This document provides instructions for a research project in an Art Appreciation class. Students will be assigned a piece of art at random and research it using at least 6 credible sources, not including internet sources. They will then reinterpret the piece of art in a different medium of their choosing, such as painting, dance, or poetry. Finally, students will write a 4-page research paper discussing the original artwork and their reinterpretation of it. The paper should follow MLA style guidelines and be double-spaced with 12-point font. Both the creative reinterpretation and written paper are due on April 17th.
Dallas Museum of art or the Kimbell art museum.Pick six differen.docxwhittemorelucilla
Dallas Museum of art or the Kimbell art museum.
Pick six different concepts . For example, one art piece you discuss should represent the concept of art for daily use, another one should be a good example of art as a visual delight, etc.Please keep in mind that your paper needs to be a minimum of four full pages long. Further, each art piece you use as an example of the six purposes and functions of art from Chapter 2 should be identified by artist, title and media. Additionally, feel free to describe each art piece and discuss your impressions of them.
The Museum Paper is the only assigned paper for this Art Appreciation course. Accordingly, I've tried to give students all the information they need to get as much as they can out of the assignment as well as to earn the full 100 points available. With rare exception, students who want to rewrite their paper may do so after they get their initial grade and my comments. So, get started as soon as you can and feel free to send me your paper early. Good luck.
1) Read Chapters 1 and 2 from the textbook.
Chapter 1 is entitled, "T
he Nature of Art and Creativity
", and it will give you some background and orient you to the visual arts. Further, it discusses what Art and creativity are, different types of artists, and the concept of "Looking and Seeing.” This chapter will introduce you to some terms to help you better express things you might already know and some you may not have thought about before.
Although Chapter 1 contains important concepts, students are not required to incorporate these concepts into their papers. Rather, this chapter will help you understand your virtual museum visit and subsequent chapters.
Chapter 2 is entitled, "
The Purposes and Functions of Art
", and addresses why people feel the need to create Art, the ways people use Art, how Art enhances society and the different ways artists communicate what they want to express. Pay particular attention to the six purposes and functions of art because you will cite these concepts in your paper.
2) Check out the art on the website of an approved major art museum. After reading this assignment and the assigned textbook pages, go to one of the following websites:
Dallas Museum of Art
Kimbell Art Museum
Think about what you've read in Chapter 2 while you're looking at the art. This is probably even more important for those pieces you don't like or understand or can't figure out why the museum even chose them for its collection.
While looking at the art, I want you to identify six art pieces that are good examples of the six Purposes and Functions of Art discussed in Chapter 2. Each art piece should represent only one concept from Chapter 2.
I want you to be exposed to a variety of art so it's important that you make sure to see art created by different artists, made in different media and produced during different time periods. For instance, this means you shouldn't pick just paintings to discuss, or ju.
Library Research AssignmentChoose three (3) works of artfrom thr.docxSHIVA101531
Library Research Assignment
Choose three (3) works of artfrom three artists from the Baroque period through the Postmodern era. Your three (3) works of art should come from the time periods or art movements covered in the reading from Unit 4 and Unit 5. Your choices must comply with the following criteria:
· The 3 artworks chosen must be of the same style or time period. For example, you can choose one of the following suggestions:
· 3 Baroque works of art, or
· 3 Impressionist works of art, or
· 3 Abstract Expressionist works of art, etc.
· Your three (3) works of art should have a similar theme. For example: 3 landscapes, or 3 works that focus on religious content, etc.
· Outof the three works of art by the three (3) artists selected,you must choose at least two (2) works from two artists discussed in the textbook.
· If you decide to choose one work of art that is not from the textbook, the artists must be discussed in the text. Begin your search by reviewing artists in the text. Then you can search other Internet sources for their other works of art.
This project is broken down into two parts.
1. In Unit 4, you will work on the first three bullet points, which are highlighted in bold below, as well as an introduction and conclusion.
2. The "final draft," will be completed for Unit 5, and will cover the last two bullet points (listed in the Unit 5 Individual Project assignment).
Your final paper will be a 1200–1500 word critical essay about the three works of art you have chosen. The goals of a critical essay are to evaluate and analyze the artworks based on research, using the vocabulary and concepts you have learned. Your attitude should be detached (i.e., your personal opinions are not as important as academic concepts; The "critical" aspect of the essay refers to this detached attitude, not whether you react positively or negatively to the works).
Your essay must include the following points:
1. A description of the works including the style. Describe basic facts, as well as the visual appearance of the work (What does the viewer see? Where are key figures located? What tells us that the work is of a particular style?)
2. A summary of the artists' personal philosophies of art (if they can be found in published sources), and the prevailing trends and schools of thought in the art world at the time and in the place the artist was working. For instance, discuss what was taking place in each artist's city, country, and/or church that may have provoked a reaction from the artist or the greater society. Include any information that might help the reader understand the artist's point of view or why the artist made his or her choices in this work of art.
3. An explanation of how the works fit into the context of the time period.
4. Compare the three works in terms of form, content, and subject matter. Using the terminology and concepts that you have learned in the course, explain the similarities and differences in the styles of the wo ...

Extended Looking/Writing Assignment and Interpretive Research Paper
Overview:
Continuing to focus on the artwork that was the subject of your formal analysis paper, you will conduct
scholarly research to deepen your knowledge of this work of art. You will also return to the museum to
look in a more careful, informed way at your artwork for an extended period of time while recording your
observations. From your research and close observation, you will compose an interpretive research paper.
Part 1: Research
Gather, read, and take notes on at least 5 scholarly sources about your artwork and/or artist that have been
published in print. Your task is to learn as much as possible about your artwork, such as:
• its material constitution (What is it made of? What is its medium?)
• how it was made
• how it fits into the artist’s larger practice
• how it relates to its immediate movement and to the larger art historical period of modernism
• how it relates to modernity, or the social/cultural/economic/political context of its time
• how previous scholars/critics/art historians have interpreted the work (this information is crucial
to forming a thesis for your interpretive research paper)
Good places to look for books and essays include the Architecture and Arts library online catalogue,
course syllabus, textbook bibliographies, Worldcat, JSTOR, ARTbibliographies Modern (ABM), the
Houston Public Library, and the library at the MFAH, which is open to the public. You may also look
beyond scholarly books and articles published by university presses to sources like exhibition catalogues
and art magazines. In your final paper, you may only cite scholarly sources with integrity that have
appeared in print (even if you access them via an online database such as JSTOR). No general-interest
newspaper or magazine articles; no blogs, museum websites, or online magazines or encyclopedias.
Part 2: Extended Looking/Writing Assignment — due Monday, November 6 in hard copy in class
After you have gathered, read, and taken notes on at least 5 pieces of scholarly writing about your artist/
artwork, you will perform an extended looking and writing exercise in front of your artwork at the
museum. Your task is to spend 60 minutes looking at your artwork as an informed viewer and writing
down observations as they come to you. It is ideal to perform the exercise in one sitting, but if necessary
you may take breaks or separate your looking sessions into smaller units of time, as long as they are not
less than 30 minutes each. Make sure you bring a pencil and paper to write with, as ink pens are not
allowed in museum galleries. After your writing session is complete, type up your notes so they are
legible and upload your document to TurnItIn (accessible via Blackboard) by November 6. To prepare for
this exercise, read Jennifer L. Roberts’s short article, “The Power of Patie.
TERM PAPER INSTRUCTIONS Final Due Date is December 4.docxmehek4
TERM PAPER INSTRUCTIONS
Final Due Date is December 4, 6, 7 (depending on whether you are in my Monday, Wednesday or
Thursday Section)
(Note: Papers will NOT be accepted after December 11, 13, 14) (depending on whether you are in my
Monday, Wednesday or Thursday Section)
The paper is intended to offer you an opportunity to study an original work of art from the period covered by
the course. Your paper should include both firsthand observations from the work of art itself and evidence of
library research. Use the interactive map on the Metropolitan Museum of Art website to locate the works of art
on the list below. It is important that you study an original work of art directly, and not rely solely on book
illustrations or online images. The evaluation of your paper will be based both on the content and substance of
the paper as well as your ability to convey information and ideas in writing. Your ability to follow these term
paper instructions is also important. I expect a well-written and organized paper in which your sources are
adequately and properly documented. Before you hand in your paper, please reread these term paper instructions
carefully to make sure that you have followed all of the directions.
Choose a topic from the list of works of art in the Metropolitan Museum of Art (found in the following pages).
Each work of art will have a different subject, history, and literature. When choosing a topic, try to focus on one
that interests you visually as well as thematically, historically, and intellectually. To understand the requirements
of the assignment and how it will be evaluated, please read carefully the section below entitled “Criteria for the
Evaluation of the Term Paper.” In addition, you may find the book by Suzanne Hudson and Nancy Noonan-
Morrissey, The Art of Writing About Art, helpful in formulating your ideas and organizing your paper. This book is
on reserve in the Henry Birnbaum Library.
Format: Carefully organize the important information and main ideas of your paper. In the first paragraph,
introduce and fully identify your subject, the main themes of your paper, and methods of analysis (optional).
Then, in a logical sequence of well-structured paragraphs that make up the body of the paper, develop each of
the themes you introduced in the first paragraph. Begin with the most important theme, which may be to explain
what is known about the original setting (placement), function, and patronage of the work of art, that is, the
specific historical context for which the work of art was made. After an analysis of the historical facts surrounding
the work, include a straight-forward identification of the work’s subject matter (you may include information
about the work’s textual or iconographic source, tradition, and the artist's particular interpretation of the subject
matter). Describe the composition of the work of art and its style (for example, how it has characteristi ...

Research Assignment Stage 1
Assignment: This is the birth of your major project for this semester. To begin, you will do a little digging. Consider what about this period is of particular interest to you, what do you have questions about when you consider the late 18thC/early 19thC (1790-1820). Now, find an object/artwork around which you can base your line of inquiry. Finally, start investigating sources that will help you along the way.
This assignment includes your bibliography, including at least 4 preliminary sources (1 of which must be a primary source) as well as a short abstract introducing your proposed project. This must introduce your object and may ask the questions you are looking to unpack.
ALSO - indicate if you will give a
presentation or written essay for Stage 3.
The Specifics:
· Ensure that your name, student number, course number, and word count for your abstract (300-400 words) all appear on the first page.
· Ensure your citations (footnotes and bibliography) are consistent. There is a link to this on BrightSpace.
· This assignment assesses your ability to follow instructions, conduct research, and begin a line of original inquiry. I will be looking for at least 4 different sources.
· Plagiarism
WILL NOTbe tolerated. See your syllabus and the University of Victoria Calendar for details. Understanding what constitutes plagiarism is your responsibility and is vital as it could result in a failing grade or worse.

Research Project Instructions
For your research assignment, you will be tasked with researching a piece of art, and then
reinterpreting it in your own creative way. The following will guide you through the basic process you will use to
create your reinterpretation:
1. You will choose your piece of art by drawing a topic, at random, from a hat.
2. Once you’ve chosen your piece of art, perform research on it.
3. For a four-page research project, you should use no fewer than 6 credible sources.
i. With the exception of the databases available through Valencia’s libraries, none of your sources
may come from the Internet.
4. After you’ve completed your research and have a good understanding of the piece of art’s meaning, use
what you’ve learned to create your own interpretation of it.
You may, and in fact are encouraged to, change the medium from the original work of art to
your own.
For instance, if you choose a painting, you may reinterpret that as a painting, a song, a film, etc.
Be sure the medium you choose caters to your own abilities and interests, not the original
artist’s.
Possible media to consider for your interpretation include photography, fashion design,
painting, dance, sculpture, modeling, film, or poetry.
Be creative and “think outside the box”!
5. Finally, craft a research paper that first discusses the original artwork, as you understand it from your
research.
This section should make up the bulk of your paper’s length – at least 3 pages.
In addition, you should not use first or second person point-of-view when writing this section of
your paper.
After discussing the original artwork, then discuss your own interpretation. Be sure to explain
your own perspective and artistic choices. This is the only section of your paper in which you are
allowed to use first-person point-of-view (i.e. “After completing my research on Andy Warhol, I
concluded that…”).
Collectively, the written component of your project should total 4 full pages (not including
cover or Works Cited pages).
Your text should be double-spaced, set in Arial size 12 font, and have standard 1” margins. Use
proper MLA style citation for in-text citations, the Works Cited page, and the cover page (refer
to attached MLA style guide for help).
6. Both the artistic and the written components of your project are due in class on Monday, April 17th
.
2. In Conclusion: Have as much fun as you can with this! This assignment isn’t meant as a punishment, but
rather as an opportunity for you to synthesize academic skills with personal expression. The more passionate
you are about your chosen topic, that less “work” this assignment will be.
