WK 6 Compare/contrast Arman’s Long-Term Parking, 1982 with the image of cars in an elevated parking ramp (circa 2020) pictured upper right in light of Arman’s comments on the waste inherent in contemporary consumerism.

In your response, consider these questions:

  • What thoughts come to your mind concerning our role as consumers in a consumer world?
  • What message do you think Arman hoped to convey in Long-Term Parking, 1982?
  • In your opinion, how does the idea of consumers parking their cars in an elevated parking ramp capture Oscar Wilde’s famous quote: “Life imitates art?”
  • WK 7
    • cover the artists, Thiebaud, Kienholz, Jess, and Ruscha.
  • View the four artists’ artwork contained on these pages.
  • Select one piece of artwork from one of these artists that speaks to you.

Please respond to the following in a post of 150 to 200 words:

  • Post a screen shot of the artwork you selected.
  • Describe what you think the artist’s intent was in creating the work.
  • Offer your best artistic reaction, using the seven elements of art, to what speaks to you about this piece of art.

Note: To help get you started, you might want to view one person’s response to Edward Kienholz’s The State Hospital. Please do not feel constrained by this example. This is just one person’s artistic reaction to a piece of art. Also, it goes without saying: don’t use this person’s language in your response. That’s called plagiarism.
