hi mac :]

What's up?

This is Cody Bennett, just now joining in. I will write a essay on the history and events that support the ideas of expression and how we as Americans utilize that to our benefit. As a tip, or more so, a guideline towards our project I believe we should each pick a portion of a large project, and complete that task, after that colaborate on what to do next. This wiki is a great tool we should use to our benefit and we should check this everyday as to know exactly what updates we have for each other I.E. progress or new ideas. I talked to Mrs. Lehrman and she said that we need to have concrete events, I have found three and they are as follows: Harlem Rennisance, 1960's era Woodstock. Sadly I have only found those two and I would greatly appreciate if anyone can find another one, or revise the topics all together :)

Opposed to American meaning Expression, perhaps America means Art? Which would therefore change what the topic would be to a more concrete and easier to pinpoint topic, thus alleviating the issue of not being able to find any information.

AGREE D

Now, we should pick two American Art pieces, one from early times, andone modern, and with a tri-fold do a general comparison of the two, and then decide on a more aesthetic way to get the point across. A great idea has befell me, we should all go to the museum this weekend!!

Found a great Art Site

Alright so check this out i will let you guys mess around with the colage or however you spell that but here is a couple sites that explain the history of the painting and what it represents. [] [] [] and on the obama painting talk about how some consider it a big step seeing it as that he is the first black president. here these are just some of my brain storming thought. first presidents of there kind both have paintings that have become quite famous and have done things of which will make history. i think you guys will know what i am feeling on this so ya i am sorry i can't be more help! type "shepard fairey posters" into bing to get some good pictures. also here are some url's explaining the paintings... [] (i know not reliable) [] [] [] good luck guys again i am sorry i can't be of more help!
