Here's the description for Program 2 and 3.

Program 2 Dreams and Visions

http://www.learner.org/courses/globalart/theme/2/index.html

Through art, we can perceive more than what we see with our eyes. From Aboriginal artists painting unseen forces to Surrealists exploring the recesses of the unconscious mind, individuals have found ways to give form to unknowable mysteries, personal fantasies, and inner visions. Artist Sandy Skoglund talks about the life of the imagination.

Program 3 History and Memory

http://www.learner.org/courses/globalart/theme/3/index.html
People have documented history, and also have shaped it through art. Art commemorates achievements and failures, recording and creating communal and personal memories. At times painters and sculptors have appropriated artistic forms of the past to make statements in the present. Multimedia artist Shimon Attie shares work that concerns questions of memory, place, and identity.

Describe what each program is about. Then, describe your reaction or opinion of what you saw in each the programs. Give at least 4 major topics from each program. Name 2 or 3 items in each show that you thought were interesting.

	This painting by Dante Gabriel Rossetti is called the Bower Meadow. Both this painting by Rossetti and the Raphael are examples of realistic paintings that are considered "idealism". The artist paints realistically but, emphasizes certain aspects for the sake of beauty. This painting is also good as an example of our concept "texture" so be sure to let me know about how textures are depicted - Are they realistic? Are the marks for design's sake? discuss how this artist uses this elements to create the desired effect in the final work. Be sure to discuss how LINE, SHAPE, LIGHT, SPACE, MASS, VOLUME, TEXTURE and COLOR are used in the paintings. If any other concepts from the lectures are noticeable, please include them. Some of the Visual Elements that we are studying do not apply to paintings as much as they apply to sculpture. Mass is not something that applies to paintings to the same extent as it does for sculptures. Since this is a painting AND we are seeing it on the internet, it is hard to get a sense of size of this painting. So, "Mass" is not going to be an area that is covered to much of an extent. It will be important in later works. Sometimes, an artist concentrates on some elements. Sometimes, they don't use one of the elements in order to concentrate on others. If you feel this is the case, explain why. There are a couple of interesting features in the design layout and composition of this painting. Can you spot them? There are also a few elements repeated in different places. - Line, Shape and Light. How does Rossetti use these elements? Do a quick search using google on the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. Did Rossetti have any involvement with this group and if he did what was the relationship? Find one short interesting fact about Rossetti or the Pre-Raphaelites. (Don't forget to provide a web link to your source.) Post either a link or the image of another painting by Rossetti. Tell us whether you think that the artist was successful in what they attempted and whether you like it. Our first painting is: Dante Gabriel Rossetti. The Bower Meadow. 1872. Oil on canvas. City Art Galleries, Manchester, UK. Here's a link to the painting. http://www.abcgallery.com/R/rossetti/rossetti40.html
