Final Exam Study Guide

To prepare for the final exam look over your notes from class, from visiting artist lectures and refresh your memory regarding the readings. Make sure you know the main points about each artist and each key concept or topic we've discussed in class. Look at the class blog and syllabus to help guide you when you prepare for the exam. 

The exam will contain slide I.D.s (same format as the midterm), definitions, fill in the blanks, and short answer questions that you will answer in a paragraph (similar to the midterm). The exam will cover what we've gone over in class from the midterm on up until the final day of class.  

Below are some sample questions, these or questions similar, may appear on the final. 

1. What does Liz Wells mean when she says:
“subjectivity develops and changes as a consequence of myriad encounters within the world of experience, including response to ways in which ideas, people and places are represented to us. We are thus subjectified within ideological processes which operate complexly at both conscious and unconscious levels of psychic patterning.”

2. What type of work is Susan Bright referring to and what does she mean when she says that:
 The paradox is that the complex inner workings of the human psyche can never really be understood by just looking at a picture.

3. Which two artists that you’ve learned about in class use time stamps and why do they use them? 
  
4. In what venue and form did Nan Goldin begin showing her work and why is her work significant?

5. What media does Mickalene Thomas work in? What are the main aims of Mickalene Thomas’ work and why is it significant?

6. Why is photographing oneself significant and how does it relate to issues of identity politics?
