Round 1<\/strong>\u00a0The Thing<\/em><\/p>\n

a)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Which is activated first, the jug as a thing or the jug as an object?
\nb)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 What if we put a flower in the jug, does it then become a vase?
\nc)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Is function necessary for a thing to be a “thing”, can you think of anything that doesn’t have a use?
\nd)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Where do you think \u201cnothing\u201d would fit in all this?
\ne)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Define how the jug is:\u00a0 a) jug\u2028b) thing\u2028c) Object d) Representation e) Process and then articulate how these all inform one another<\/p>\n

Round 2<\/strong>\u00a0Ahead of Yes or No<\/em><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Of all the decisions an artist must make, what do you think is the most important one?<\/li>\n
  • Do you agree with how the author locates \u201ctruth\u201d in art?<\/li>\n
  • What is the difference between what, how and why questions?<\/li>\n
  • Is art\u2019s consequence \u201cunknowability\u201d?\u00a0 What does that mean?<\/li>\n
  • What does it mean when Peters\u2019 says \u201cwhile the thinker can think outside of the aesthetic, the artist remains within it\u201d?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Round 3<\/strong> Group Discussion Question:
    \nDo you think that now that you know about the \u201cnot knowing\u201d it ruins it?<\/p>\n

    Personal Reflection In-Class Activity
    \n<\/strong>Alongside Piet Mondrian\u2019s well-known geometric abstractions, he sustained another body of work, which critic David Shapiro refers to as his \u201csecret.\u201d\u00a0 For his friends he displayed evanescent single-flower studies on secret wall in New York City.\u00a0 These studies are a counterpoint in his artistic sensibility, revealing a devotion to the essential from another perspective.\u00a0 They are quietly sensual and suggestion of the body and the \u201callegorized feminine\u201d (David Shapiro\u2019s \u201cMondrian\u2019s Secret\u201d from Uncontrollable Beauty:\u00a0 Toward a New Aesthetic, p. 307-23)<\/p>\n

    a.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Do you have a \u201csecret\u201d body of work that you are reluctant to bring to public scrutiny?
    \nb.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Does this work represent another pole of your artistic sensibility? Why is it secret?\u00a0 Free write for 5 minutes<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

1.\u00a0 Each member of the group should reply in a post, describing your interpretation of and differences between:\u00a0 The sex which is not one, Informe & Abject<\/p>\n
