Missing sessions - make-up policy

[Rob_Hugo@PortNW]

Hi everyone,

As you know, successful completion of the seminar mandates that you have not missed more than one three-hour session. Just to clarify the session make-up policy:

If you miss a session, you will need to it make up by completing a homework assignment. If you miss a Saturday session, you will need to complete two assignments.

To complete a homework assignment, attend an event (lecture/meeting/discussion panel, etc.) that focuses on issues related to East Asia or visit a museum exhibition or performance relating to East Asia. Submit a 150-200 word summary of what you learned, and post it as a new thread on this forum.

If you need to know your present attendance record, please let me know.

Thanks,
Miranda

You may wish to attend the following as a make-up assignment for a missed session.

"Woodblock Prints in China: Traditions and Modernizations"

The East Asian Art Council of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art cordially invites you to a lecture by Xiaobing Tang, Professor and Chair, East Asian Languages and Cultures University of Southern California.

Saturday, December 8, 2007
Lecture begins at 2:00 p.m.
Free

Dorothy Collins Brown Auditorium
Los Angeles County Museum of Art
5905 Wilshire Boulevard
Los Angeles, CA 90036

In this fascinating examination of the modern woodblock print medium in China, Professor Xiaobing Tang, author of "Origins of the Avant-Garde: the Modern Woodcut Movement," will offer a brief history of the development of woodblock prints as an art form in China, focusing on the multiple uses and genres this medium acquired over many centuries. He will then follow the key dimensions of the new woodcut movement and its aftermath in the twentieth century. By putting artistic images back into their historical and cultural contexts, Professor Tang will demonstrate how woodblock prints form a vital part of modern and contemporary Chinese visual culture.

Lecture and reception sponsored by the East Asian Art Council. For information please call LACMA at 323.857.6029.

At the beginning of the session, many of us were able to make up a session by going to the Images of East Asia workshop at USC. Do we need to do a write up of that or does the day-long attendance count as a missed session?

I am happy to report that attendance of the 10/20/07 "Images of East Asia" workshop does qualify for a missed session. Please post a 150-200 word summary of what you learned at the workshop and how you plan to incorporate the material into your classroom curriculum under a new thread, and the entry will both cover the absence and count towards your forum postings.
