Thursday April 1

I should have your photo analysis at this time; if not, the end of class today is your last opportunity.

Moving on: your own journalism projects are due Monday. I am very much looking foward to them.

Today I would like you to look at some early Chinese travel narratives. Please follow the directions below.

This is for the visualizing cultures project run out of MIT

Once in, click on explore content now.
Go into John Thompson's China
Drop down to the visual narratives
Explore town, country etc.

There is as well a second album of his images.

Enjoy and note the compositions of these images. How are they like those in the West? Actually, it was the East who influenced the West, which embraced this aesthetic beginning with Impressionism.
