1. Step 1.
Make a connection between your career field and the
visual
arts**.
Write & post your thesis statement sentence= (visual arts +
career field + connection) and visual artist born after 1900
within Graded Lesson 1 IDE Discussion Board.
[How can or has aspects of the visual arts been used in your
chosen career?
or
What does your career field and the visual arts have in
common?,
or
how your career field has contributed to the visual arts,
or
how a similarity exists between the two.
AND identify
at least one visual artist born
after
1900 to example your connection. ]
[For example, an accountant goes through an analytical process
to determine the financial status of a company, and visual
artists Jeanne and Claude Christo went through a process when
considering the creation of
The Gates
. Thus the commonality or common denominator is analytical
thinking and processes. ]

2. View these documents to broaden your concept of an artist and
some example connections (
Thinking Around an Artist - Connections Wheel.pdf
**The visual arts are those arts discussed in your textbook.
**In addition: although the career field of nursing may be an
art, it is not a visual art. Although the human body is art, it is
not a visual art in itself. However, a nurse can use the visual
arts (the artwork of Mary Cassatt for example) to promote
mental well being of his/her patients and the human body can be
used by artist in sculpture, photography etc.
**In addition: not all visual images are visual artworks!!
Visual images include some advertising, medical illustrations,
etc. However, all visual artworks rely upon visual images- as
all visual artwork are visual by nature. If this is unclear for
you- send your instructor a BB Message with your specific
questions.
Step 2.
Write your essay. (see below requirements for essay content and
format)
Submit your essay to the Writing Lab for their feedback on
format, grammar, etc. (submit through (Use Writing Lab

1. Just recently, I had the opportunity to see the original

5. David
(as referenced on page 49 & 456 in the textbook) at the
Accademia Museum in Florence, Italy.{business- art museum}
As the result of a commission{business and legal agreement of a
commission}, it was sculpted in the early 1500s by young artist
Michelangelo. Michelangeo’s
David
- Who commissioned the artwork and the sculptor’s point of
view also contribute to the content of this artwork.
Michelangelo used realistic representation. This portrayal of
David has a high degree of realism in reference to the form of a
human body. So yes, representational. Yet to my knowledge
there are no recorded images of the person of David, to whom
this sculpture refers. Thus artistic license took over, and
Michelangelo was able to portray David as he saw fit. Yes this
portrayal of David matches the handsome youth with his sling
described in the above reference, yet Michelangelo changed the
form in many ways to meet or satisfy artistic
content,composition and commission.{business}
2. Marketing and Advertising- symbols used here and in the
visual arts. I encourage you to check out this art appreciation
geared website. You will be able to zoom in on Hans Holbein's
The Ambassadors
at the London National Gallery to see the lines, color
application, etc
up close.
~and the symbols contained in this artwork are amazing
communicators of content. How is space represented in the
background drapery?
Please let me know what you think of this site. Type this
address into your browser --http://www.googleartproject.com

6. 3. Precision in Accounting.
How is Delacroix’s line imprecise and emotional?
I would like to address 'imprecise'. If you were to compare his
paintings to the lines of Jacques Louis David's
Death of Socrates
where the lines are planned and precise, you may notice the
clarity level of each as different. It almost appears that David's
was a photograph taken with an abundance of strong light in
great focus which created clearly defined objects with implied
outlines and lines of detail within. ((Neither of these are
photographs, comparing them to photos is a good reference
only.) Delacroix's on the other hand uses more of a subtle
candle light, slightly out of focus seemingly in parts, with dimly
lit figures and a great deal of figures that blend into the
darkness around them. Thus essentially the outlines of shading
around the edge and within most figures are blurred and
irregular.
4. While visiting the National Air and Space Museum a few
connections came to mind.
Consider the pioneers in
your field of study
as compared to the pioneers in the visual arts. For example
Kandinsky is the father of abstract visual arts and Lindberg is
one of the pioneers of aviation as he was accredited with the
first transatlantic flight in 1927 on the Spirit of St. Louis. Who
is a renown pioneer within your career field?
What are the basic components of
your career field
that make your career field possible and how do they relate to
the basics of the visual arts. For example, business is possible
due to money, math, etc. and visual artworks rely upon line,

7. color, space and light.
5. After visiting the Terra Cotta Warriors(found within the
burial pit of emperor Qin Shi Huang of China 200’s BC)
exhibit at the National Geographic Museum a few possible
interdisciplinary connections came to mind, that you might be
interested in developing for your IDE essay.
Hair design/Cosmetology
: How does the hair design- as seen on the individual
characteristics of each warrior identify him within the hierarchy
of the Qin military? Rounded knot design verses flat knot.
OR
Economics
: What is the place/value of gold to our society in comparison
to jade for the Qin dynasty?
OR
Administration
: What was the role/tasks of the city official to the Qin dynasty
in life and within the tomb as compared with a modern
administrator?
6. While visiting the Holocaust Memorial Museum in
Washington DC, the following possible career associations
came to mind.
Manager:
Within the museum, there was a section just for children. What
role would the creator and docent of this part of the museum
need to rely upon—
early childhood education
and the learning ability of children,
psychological
impact of events and images on children

8. 7. I recently visited the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and as I
walked through the museum a few connections came to mind
that will hopefully be of some use to you while making
connections for the upcoming essay. This museum has
incorporated a digital learning system into part of their
museum, how does this use of technology connect to the
Information Technology
field?
OR Consider the commonality of light and
communication
when considering the invention and use of stained glass
windows and the work of Louis Comfort Tiffany. Then
consider the role of light and communication in radiology and
psychology.
OR Consider the
business manager
position (overseer) under the pharaoh in ancient Egypt. What
possible roles did an Egyptian overseer serve. How does the art
of this era record information in a similar way that a modern
accounting ledger does. OR What role does subjectivity play in
the depiction of Picasso’s
Gerturde Stein
and what role does subjectivity play in
marketing, law, and the business
fields?
OR What role does commissioning play in 1900 paintings, as it
relates to business and prestige considerations when having a
family portrait completed by well known visual artists?
Consider the portraits done by Renoir. Are similar items valued
as prestigious to contemporary
business
men and women? Consider the collectors of today’s society.

9. OR Consider the Metropolitan Museum of Art as a
business
. How does the museum business relate to the visual art it
displays? Many wealthy art owners have donated artworks to
this museum, how does this play a role in the business related
practices of a museum?
OR
Realty:
How is the value of the property/business/ home of a well
known visual artist determined? Does a structure have historic
value due only to age or are prior occupants also a
consideration? Do real estate agents specialize in gallery sales,
or is selling a gallery no different than any other commercial
property? OR What is the role of an
administrator
for a visual art museum?
8.
Unit Supply
and the Visual Arts. I looked up a job description on
goarmy.com and these were some of the words they used
"Receive, inspect, inventory, load/unload, store, issue and
deliver supplies and equipment ". It struck me that this is the
same job description of a visual art gallery manager/owner.
Perhaps this type of connection would be of interest to you.
OR -Storage alone is an important aspect with visual artworks-
what considerations need to be made when storing Army
equipment (heat, wet, etc) and then also with storing a painting
for a given amount of time.???
