3B: Expressionist Forms (The Expansion of Expressionism)
- Long, “German Criticism through World War I,” 77 – 94.
- Long, “Painting,” 95 – 107.
- Long (with Stephanie Barron), “Sculpture,” 108 – 121.
- Long (with Ida Katherine Rigby), “Printmaking,” 140 – 153.
- In groups of four examine the art object you have been given.
- Look at the text from Long that is listed under your artwork. Find a quotation or two that you can use to describe this artwork, its context, or the artist.
- If you have time, find a quotation from the section on Der Sturm.
- Prepare a mini-presentation on the artwork for the class in which you explain how your Expressionist artist translated a philosophy into the artwork's form, content, and/or style.
- You should give a group presentation. That means everyone speaks.
- Your presentation will be about 3-5 minutes. Be sure to introduce significant details about the artwork (title, artist, year, movement / affiliation, etc.).
- You will submit your presentation in written form to me. Bullet points are fine. Please make sure I can read it.
