Writing Homework Help

University of Maryland Baltimore Week 10 Dada Marcel Duchamp Discussion Board

 

I need an explanation for this Art question to help me study.

Week 10 Discussion Board Post

Watch the video above.

The video involves a young man candidly discussing his ignorance and frustration with modern art. He is totally baffled. Maybe it is a place that you started before taking this class; maybe it’s a position that you still hold.

Choose the artwork from Chapter 3.9 that you have the most trouble relating to visually or conceptually. Write a statement “justifying” this artwork to the best of your ability. Pretend you are taking the guy in the video back to the museum, and he asks you to explain what this work is about. Rather than simply saying, “I don’t get it, either,” come up with what you would say to help this person understand.

Give your answer by creating a new thread in the link for “Week 10 Discussion“. Write at least six sentences. In your post, clearly state the name of the artist and the title of the work so that we know which piece you are talking about. Make sure to post by Tuesday (7/27) at 11:59pm.
