    Hi Jennifer,
    I was unable to be in class on the 8th due to family circumstances. Can you explain the homework for spring break a little more?

    Thank you,
    Julia

    Hey Julia,
    Sorry I didn't respond earlier. I haven't been logged into blogger over break. We are supposed to read Signs and Symbols (which I posted a link to it on my blog). Then write a paragraph about what you read. Just basically insights that you got. Pretty much like we were supposed to do with that Arachne Painting. Let me know if you have more questions. I will be by my laptop until class starts this afternoon.
    Jennifer
