Week 16 - EOCs & a Groovy Introduction to Postmodernism

Monday - Wednesday: Let's do what that meme tell us to do.

Thursday & Friday: Let's reject it completely and explore Postmodern film and poetry. Those Postmodernists don't appreciate formality and standardization, so we'll take a look at what that really means through film: Across the Universe

We'll soon see why, beginning in the 1960s with the Vietnam War and a cultural movement that embraced deconstruction of norms in art and language and even in reality. Let's keep on truckin' to the end of this course down the path of the hippies through the day America and the world thought would never happen, and see how lifestyle and tragedy are reflected in postmodern art.

Our final project will be a digital exploration of a postmodern poet. Click the link below to see a model I created for you and to access directions. We will work in the lab May 19th, 20th, and 23rd. If everyone has submitted their projects by that time, we will have a Coffee House Poetry Day for your final day as juniors. Let's make it happen!
