1. Unit 9 Assignment:
This Assignment will give you an opportunity to apply
techniques of art analysis to a work of art that catches your
attention. You will investigate the main points and purposes of
that movement in art from the era of Modernism and see how it
is relevant and present in today’s works of creative expression.
Part I:
Introduce a movement of art, literature, architecture, or music
from the unit. You should explain why you decided to
investigate this movement. Explain the details and introduce
some of the purposes behind this style of creation. These ideas
are not limited to the time frame when they were put to use.
Instead, learning about art in the Modern Era can give you tools
for evaluating art, ideas, design, and music today as well.
Part II:
Choose and introduce a creative product made between 2000
and today. You will make a case for why you believe this
selection suits the movement you selected from the Modern Era.
This could be a present-day work of art, architecture, literature,
film, philosophy, design, opera, dance or music. What is this
work? What makes you choose it?
Part III:
Explain why the present-day work of artistic expression meets
the definition of the Modernist movement on your view.
Demonstrate the similarities that you see, the ideas and
concepts that make it fit, and how you felt these ideas were
connected. Explain why you think the present day creation
would use the features of the Modernist artistic movement. Aim
to really explain, justify, and interpret the ideas based on the
concepts from the course and the ideas you have learned in the
2. unit.
The Assignment should be at least 500 words. You may follow
the Assignment template in Doc Sharing. Follow the formatting
guidelines put forth in the APA style of writing, and structure
your thoughts in essay format – introductory paragraph and
thesis statement, supporting paragraphs, and a conclusion.
