Art School
Confidential (set in Brooklyn, I think Pratt)
The Shape of Things (boyfriend
becomes senior thesis project)
Bagdad Café (totally
feel-good movie with a painter character)
The Seventh Seal (Ingmar
Bergman) (the images, especially the Knight playing chess with Death, are so
utterly iconic: we have an obligation, no? to make our students culturally
literate)
What films have you screened with success (or not) in LA 190?
I've shown _Thank You for Smoking_ as a way to introduce argument (plus it's a bunch of satirical fun) and, more specifically at CCAD, _Ghost World_as a way to discuss graphic novels, of course, but also issues of art in a consumer culture, the artist as "outsider" and growing up in general.
