Art-history CARS passage got you spiraling? In this Reading Skills Workshop, Molly and Jack break down the Sept 24 Jack Westin Daily, “Late Turner,” and show you how to read dense, abstract prose without panicking.
What you’ll learn:
- Anchor on clear sentences: If it’s important, there’s a clear line you can cling to.
- Track the author’s stance: The passage sets up “Turner = abstract” and then challenges it.
- Main idea: Turner’s late work isn’t free-form abstraction; it’s formal reinterpretation of classical myths.
- Follow the structure: Evidence → counterpoint → author’s claim → examples.
- Use examples as support, not trivia: Apollo & Daphne, Regulus, Mercury, Bacchus & Ariadne all illustrate reinterpretation.
- Stay focused in dense writing: When sentences get murky, keep reading for the next clear, testable claim.
