Select one of the projects listed below. You will base your project on the themes, concepts, civilizations, artistic periods, artistic styles, or artists we have been studying this semester. Your project should reflect an understanding of one or more of the steps of the Art History Critique process: Formal Analysis, Interpretation, and Historical and Cultural Context.
Process: You may want to consult sources beyond the textbook as you complete your project. Keep track of these sources, because you must identify them in MLA style format or Chicago Style format (the gold standard for Art History). I will post links to style guides for both styles.
Originality/Turnitin: When/if you use sources as you develop your project, keep in mind that I expect that your project will be written entirely in your own words and that you will identify the sources of any researched information you use, even when paraphrased. Copying and pasting text from sources without proper attribution will be treated as a possible case of plagiarism and may result in a reduced grade or a zero for the assignment. Note that, when you submit your project, it will also be submitted to Turnitin, a plagiarism detection software.
Deliverables: Submit the completed project in Blackboard at a tab provided for that purpose. The tab will be posted under the Creative Project tab and in the content folder for the week in which it is due. The final product can be a Word doc, Pdf file, or PowerPoint presentation, depending on what best suits your project.
Project Choice 2: Plan/design a work of art in any medium that “has a conversation” with a theme, concept, civilization, artistic period, artistic style, or artist you have encountered in this class. By conversation, I mean that you have considered your relationship as an artist with the art of the past, which is your artistic legacy. This relationship can take many forms: rejecting the art of the past, building upon it, challenging it, absorbing it, etc. Your conversation should incorporate your understanding of at least one aspect of the Art History Critique process.
Deliverables:
1) A plan or preliminary design for your work of art or a picture of a work of art completed for this project. I do not expect you to make a completed work of art for this project.
2) An artist’s statement of at least 5 paragraphs explaining how your conversation with the material in this course and the Art History Critique process is reflected in the work of art you have planned or made.
3) Identify any sources you used to plan your work of art, including the textbook.
The link for the textbook will be given to you when hired
