Today we're going to learn about a website that is crucial for young artists and designers to follow: Hyperallergic. This art blog features serious art journalism that's written for general readers, not specialists. It's perfect for where you are currently in your art education. It was founded in Brooklyn in 2009 and has continued to grow. They are notable for paying their writers. That's not the case everywhere.
You should bookmark this site, or better yet, sign up for its email newsletter. Is it required? No. Should you do it anyway? Yes.
Today we're going to look into a new article that describes the Risograph process. It's fair to say that none of you have heard of this technology before this very moment. Read "The Democratic Power of the Risograph" by Nancy Zastudil. It was published yesterday, November 13, 2023. Fresh!
For your AWL paragraph today, write one paragraph (or two if you need more room for your ideas) that accomplishes the following three things:
1) Describes what a risograph is.
2) Provides three great reasons why artists have embraced this technology.
3) Gives your personal thoughts and opinions on it. Should DCAD invest in a risograph printer? Why or why not?
Make sure your writing is smart and crisp. Be as specific as you can. You probably will want to use direct quotations from Zastudil's article. I think 10-15 sentences is a good guideline. Copyedit your paragraph carefully before uploading it to our Populi discussion board.
