Prompt: What is an "allegory" in art? Do you think it is reasonable and fair to use an art work from a distant time and place to comment on contemporary social, political or cultural situations?

Anthony D. Romero: This is what democracy looks like

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
In a quest to make sense of the political environment in the United States in 2017, lawyer and ACLU executive director Anthony D. Romero turned to a surprising place -- a 14th-century fresco by Italian Renaissance master Ambrogio Lorenzetti. What could a 700-year-old painting possibly teach us about life today?

“All the Vermeers,” is a work of ekphrasis. Ekphrasis is more personal than academic writing usually is—although there are works of scholarship with magnificent ekphrastic passages in them. The full poem is attached here.

Assignment: Watch at least three of the following videos (each is about three minutes long). Post a response on your wall based on the following prompt: “Identify the three videos you watched. Since the artist is learning from the work of art, it is a matter of an artist (you) learning from an artist (the speaker) learning from an artist (the creator of the work of art).  What do you think when you listen to a successful visual artist talk about an artist or a work of art?
The list of videos is attached here.

Collect images for your exhibition on your wall. Each image you post should be identified by:

artist's name, birth and death dates

artist's nationality

title and date

medium(s)

collection/owner (if known)

You will need a minimum of five (5) images for your exhibition. You may wish to assemble more than that before you make your final selection.

Suppose my exhibition is titled "Our Better Angels: Images of Saint Matthew." I might include the attached work of art and put these facts on the label.
Nicolas Poussin (1594-1665)
French
Landscape with St. Matthew and Angel, 1645
oil on canvas
Gemaldegalerie, Berlin, Germany

Here is an example of a fictional show and a fictional work included in that show. While you should look at real examples from real museums, these models might be helpful.

This is a running list I keep of books I have read (and a few films) that have both informed me about art and entertained me. Some of the books are fiction/novels. Most fall into the category called "creative nonfiction" and tend to be quirky, more personal, more fun.

Setting up your wall is easy. Just follow the instructions. I do have a few suggestions though:
1. Choose "Canvas" format. This wall is a Canvas format. You can resize and rearrange posts as needed  and as your portfolio evolves.
2. Tap on the cogwheel, to "modify" your wall. Look at the tool bar/menu on the right. Give your wall a "title." I titled this wall "Art History Workshop 2017."
3. Next item is "description." Say whatever you like.
4. Personalize your wall: choose a wallpaper; select an icon for yourself or upload an image you like better. Here I used the foot of a sculpture I photographed. Just for fun. You should enjoy looking at your wall and working on it.
5. I turned "Attribution" off because no one will be posting on this wall. If you toggle it on, then when I post on your wall, my name will be on each post.
6. But DO turn "Comments" ON. That will allow me to comment on your posts directly.
7. You can choose your own address or use the alphanumeric they randomly assign. I chose the address "AHworkshop2017."
Now hit "SAVE" so all those design elements stay in place.
8. Now go back to the menu at upper right and choose "SHARE."

9. Under "Privacy" I suggest you choose Private, Secret or Public. Password Protected just gets too complicated.
10. Under "Those with access" select "can write." This is very important because I have to be able to post.
11. Invite me to post on your wall under "Add contributors." Use the email ebcutler@verizon.net. That is my Padlet membership email.

12. When in doubt click "SAVE." Padlet will remind you if you are about to lose work, but better be safe than sorry.

Go Have Some Fun With Your Wall!
