Arts Assignment

Space film: 2001: a Space Odyssey (link to stream—works in Chrome and Firefox). Focus your 1-3¶ response on a key scene in the film. Note that this is a long movie (2½ hours), and you’re more likely to find connection to the themes of our course in the last ⅔ than in the first part. So plan ahead in finding time to watch the film.
