Week 26

April 12

Andy Warhol. Campbell’s Soup Can (Tomato). c. 1962.

Reading discussion

Today we’ll begin by discussing Toby Shorin’s essay, Life After Lifestyle:

We’re going to start like we did last time—first discussing your response/reaction with your classmates at your table. We’ll have 10–15 minutes for this, then pick up as the whole group.

We also want to say that this essay might be more… divisive than previous ones. It’s okay to disagree or feel strongly about it, or with each other—but we want our classroom to be a safe, empathetic space.

We’ll probably take our break here, after the reading discussion.

For next week
