For your original comment please do not summarize the lecture or the reading. This is very important. Instead, choose a theme from the lecture that interests you or a specific artwork to think about further. Offer something new and constructive for us to think about. For example, you can make a connection I did not see in my lecture. Or you can describe a work in such a way that sheds a different light on it. You can choose to elaborate on the social or political context. You can make an argument that I did not make in my lecture about a specific work or artist. You can take an existing idea from the lecture and run with it by adding your own perspective. Or you can do a combination of these approaches. In short, you want to develop an idea or topic that interests you, which might form the basis for an online discussion with fellow students.
Feel free to be adventurous and speculative with your ideas, though always try to back up any claims you make with compelling evidence or further details. Again, please do not write a general summary or synopsis. This is a low-stakes writing exercise geared towards the practice of focused, analytical, critical, and experimental thinking.
The length of your original comments can vary, though they should in the ball park of 400-500 words.
