We will read and discuss the content below in class over the next two weeks, 3/4 & 3/18. Spring break is March 11th, so there will be no class. Remember Tiger Strikes Asteroid member Jaime Alvarez will be coming to speak to us on 3/18 @ 4pm.
Hope you are surviving the snow... again.

LIES and TRUTH
Want some power?
One of my favorite artists and my dear friend, Michael Macfeat produced a series of "Trading Cards." This particular image is from a set about Lies and The Truth. More info can be found here.
Hello All,
Please click the comments link below and post Ten Lies and Three Truths about the art work you have been creating and your modus operendi. The objective here is to carefully craft these lies. For instance, if you say, "I never use red." it is a thin, boring and poorly constructed lie. Your concocted falsehoods would be weak and transparent if we were presented with images of blue and green paintings. The objective of "lying" is to have someone believe your story! When posting your assignment, do not indicate which are T/F. The challenge will be for your audience to figure it out. Sample fabrications can be found in the comments section below. Please format your response in the same manner. (no nick-names please)
ALL students should post the Lies and Truths assignment by Midnight on Monday, 1/27. The following students will be prepared to present current images of work and 13 copies of your Lies and Truths on Tuesday, 9/6/13. Upload image folders to the desktop of class computer as soon as you get there. Be on Time! Print papers BEFORE class, not during. All students will write comments and suggestions on the "L/TR" papers and return to presenting students at the end of class. (This will be our only paper transaction. All other responses will be digital.) Presentations will be followed by a discussion about Writing Artist Statements.
