1. How else can we relate linguistics to art?
2. What can art communicate as its own language that spoken language cannot accomplish?
3. Do literate people interpret text-free images differently than illiterate people?
4. Can these themes apply to non-advertising images?
5. Is it possible to create a photograph free of these associations?

Handed Out: 2/17/11
Contact Sheets Due: 2/24/11
Blog Post Due: 3/3/11
Critique: 3/15/11
Assignment 3
Deconstruct-Reconstruct
In chapter 18 of The Photography Reader, we touched upon the subject of appropriation with photographers such as Richard Prince, Louis Lawler, and Sherrie Levine, as one genre of postmodern photography. Chapter 17 delves further into the topic of postmodern photography specifically highlighting the work of Barbara Kruger, Richard Prince, Vikky Alexander, Silvia Kolbowski, and Sherrie Levine. For your third assignment, you are to reconstruct 3 photographs or photographic images (art or news related) and alter them in some way. This could be through changing the scale of objects, altering the figure/ground relationship, moving objects around or switching subjects, or even combining two different images of one event into one photograph. How you go about altering the image is your choice. For the critique you will choose the best of the three prints. Some things to keep in mind: What does it mean to take a photograph? Or to make a photograph? Is an image less important/meaningful if it is based directly from a well known work of art? Do both artists deserve to be credited for the final product?

Why do most female artists get labeled as feminists in some way at some point in their careers?
How does Sherrie Levin question ideas of originality and authorship?
How does the number of times a photograph is reproduced affect its value?
How does the knowledge that an image is appropriated affect its meaning?
What are the parallels between the struggle to call photography “fine art” today and during the late 1800’s?
chap 17
1. Can Levine be given 100% credit of the reproduction of Weston's original work? 2. Is there a certain degree to how much appropriation is actually appropriation and not just plagiarism? Or is it just subjective? 3. How different wold the impact be if a student appropriated the image like Levine? I just think its interesting that since Levine "appropriated the image" its creates a debate, however I feel like if a student did it, people would just say its plagiarism. Even know students and professors have a certain standard in a university, I still just think its interesting that we learn about artists who does work that we would get in trouble for. 4. Does Levine's work really not have authorship? The book states that "To refuse authorship itself functions to puncture the ideology of the artists as the bearer of a privileged subjectivity." I disagree because I feel like she is still have authorship because it is still her photograph that she subjectively chose to photograph. 5. is it considered plagarism is a photographer, painter, drawer all created the same exact composition and image?
