12. Week 2 Reflection
Prepare for class by reviewing the resources in the
Week 2 folder and considering the following questions:
•What kinds of identity are explored by the artist (eg.
feminist, queer, national, cultural, artistic tropes)
•How do the materials and processes employed by the
artist shape the content of the work?
•How does the artist position themselves through
identification and/or differentiation?
Make notes in your blog and bring your observations
and questions to class.
