We will finish class with a discussion of works by a contemporary artist. We will watch a short film and seek to uncover themes, intent, and meaning in the contemporary works of a specific artist.

The artist will remain unnamed. The themes, intents, and meanings will remain for you to discover in class. Until then you are simply to consider this image:

AFTER PARTY

We will, at this time, use the seesaw app to upload images of our artwork and continue building a digital portfolio.
