Art Paragraphs

Instead of a list of review questions, I’d like you to write an open reflection on valuable points in each essay. Read them closely. I’m not assigning videos or lectures this week to allow for this focus. Aim for one long paragraph for each essay.
Again, this is an open reflection, so I want you to draw out the things that influenced your thinking or shifted your perspective. Below is a list of questions you can use to help guide you –you don’t need to answer them – they are designed to offer a framework for the kinds of things you can discuss in each essay.

Some things to think about as you read:
-What is the lens that the author is looking through? What is the academic field? How is the field reflected in the writing style?
-What methodologies are used for gathering information?
-What historical or conceptual framework does the author use to provide context for their study of a contemporary art scene?
-What are the standout points in the author’s argument about the art scene?
-Look at the author’s bibliography at the end of their essay. Are there sources that are interesting? Are there sources relevant to your own research?
-What do you find useful in reading these essays?
-What are the spatial barriers that Morgner is discussing?
-How is the term “makeshift” useful for Sooudi?
-How is the art scene adapted to the specific context of the city?
-What becomes visible through these studies?

How does it exemplify the Arts and Crafts movement? How is it made? What are the functions of the object? Do you think Arts and Crafts objects will make a comeback in our society?
