Read the articles “What Nancy Rubins does with 20,000 Pounds of Metal” and “El Anatsui, Old Mans Cloth” and watch the two videos on El Anatsui’s practice all posted in Week 2 module,
In a paragraph (5 sentences or so is all you need), briefly summarize the readings and videos and then respond to the following analysis questions in paragraph form:
- How do both artists use the source of their metal materials to convey new meaning in their work?
- How were these sculptures made? Do the processes used change your interpretation of the meaning of the work, or are they not that important?
Your response should be about one full page double spaced. Your grade will be drawn from the summary, overall analysis response, grammar, clarity, and conciseness. Upload your Word or PDF file to Canvas. Please bring a print out of your response to class or have it open on your laptop to reference during our class discussion.
