Make-Up Week

In our off week, you will get together in groups of five outside the classroom to watch two films.  We will then address certain issues related to both those films and the readings for "Cinematic Public Art - Interventions."

The films are Spike Lee's Do the Right Thing (available to rent from Amazon video for 2.99) and segments of an Art: 21 episode on Wodiczko (available via Netflix instant, episode 3, season 3).  It's important that you watch together so that you can have a discussion right afterwards.  You can either make arrangements to meet up at each other's homes or reserve a smart room at school.

Following your screening, come up with a collaborative response to your group's question.  You can write a 3-paragraph description of your response or, if appropriate, submit a drawing or rendering of your proposed solution in addition to some explanatory text.  Work on this together and post with all your names signed.  If you discuss together right after the films, you should be able to come up with your response inside of an hour.  The group is embedded below.

You need to watch the films and post in Google Groups by Tuesday, November 20.  The rest if us will then respond to the posts of other groups and collaborate in an online discussion in the time between then and Monday, November 26th.  This online discussion will take the place of the usual discussion board postings for class, and it is important that we remain in dialog with each other more than posting individual responses.
