Today's Class- Today we finished a few last examples of Ancient Roman sculpture and monuments, and looked at a few examples of 2D Roman art (wall paintings and mosaics). As a side item of interest, I showed a short dvd about the creation process of a contemporary mural in Belmar. The second half of class was devoted to review for the first midterm exam, which will be this coming Friday, March 12th. I also collected the first 6 weeks of journals (current arts articles) from all those who brought them in.
Important terms- mosaic, tesserae, buon fresco, fresco secco
Important artworks- Arch of Constantine
Homework- The next current arts article for your journal is due next Tuesday, 3/16/10. Those who did not have the journals to turn in today should bring it to class on Friday. Study for the midterm on Friday.
For next class 3/12/10- I will be giving the first midterm of the semester, covering all of Book 1 (Ancient Art), chapters 1 to 6. Bring something to write with.
