WRITING CIRCLE PROMPT

INDIVIDUAL RESPONSE

In my lecture that accompanies Goodwin’s Apocalypse I say that the painting represents: “vagueness, the ambiguity of any one person’s reality.” What emotions does this painting create in you as you study it more closely? Account for these emotions by describing the elements or parts of the painting responsible for evoking them. Then, explore how you might relate any of these emotions to the “vagueness” or “ambiguity” of the changes you see happening today in our world, country, culture, or society.
