Response to Lecture Week 7

This week’s art lecture was mainly about sequence and narrative. The Professor started the class by introducing several artists whose art features this idea of sequence and narrative. Those artist were Hans Haacke and David Antin. He also gave the definition for narrative. This first part of the lecture was interesting because I got to learn a new way to view narrative. I got to see other artists way of expressing narrative. The Professor talked about Duane Michals who took photographs and wrote directly on them. he would write a simple sentence or more describing the photograph. This was cool because I have never seen anything like this before. I have never witnessed an art piece with sentences written in it. The next part of class, the Professor talked about comics. He showed us comics and how some of them didn’t want their work to be sold in merchandise. I found this to be kind of weird because the merchandise is being sold and the creator should allow his work to be sold so he can atleast make some money of the items sold. The last part of class, a film was shown that was all photographs. This was so amazing because I have never seen a film made of pure photos. It was so cool how it told a story and the photos really showed it. Overall, the lecture made me think more about sequence and narrative and its meaning.
