II

I am taking an online course this summer called Contempory Art. The teacher did not post the textbook list until the first day of class, which was Tuesday. After scrambling to order these books at a discount, I realized that they would not arrive until at least a week from now and yet I have an essay quiz on the materials due Sunday. I was able to find the only accessible copy of the textbook in the city and read it for half an hour before the art museum library closed. I have to choose a work of art to analyze using four different models, which I have to figure out from the four introductions in the textbook.

The four models appear to be:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structuralism

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poststructuralism

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deconstruction

but I'm not positive. On the bright side, it's only a quiz.
