Intro to Modernism

Wednesday's class we will be beginning to learn about modernism. Just a F.Y.I. there will be a supervisor in class to observe my lesson.  I will provide a handout for everyone in class describing modernism. There will also be a power point with extra key ideas. I'll list them here as well just so everyone has them. I will also be providing examples of artwork that were created during the Modernist era. Again, I will post the pictures here so everyone will be able to reference them and  to keep everyone updated for whoever may have missed class!
Thanks!,
Ms. Snyder

Key Ideas to remember about Modernism:

*An emphasis on impressionism and subjectivity in writing. HOW instead of WHAT

*A Movement away from objectivity provided by third-person narrators, fixed narrative POV’s, and clear-cut moral positions (ex. Faulkner)
*Blurring distinctions of genres, so poetry seems more documentary (ex. Eliot)
*Emphasis on fragmented forms and discontinuous narratives
*A tendency toward reflexivity, or self-consciousness, about artwork
*Modernists champion the individual and celebrate inner strength

*Modernists believe life is unordered
*Modernists concern themselves with the sub-conscious

Here are examples of artwork from the Modernist Era
