2)PEER REVIEW (BETSY)
Hi All,
I enjoyed the African American art history, from the poems, artwork and Harlem Renaissances era. It was a memorable time for successful African Americans and a history to be proud of and to carry forth. The boque era style paintings was interesting as well as the music. The assignment exposed me to art that I would not have otherwise explored. I still chuckle at my "nude" definition, but hey it's all about learning. I have a better appreciation of Picasso, not only his work but his life.
I toured the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC for my assignment and again, it was magical. Once you enter the building it's so quite, clean and peaceful. You really do have to spend the whole day exploring the many levels of the museum and the gardens. It will transform you back to a different time era. Well worth the day trip.
Take care everyone and best of luck in your upcoming studies! Stay the course.
Best wishes.
3) PEER REVIEW (WHITNEY)
In thinking about this last discussion of the course, I'd like to begin by expressing my appreciation for the stimulating questions and comments created by Prof. Stansbury and my classmates. Initially, though I understand the difference between a history class and a humanities class, I was reading the work simply as history. Gradually I began to allow the threads to work their way into a fabric ending here and now with thoughts connecting my visit to the Harvey B. Gantt Center all the way back to week one reading about the Baroque and Italy. As I mentioned in my Assignment 3 report on the exhibits at the Center, the one that struck me as the most powerful was "Question Bridge: Black Males." I realized this week that initially I had thought the title a little lacking. This week I feel that it is the title that provides the summation of the course for rme: What is a "question bridge" but a bridge between questions - those universal questions which we saw played out through the ages and across continents - questions of power, influence, human value (and the artistic expression of those things) and ultimately of what it means to be human in the 21st Century, a world in which we are tested by the collapse of time through technology, and the testing of individual cultures through proximity. We are in chaotic, perilous, dynamic times. Our test as a species is on our doorstep.
