Welcome, art critics:
We have discussed the difference between concrete and abstract language in class, and we have seen how abstract words and concepts can lead to miscommunication. What if you had to explain a piece of abstract art, though? Impossible, you say? Well, in this assignment, we will attempt just that.
Here is the painting you will use for your assignment this week. It is a Jackson Pollack and should provide inspiration for a plethora of interpretations.
You are to plan and present a two-minute discussion of the piece. Since the purpose of the project is to illuminate that no two people perceive or communicate information in the same way, you will all be presenting the same piece. Your interpretation is to be two pages, typed (in MLA format), and you will turn it in following your presentation.
