Hi everyone--here are some of the themes you class came up with on the first day of class. Although you're not in groups yet, it would be a good exercise to start thinking about art exhibitions that show how these ideas have been expressed visually. Look through your textbook and find at least one work of art that you think deals with these themes. Post your answers by Friday (Feb. 4) and we'll discuss them in class then.
