Note from Julia on the complex nature of the periodization of artWhen talking about a particular period of art, we must acknowledge that we use that period title as an artificial construct to organize a vast & complicated body of artwork, cultural trends, and artistic motives into a neat little box appropriate for teaching such material. We can use these constructs successfully, as long as we also acknowledge that they are limiting and in some cases must be overlooked.SourcesNew York Times - "How a Medusa Sculpture From a Decade Ago Became #MeToo Art" https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/13/arts/design/medusa-statue-manhattan.htmlLandsing State Journal - "Lead testing plummets during the pandemic, an alarming development for Michigan children" https://www.lansingstatejournal.com/story/news/2020/09/28/lead-testing-michigan-lansing-plummets-during-coronavirus-pandemic/3502494001/ CreditsFollow Julia on Instagram @juliawh92Follow us on Twitter @ilsicpodcastPodcasting by March Washelesky and Jordan PazolIntro music and editing by Jordan PazolThumbnail art by Reagan Pazol
