Chapter Two Video Assignment


Cai Guo-Qiang, Inopportune: Stage One
 View the Art 21 video titled Power.  This video explores a variety of ways artists address the concept of power through their work.  Consider how power is demonstrated in different ways.  Some artists use power in a very literal form, others create work that conveys a more abstract representation of power. 

Come to class next Tuesday ready to discuss these artists and ideas addressed in Chapter Two.

  1. As you prepare to discuss the video and Chapter Two consider the following:

    1. Do you see any of these artists using their work to describe the world? Are they using their work to describe their feelings about the world?

    2. Do you see examples of art that is representational, absstract or nonrepresentational? Can you describe the differences between these three terms?

    3. Do any of the artworks in the video seem representative of one's culture?

    4. Do you see any examples of iconography in the works from the video? Can you describe iconography?
