Monday we are meeting at 23rd@10th in Chelsea. 2:30 Sharp.

Before we visit 1 or 2 galleries in the area, we want to gain some reference for looking and talking about visual art, especially abstraction. To prepare–so do this over the weekend, we will try out a multimedia “web textbook,” smarthistory. Instead of print text, this site offers conversational visual texts by different experts. Go to the site with this link  why look at art. and watch that segment. Then on the same page menu bar, go to “Skills of Describing,” and after that “1960-Present: An Overview.”  Finally, go to under artists or click here Jackson Pollock He is a very important figure to a movement called abstract expressionism and techniques (action panting). Get to know him!

I am curious what you think about smarthistory after using it. You are first group of users.
