After reviewing slides 40-43, please answer the following questions on the discussion board. Start with viewing the slides and answering all the questions below each slide. After you have written, the answers to the questions review your answers and then retype and post them on the discussion board. You will be required to read all the forum notes posted by your fellow students. Then select ONE answer to the questions posted by a classmate, you find particularly interesting and comment on its content. Please remember to be respectful of your classmates. I will take off points for any responses or postings that I think are inappropriate and not relevant to the discussion. We are all adults and need to be mindful of our posts. Personal opinions need to be supported by the slide content in the form of an example.
Answer the following questions:
Slide 41-Note here the contemporary supermarket shopper sculpture by Duane Hanson and the prehistoric sculpture of the Venus of Willendorf. Do you see any similarities? Do you see any differences? Survival is still a vital concern for humans, even if we demonstrate the need for food and reproduction through methods other than hunting and gathering. Or do we? This is an actual sculpture of a supermarket shopper in a museum. It is made of plastic and steel. The sculpture is by Duane Hanson. Ask yourself, does it represent the culture we live in today?
Slide 42-Perhaps these images of contemporary female figures are more representative. Are they? Who do they represent?
Slide 43-Is this image of a contemporary mom more representative of women in the twenty-first century, then the Supermarket Shopper? A mother could be a working woman and/or a stay at home mom or both.
