Please do the following before 11:59pm, Friday, August 11.
1. Go through the material in the European and American Avant-Garde Art and the Art Between the Wars wings.

Slack channel #week6part1
- The term “avant-garde” means art that is innovative – introducing or exploring new forms or subject matter. Choose a work from this week’s museum wing, and discuss in detail how the work exemplifies the idea of the “avant-garde.”
Slack channel #week6part2
- This week we are looking at the first truly abstract art. Prior to this we have looked at pieces that were abstracted but still recognizable. Discuss this general shift toward increasing abstraction and the reasons for it. Use specific examples.
3. Turn in your Final Project reflection paper via Canvas and post your finished art piece on Slack at #finalproject. Instructions for this assignment can be found here.
