Dear all,
We will not be attending the dance concert — there are not enough tickets left.
I will send a revised syllabus for the remaining six weeks later this week. However, I want to alert you now that I am cancelling the All the King’s Men assignment. You’ll have enough to do in the remaining weeks.
I will also send out so more info about the 20-minute video about public sculpture in a couple days.
Best,
Dr. Kahan
Four things:
1. Please write a 400-500-page entry for each of the two categories, 19 October: Bob Dylan’s Songs, and 19 October: Don Giovanni.
2. Here is a list of the Bob Dylan songs that we heard yesterday in class:
It’s hard to narrow down a list of my favorite Bob Dylan songs (in addition to what we listened to yesterday) to a reasonable number, but here are 10 favorites, all on YouTube:
And, if you want to listen some more, here’s a list of runner-up songs, all of which are as terrific as the top 10:
3. Please watch the movie A Bronx Tale. You’ll be discussing this movie with Joe on class on 2 November in advance of our seeing the musical version on Broadway on 16 November.
4. Please get together with the other members of your group and start working on a 20-minute video about public sculpture. The groups are:

Upload one (and only one!) photo that you took at the High Line by clicking ‘Add Media’. Make sure the photo is oriented right (i.e. right side up), and check the ‘High Line Photos’ category when making your photo post. This is a separate post from the weekly blog post.
Be prepared to talk, if asked, about why you chose that image and how you organized the space in the frame — that is, be prepared to “use your words” from the first class (rule of thirds, chiaroscuro, etc.).
