Shock of the New Question

Picasso said: “I paint forms as I think them, not as I see them,” but then it says that he denied ever painting an abstract painting in his life.  If so, how did Picasso define his art?  Clearly, it isn’t realism, and seems to me to be abstract.  Maybe it’s the emotion of the art that he considers realistic, and therefore he attributes the same to the entire piece?

Dance Critiques

Dear Students,
I just posted the article on “Dance Critiques” on the Readings page. Pages 92-99 give you a check list for the essay, rubrics for a dance critique as well as a sample dance review. Unfortunately, some of the pages did not come out that well in the pdf. I will give you a photocopied hand-out of this material tomorrow in class.
See you tonight at the City Center. I will post directions in a separate e-mail.
Best wishes,
Clare Carroll
