1. Who were the two most prominent players in Cubism?

2. What were the chief artistic aims of Cubist painting? (i.e., What were these artists trying to do?)

3. Who invented papier colle' and when?

4. Define trompe l'oeil.

Frank Stella - 1972

Hey Portfolio Development students... There are a handful of clips from the film we watched today "Painters Painting" on youtube. It's also available from Netflix as a DVD...

Art Club NYC Trip

Hi everyone,

I'm sure you've seen the fliers, but if not... The spring Art Club trip to NYC is this Friday, March 4th. The Art Club is going to the Armory Show, one of the largest and most important art fairs held annually. Hundreds of galleries from around the world bring selections of work from featured artists to the Armory Show. It is a good idea for any of you who are aspiring to be artists to get a sense of what the art world looks like and this is a great oppoprtunity to build part of that picture.

Round trip transportation will be included. Sign up outside the Art Department Secretary's office (Southampton Rm 116) and meet at the Ronkonkoma train station at 8:45 AM.
