a "research essay" because that term sends chills down the spines of college students everywhere.
Rather than give a specific topic for this paper, I'm going to be open-minded. You might choose to go for a "deeper dive" on the artist you chose for your catalogue entry assignment; you might choose to write an essay about art in the age of pandemic; you might choose to write about a particular art movement that intrigues you.
The paper will follow MLA format (see Purdue OWL) and be between 5-7 double-spaced pages, with a separate Works Cited page. We will be talking more about this assignment from here on out, but it's your job now to start brainstorming about what you want to learn more about. Details to follow.
Send me an email message with your ideas... Casey
