Essay requirements:
Double-spaced 6 to 7 pages, which includes the images and the
assessment of physical properties.
One image/artwork page per, and the other pages would be your
written text.
Include a biography = this involves more than just the basic
facts like education, work, and death; it portrays a
person's experience of major life events, focusing on their
career as an artist.

4. Discuss 3 artworks made by the artist, include these images in
your essay.
Format the images with the assessment of physical properties,
review the sample included in the PowerPoint that discusses the
final project requirements.
Include your bibliography, (list of sources that have been used
to compile the data for your essay)include links to the websites
you used when researching your artist.
1 photo of yourself and the artwork in the museum, so I know
you went. It is required you go see artwork in person, the reason
for this is because seeing the work in person is far better than
simply viewing it on the computer.
It is required to include the Process of Visual Analyze; the four
types of investigation, one of the concepts included in the
contents of the course. It is prerequisite to review the
information in the Introduction Lecture, from Week 1. The four
types of investigation, the Process of Visual Analyze, are
described below, however, it is essential to review the
information covered in Week 1.
Assessment of physical properties = objective information, the
facts (review the sample included in the PowerPoint that
discusses the final project requirements).
PICK at least ONE of the artworks and apply the following two
ways we have learned how to Visually Analysis artwork:
Analysis of visual or formal structure = discuss the visual
elements or formal vocabulary, which would be used to describe
the overall arrangement, composition, organization, design, or

5. structure of the artwork. Use the vocabulary terms we have
covered throughout the semester.
Identification of subject matter or conventional symbolism =
Explain or identify the “subject matter” in the artwork. Also
explain or identify, if any, the symbols found in the artwork.
Symbols are widely recognized signs that signify a concept or
idea that all members of a group (society) identify based on a
common cultural understanding.
This is similar to the Bio about the artist, but different. Pick
one of the artwork and apply the cultural context- like what we
did with the Civil Rights Essay homework assignment. And
other homework projects.
Integration within cultural context = Cultural context looks at
the society the artist lived in and how their culture had an effect
on their behavior and their opportunities. And how this effected
their artwork and the message in their artwork.
In your essay, you must also discuss the role of the artist you
have chosen. How they incorporated this part of being an artist
into their creative process. The four roles of the artist are
described below. It is required to review the information
from Week 2 – The Visual World: Chapter 1: Discovering a
World of Art.
They create a visual record of their time and place.
They help us to see the world in new and innovative ways.
They make functional objects and structures more pleasurable
by instilling them with beauty and meaning.
Artists give form to the immaterial—hidden truths, spiritual

6. forces, personal feelings.
It is also required to have a thoughtful conclusion, {closing
paragraph}, should summarize, in your own words, reflecting on
the main points, considerations, and concepts covered in your
essay. This is one of my favorite parts to read, hearing your
thoughts on what you learned from your essay and the artist you
researched.

temporary metropolis where experimental art installations—
some ritually burned to the ground—are the centerpiece for
innovators, makers, and a burgeoning artistic community. The
exhibition will illuminate the values of Burning Man through its
guiding Ten Principles: Radical Inclusion, Gifting,
Decommodification, Radical Self-reliance, Radical Self-
expression, Communal Effort, Civic Responsibility, Leaving No
Trace, Participation, and Immediacy.

The Photographs of John Beasley Greene
August 31, 2019–January 5, 2020 - Floor 3
When the young archaeologist-photographer John Beasley
Greene (American, born France, 1832–1856) set out for Egypt
in 1853, the fields of both archaeology and photography were
still in formation. Their development was bound up with the
intense competition between Britain and France to impose
colonial rule and open trade markets in northern Africa, as well
as the parallel intellectual rivalry to acquire and systematize
knowledge of ancient Egyptian culture. Greene was one of the
first to use photography in the pursuit of archaeology,

ancient Egyptian monuments.
