thesis

n this week's module you will be submitting your term paper proposal.  You will be deciding which American Modern or Postmodern artist(s) (20th century) you would like to analyze in your term paper. Use this forum to discuss and share your choice with your classmates, and receive feedback to help structure your Term Paper Outline due next week.

To form a thesis, ask yourself a question about the subject. (i.e. How did Warhol use popular imagery to critique mass consumerism in America?  How did Jungian psychology influence the paintings of Jackson Pollock? What is the significance of Georgia O’Keeffe’s transition to skull and bone paintings?) Be creative and have fun with this. Consult the text for major artists studied in this course and do not be afraid to choose an artist that we've not yet covered.

In this discussion board, tell us:

1. Which artist you're considering.
2. Which of their works you're considering for review (name at least 2)
3. What is the general thesis of your paper?  (remember this should be an 'exploratory idea')
