Refect, Reveal, Respond Forums Instructions
All students will participate in the Refect, Reveal and Respond cluster of exercises, each of which is one (1)week’s duration. Dates are found in the syllabus and on the course homeepage. They can also be found at the end of Lessons 2, 7 and 11 on the last page of the course lesson, identifed as: “Refect, Reveal and Respond.” (They can also be found by clicking on “Refect, Reveal and Respond” in multiple places on the course homepage).
REFLECT:
The ‘Refect’ questions on the RRR lesson pages are put there to help you think about what you have learned. They will help put the lessons into focus. However, they are NOT to be answered or submitted.
REVEAL:
Click on the hyperlink in this section to reveal an image by a contemporary Canadian artist. Examine it, carefully and thoroughly.
RESPOND:
You will write a response to the ‘Respond’ section question(s) to a minimum of 500 words. Your submission must identify the lesson number and subsection of the online lessons where you sourced the ideas for your answer.
However you are not simply to ‘lift’ the section from the text or lesson but need to put the ideas you are using/have read about into context, relative to the image I supply in the “Reveal’ section. That is, apply the ideas/what you say to specifc aspects of the image.
A single sentence or less than full answer such as a simple “I agree” is not acceptable. Postings need to be thoughtful, while demonstrating that you’ve read and considered the pertinent course material and footnoted it.
Your answers should not be focused exclusively on your own thoughts or opinions. As outside research is mandatory your response should be a hybrid of sorts wherein you use ideas informed and confrmed by the pertinent ideas found in the lessons and in your research. Use these to help you answer the questions. When citing extermal research, include the web address in the footnotes or the publication data of the book or article.
You need to use your own words to express those ideas you think are pertinent to the image but can quote short phrases whether from the lessons or external research. And quotes MUST be in quotation marks and footnoted at the end of your answer to each question. If you
paraphrase, identify where you got that idea (author, book or article, page number) in the footnotes. Slang, street language, clichés or emojis are unacceptable.
>>> EACH RRR will be open and available as outlined under “Evaluation, Grading and Due Dates” above. After that, the assignment will be automatically locked by the UR computer system and you will have no further access to it. You cannot add on or continue this post after you have submitted it.
>>> If your computer or UR page times out, you will lose your answers. It is advisable that you write your answers in a word doc and cut and paste them into the assignment box.
Question :
Reflect on the questions below as they will help you think critically about what you’ve learned so far in this lesson.  You do not submit answers to these questions.
Are all artists attempting to do the same thing when they make art? If so what is that? If not, how do they differ?
While it is possible to aesthetically appreciate a visual object from another culture, why is it difficult to truly delve into its content or meaning?
How does style contribute to communicating ideas?
Which of the different types of critical frameworks seems most valid to you and why?
What are the problems involved in trying to communicate visually?

Respond 
Read Lessons 1 and 2 and do some external research before submitting an answer to the following questions, in paragraph form. Use quotes from your research as necessary. (Required) Cite those. Your answer should be 500 words minimum. Use art vocabulary when possible.
Clearly Marcel Dzama is trying to communicate something to the viewer. But what? His work relies on various strange symbols and iconographies that suggest a hidden narrative and hidden content. It is in that way related to the Dada and Surrealist movements of the early Twentieth Century. How so? What do you make of his use of symbols? What is he trying to achieve?
