STEP 1: VISIT >
https://artsandculture.google.com/partner?hl=en
.
Browse through the partner museums and select one that has a "Museum View" or "Street View"
(typically if you scroll to the bottom, it will appear above the map).
It is important to make sure your selected museum has a
"Museum View"
or
"Street View"
of inside the galleries of the museum - not all do. Please confirm this before moving to step two. For example, the National Museum of Art in Washington DC doesn’t have a Museum View so you can’t pick it but MoMA or the Tokyo Fuji Art Museum does!
Please also make sure to pick an art museum, as you’ll need to write about a work of art. So, sadly, no history museums like the Anne Frank House, NASA, or Smithsonian National History Museum.
STEP 2: Select a work of art from your museum within the Museum/Street View or collections page.
You’ll want to pick a work here so that you can analyze where it’s located, what’s next to it and what kind of frame it has. It will look like this or if you found it by looking through that museum’s collection, it will look like the second image.
STEP 3: When you’ve found your artwork, click on the entry to learn more about your individual artwork. Spend some time clicking around the room it's in, seeing what’s next to it and what the architecture of the space is like.
STEP 4: Time to answer some questions!
QUESTIONS TO ANSWER IN YOUR REPORT
Font & Spacing
: 12pt, Times or Arial; Single or double-spaced is fine.
Length
: 1000 words (ok to go over).

Assignment (written paper format in paragraphs) Complete ALL parts in any order.
Part I – The Uses of Photography: Art, Politics and the Reinvention of a Medium (9/24/2016 – 1/2/2017)
The Uses of Photography examines a network of artists who were active in San Diego between the late 1960s and early 1980s and whose experiments with photography opened the medium to a profusion of new strategies and subjects. Working within the framework of conceptual art, these artists introduced urgent social issues and themes of everyday life with photographic works that took on hybrid forms, from books and postcards to video and text-and-image installations. Tracing a crucial history of photo-conceptual practice, The Uses of Photography focuses on an artistic community that formed in and around the University of California San Diego (UCSD), founded in 1960, and its visual arts department, founded in 1967.
1. Select three works of art in different media, such as photographic series, slide projection, video, audio recordings, artist’s books, installation or ephemeral (temporary) from three different artists. Remember to state each artist’s name, title, medium used and date.
2. Describe each selected work of art noticing the strongest visual elements, such as line, value (light & shadow), stopped time or kinetic, color, visual texture, etc. and/or principles of design, such as emphasis, rhythm, balance, unity & variety, scale or proportion. What makes each selected work of art effective?
3. What do you see as the social or political message of each selected work? Did the artist’s message prove to be true as time passed?
4. What symbolism or metaphors did your selected artist use to engage viewers?
Part II – Berkeley Protest Posters (9/24/2016 -1/2/2016)
1. Select two posters which you feel captures the mood of each decade of the 1960s and 1970s. Remember to state the artist’s name,
title, medium used and date.
2. Did you notice a poster which was appropriated? Explain the appropriation (as to the original idea and the new concept).
State the artist’s name, title, medium used and date. Research and state the original artist, title of work, medium and date.

(100 points total)
Purpose
The purpose of this assignment is for you to have a
face to face
experience with an artistic work and then write about your response to it. This means that you must witness something live, i.e., in bodily form rather than in virtual form (a movie, book, internet site would not work).
You must attend this experience this semester
. Possible experiences you could pursue:
Art museum or established art gallery exhibit, including the Collin Arts Gallery
Dance concert at college level or professional
Theater performance at college level or professional
Requirements:
Use good judgment in choosing an art experience. Your little niece’s ballet recital is not going to give you an experience that relates to the content of this course. A natural history museum, science museum, or historical exhibit is
not
appropriate. Do not write about work by a person who you know personally. Do not write about works on campus, which are not in the Arts Gallery. You must visit an art museum, art gallery, or theater or dance performance space!!!!
Format:
Your paper must be typed!
You must turn in a paper copy to me and submit a copy to turnitin via Canvas.
I will not grade a paper unless I have a paper copy and a turnitin submission. The recommended number of words is
850 words minimum
. Grammar and spelling count and are worth 20 points of the paper. Use double spacing in your paper!
***NOTE:
The final page of your personal response paper
must
include a photograph of you inside the gallery or museum. Do
not
include a photograph of the work or works you wrote about. Attendees of a theater or dance performance
must
include a program.***
Content:
Act as if you are writing for an audience who hasn’t seen or experienced the artwork(s) or performance. Your reader (me) is only able to experience the work(s) through your words. It is your responsibility to look at the work(s) as objectively as possible and articulate these findings to me. Your reader depends on YOU to make the appropriate word choices, to consider what the artist may or may not be doing. You should avoid reading anything about the work other than: the title, the artist’s name, and the material used. The whole purpose of this assignment is to help you to learn how to trust your own abilities to observe, using your own senses, and make conclusions.
You must tell your reader where you saw the work(s), who created it, and the title. If it is a performance, you must give the name of the theater or dance company, the place where you saw it, and the director/choreographer.
Paper Format:
It is your personal responsibility to do
four
things, which are each worth 20 points:
1. Describe
in detail the art works, dance pieces, or theater performance under consideration from an objective standpoint ...

Unit 2 Due Jan 18 2015
This assignment has 2 parts.
Part 1
When you look at ancient art, particularly ancient sculpture, you see progression in how the body in motion is represented. For this assignment, find 3 different sculptures, all from the ancient period (created between 30,000 BCE and 500 CE), which show progression of how the body is depicted in motion. For example, your first sculpture may be largely stationary, the second shows some motion, while the third shows an active body.
You may choose examples of sculpture from any of the following museums:
•
A New York art museum
•
A Paris museum
•
Select galleries in a Washington, DC museum
•
A Boston Museum
Paste images of all 3 sculptures into a Word document, and include details about each work: the title of each sculpture, the artist (if known), the year made, the materials used, and the size of the work. Be sure to include a reference for each work, showing which museum it was found in. Present 2 or 3 paragraphs for each work that clearly describe what the viewer sees and the content of each work. Finally, choose 3 adjectives (for each work) that express the core ideas of what the works were intended to communicate or convey to the viewer.
Part 2
Create a simple drawing of each sculpture. Draw a line down each work to indicate the center of balance. Use arrows or lines with arrows to indicate the direction of motion and movement within the sculpture. Scan or photograph your drawings and paste them into the Word document from Part 1. You can insert images into documents by placing the cursor where you want the image to be, going to “Insert,” then choosing “Picture,” and selecting the picture from your computer. Be sure to scan or photograph your drawing first and upload it to your computer.
Part 3
For each sculpture that you have chosen, choose a photograph, cartoon, movie poster, or any other image which uses the same stance, or bears remarkable similarity to the sculpture you chose in Part 1. Present at least 1 of these modern-day equivalents, with appropriate comments discussing any relevant details.
Submit 1 Word document for this assignment.
You are required to comply with APA style format for quotations, internal citations, and a reference list. For additional information and resources on APA style, visit the APA section of the Library, which is available under Library Features.

First exhibitions and accomplishments as an artist:
How did he/she come to be well-known?

Examples of work:
Most artists have made a large variety of work. Choose 3 of your favorite photographs and tell us why you like them. Explain what series this photograph is part of if it is part of a larger series of work. Copy and paste the photographs you have chosen and include them with the write-up. (Please list the artist, title, and date of the pieces that you include.)
(ie: Cindy Sherman is best known for her series "Untitled Film Stills" in which she dresses up restages fictitious scenes from films.)
Working style of the artist:
Where did the artist go to make these images? (Do they travel? Set up photos in the studio? Take self portraits?) What kind of equipment does he/she use? (A simple camera, flashes?)
(ie: William Eggleston is known for photographing the Mississippi Delta region, where he is from. He prefers to walk and roam the streets, looking for ordinary everday objects and subjects. Very rarely does he stage a photograph.)
Overarching concept and style of the artist’s work:
Tell use more about the themes in the artist’s work. What is he/she known for? What is he/she trying to express or comment upon in the work? Look at reviews of the artist’s work or a review of an exhibition he has been in. Please find reviews from reputable sources (the

, FindArticles, etc.).
(ie: Robert Frank is best known for his series, "The Americans" in which he criss-crossed the United States between 1955 and 1956 trying to capture the true essence of those times, in society, politics, and culture. He is trying to show the human condition and what it meant and looked like to exist during that time in the mid 50s.)
