  • “Exploring the World of Visual Arts: A Virtual Tour of Iconic Museums” Visual Arts Scavenger Hunt Matrix: | Museum Name | The Louvre | The British Museum | Smithsonian | |————-|————|———————|————-|

    For this week’s assignment, you’ll be presented with a scenario that asks you to consider and apply what you’ve learned over the last couple of weeks. The assignment is graded, and it will allow you to demonstrate how well you can describe the genres within the visual arts (Course Learning Outcome #1).
    Scenario: You and a group of your friends have been talking about going on a trip to some different museums around the world. Before making travel plans, you want to get a better idea of the types of artwork featured in some of the museums. You have each agreed to do some research to share with each other as a group to discuss where you want to go.  
    You have decided to research the following museums – the Louvre, the British Museum, and the Smithsonian – by completing a virtual tour of each location. 
    Note: For the Louvre, there is a button on the top left side of your screen that changes the language of the site to English.
    Note: The tours are reading only. The spoken parts of the Lourve tour are in French, but you only need to read the English sections of that website. The British Museum and the Smithsonian are all in English, and you can complete your entire assignment by just going to those two English-speaking museums if you prefer. You do NOT have to go on a formal “tour.” Rather, just look at various works of art on the websites.
    Go on a virtual scavenger hunt of these locations looking for examples of visual art. 
    Complete the Visual Arts Scavenger Hunt Matrix.
    Ensure your assignment addresses the criteria in the grading rubric.

  • “Exploring the Contemporary Art Scene in New Orleans: A City Essay”

    Overview 
    This extra-credit assignment is worth up to 5% of total class points. This is the
    equivalent of half of a letter grade. I encourage you to take the opportunity to do it.
    Choose a city in the United States to research for a Mini City Project Essay. Our class
    has been focused on regions outside of the US. Now, shift your focus back here, use
    the skills you’ve developed this semester to explore the structure of an art scene in
    another city in the US. Los Angeles is not an option. Detroit is a good choice.
    Chicago, too. New York is an obvious choice, but it is so big it could be overwhelming.
    How about New Orleans? Open up a map of the US, sit back and look around. Use
    the City Essay worksheet to help generate questions to inform your essay. I encourage
    you to choose one of the larger cities, because you need to be able to find good,
    reliable sources to draw on.

  • “Exploring the Emotional Impact of ‘The Scream’ by Edvard Munch: A Formal and Iconographic Analysis” Exploring the Artistic Mediums: A Journey Through Different Art Forms “Exploring the Tucson Museum of Art: A Reflection on Paraphrasing and Plagiarism”

    When at the museum, select one work of art that appeals to you on an emotional level in some way (with either positive or negative feelings) and prepare a 1500-3000 word, double-spaced, paper that includes a thorough formal analysis and additional research from at least two scholarly sources -at least one of which can’t be a website (it may be an article, paper, or book accessed online via the Library). No encyclopedias.  Your paper will discuss and demonstrate a critical appreciation of the visual art ideas, design fundamentals and materials observed (see the modules that introduced Visual Language/Design and Media and Techniques).
    Additionally you will have to find, and include in the paper, at least one picture of the work you select and at least one selfie you take with the work in person, without which the Discussion will not be accepted. 
    Your notes should include a description of the artwork. This involves taking an inventory of what is depicted. What do you see? (imagine you are describing what you see to someone over the phone) Start with the obvious. Name what you see: trees, figures (how many), squares, ovoid shapes, biomorphic shapes, colors, etc. Are they located in the foreground, mid-ground, or background? Recognize repetition of shapes, colors, etc. Point out spatial characteristics. Does it appear you are looking into deep space or is the space very shallow? Discuss the character of execution of the media. How has the paint been applied? Are there many thin layers, impasto? Are the tools of execution evident in the work? You may not use all this information in your final edit, but it will help to create a mental picture for your reader and will help you remember details about the appearance of the work.
    Formal Analysis
    Formal analysis refers to the relationships among the elements and principles of design that can be identified in the work. How are they organized in regard to shape, the areas with intensity of color, texture, etc.? Are there contradictions such as more than one type of space being implied? See the module that covers Visual Design for more specific detail on this topic.
    The following questions will help you decipher what is being overtly and covertly expressed:
    Is the composition stable or dynamic? What type of balance exists? Symmetrical? Asymmetrical? Are shapes, colors, textures, or other elements repeated to create a rhythm?
    Is there more variety or more unity in the design?
    Are there perspective effects; overlaps, changes in size, color intensity, or sharpness of edge, that suggest space deeper than that of the picture plane? Are objects shown with shadows or highlights? Are there contradictions such as more than one type of space being implied?
    Does there seem to be a dominant color scheme, primary, complementary secondary, warm or cool, or analogous?
    Do the light and dark tones (value) of the work strongly contrast or change gradually? Is there a main focal point or more than one center of interest?
    Iconographic Analysis
    Next make notes on the context and iconography. This will require additional research. You will be exploring the history, mythology, and philosophy relating to the symbolic content of the work. Remember that some works will have more than one meaning. Below are examples of the kinds of questions about meaning that you might ask while viewing the work.
    What themes are found in the work of art?
    What symbols are found in the work?
    What do they mean? What relevance do these meanings have for the culture in which the work was created and for contemporary culture?
    The descriptive, formal and iconographic notes will be very useful when you are writing the paper at home.
    Don’t trust yourself to remember details without notes.
    The following are questions to consider while studying the artwork. They may help you with the formal and expressive properties.
    For any work of art
    What is the focal point in the work?
    How has the artist managed to focus your attention on the main element?
    What style of art is this? How can you tell?
    Why do you think the artist created this work?
    For a drawing or print
    How did the artist’s choice of medium affect the drawing?
    Was the choice of medium a good choice? How so?
    For a painting
    What type of paint was used?
    How does the artist’s use of color affect the painting or your reaction to it?
    Describe the color relationships, and what significance they may have.
    If there are visible textures, how could the artist have made them? Discuss possible ways the paint was applied.
    If the painting was not done on canvas, why do you think the artist chose a non-traditional surface to work on?
    For a photograph
    Is the photograph black and white or color?
    Does the choice of b&w or color have a particular effect on the subject matter? Would one or the other have been a better choice?
    Is this a documentary-type photo, or an “artistic” one? How can you tell which it is?
    For a sculpture
    What material is used?
    Are there visible textures? How does texture impact the subject of the work?
    Is the work a high or low relief or is it meant to be seen in the round?
    Format your paper as follows and insert each of the two required images: at least one picture of the work you select and at least one selfie you take with the work in person, without which the Discussion will not be accepted. 
    Heading
    You do not need a title page. In the upper left hand corner of the first page put Student Name, Instructor Name, Course, Section and Date. Two spaces below this heading type the title of the essay. Leave two spaces between the title and the first line of the paper.
    Text
    All papers must be typed, double-spaced.
    Use 11 or 12 point font
    Do not use a showy font.
    Images/Illustrations
    This paper requires two Image/Illustrations inserted into it:
    at least one picture of the work you select and
    at least one selfie you take with the work in person, without which the Discussion will not be accepted. 
    Cite your illustrations by number both on the illustration and in your text. For example: Albrecht Durer’s detail of The Knight, Death and the Devil depicts his mastery of the medium of engraving and his use of detail to enhance the expressive content of his work.”
    Be sure to Insert the .jpg images of the work – do not provide links – they need to be embedded within the Discussion post.
