WEEK 07: Midterm Study Guide

The midterm test consists of 10 multiple choice questions. You will have 30 minutes.

I recommend you review all the material in the blue boxes at the upper right corner of each lesson page.

You should review

  • The four examples of appropriation in avant-garde art I looked at, and the featured artists: Raoul Hausmann and Hannah Hoch, Marcel Duchamp, Roy Lichtenstein and Andy Warhol, Sherry Levine and Richard Prince.
  • The Minstrel Shows and Travesty.
  • Vanillization in jazz, 50s pop, and The British Invasion.
  • Dub and riddims.
  • The early days of hip hop: Kool Herc and the origins of hip hop djing "Merry-Go-Round."
  • The rise of sampling and the story of how sampling changed thanks to a lawsuit.
  • The concepts of performance abduction and identity appropriation.
