Prepare two different pitches for your Fan Page project. Create a short presentation (Google slides, Figma, or PDF) that introduces each subject. Please include a visual representation, your interest in the subject, potential aspects you could focus on, and why this is worthy of a fan page in 2021. Be sure to think about how your subject is a story rather than a topic – one way of doing this is thinking about the subject as being active (for example, ikebana is a topic; but ikebana artists creating work during the pandemic becomes more of a story).
If we had time to begin the Geometric Abstraction activity in class, complete it for Wednesday.

Reading In Defense of the Poor Image – Hito Steyerl, Ashley will be the discussion leader, everyone else will respond on the document.
