My offer still stands on your being exempt from the final if instead you turn in an artwork that you have made. It should not be a copy of any artwork we looked at and it must be new, meaning something made since Tuesday when we talked about this.
People taking the exam must be ready to answer a few brief essay questions about Impressionism, Expressionism, and Surrealism.
Thanks

Neo Rauch writing by Emily Schroeder
Hey students,
I hope you all enjoyed or at least 'appreciated' our trip to the Ackland on Saturday. For Ashton and myself, if was a great way to spend part of an afternoon. A friend of mine, Emily Schroeder, who works in the library and archives at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC sent me a link to a review she wrote on the German painter Neo Rauch's new exhibit at David Zwirner gallery in NYC. I thought that it was a good example of the type of assignment we are doing with the museum trips. You can read her short review here.
See you tomorrow
