Do not forget to leave a feedback about the movie, Nobody's here but me" about the artist, Cindy Sherman. Some of you left really profound comments on the movie, beyond literal. It's always inspiring to read new, fresh thoughts and perspectives on artists I already know. Let the creative juice generated in your brain and use the imagination to cultivate it!
Also go to see the exhibition at Rueff Gallery, Touching Strangers, by Richard Renaldi. The feedback is due by 25th.

For the first exam tomorrow, I expect your answer to be articulate, comprehensive, and informative as possible. I also expect each answer to have at least 250-300word counts. You could either write your answer in word doc or handwriting in papers. If you choose to handwrite, then you must provide your own papers and 'please please' try hard to make it legible.

Good luck!

See you.
