Hope you guys have a great spring break! Your homework assignment for the Monday after spring break (3/22) is to click on this link (http://www.flickr.com/photos/americanartmuseum/sets/72157614238464621/) which will take you to a Flickr photo stream dealing with the 1930s. There are 108 photos/paintings/drawings in this series from the American Art Museum.
Look at all the pictures. Now write a short paragraph to answer these questions. What themes or ideas seem to be the same? If this was all you knew about the 1930s, how would you describe what was going on? What attitudes seem to be addressed in the photos? What details do you notice?
Now pick 5 (at least one should be a painting and one should be a photo) pictures that you liked or that you thought did a good job of portraying the times. Write a 2-3 sentence summary for each picture to tell what you liked about it and why you chose it.
See you on the 22nd! Bring your TKAM (To Kill A Mockingbird - get used to this abbreviation!) books to class (those of you who ordered one, bring your $6.50)
