POP ART FINAL PROJECT

POP ART FINAL PROJECT PURCELL CHOOSE AN ARTIST FROM THE POP ART MOVEMENT AND GET IT APPROVED BY MR. P. WE WILL EXPLORE SEQUENTIAL ART BY CREATING A COMIC BOOK PAGE THAT ACTS AS A BIOGRAPHY, USING THE ARTIST AS THE NARRARATOR. THE PAGE WILL CONSIST OF AT LEAST FIVE PANELS AND EXPLORE THE FOLLOWING: WHERE WAS THE ARTIST BORN? WHAT KIND OF TRAINING DID THEY HAVE? WHAT WERE THEY BEST KNOWN FOR? WAS THERE ANY SPECIFIC EVENT IN THEIR CAREER THAT WAS IMPORTANT OR PIVOTAL? AN EXAMPLE OF THEIR WORK THAT BEST REPRESENTS WHAT THEY ARE KNOWN FOR. THE PAGE SHOULD BE RENDERED IN BLACK AND WHITE ON 11 X 17 BRISTOL BOARD WITH TEXT GENERATED DIGITALLY ON WORD AND PASTED ON TO YOUR ORIGINAL ART. (REMEMBER TO PLAN ON LEAVING SPACE FOR TEXT WHEN DEVELOPING YOUR THUMBNAIL SKETCHES.) THE FINISHED PAGE WILL BE GRADED ON THE CONTENT’S ACCURACY AND THE CLARITY OF THE NARRATIVE.

ADVANCED ART FINAL

MR. PURCELL 5/12 ADVANCED ART FINAL PROJECT FINAL PROJECTS WILL BE PRESENTED DURING THE EXAM BLOCK WRITE A 2 PAGE DOUBLE SPACED PAPER (plus a works cited page) ON AN ARTIST OF YOUR CHOICE FROM A PRIOR CENTURY.. THE ARTIST YOU CHOOSE MUST BE OF A DIFFERENT RACE AND GENDER THAN YOURSELF. THE ARTIST MUST BE APPROVED BY MR. P BEFORE YOU BEGIN. THE ARTIST CAN WORK WITH ANY MEDIUM OF DRAWING OR PAINTING (PASTELS, OILS, ACRYLICS…) AS LONG AS THEY HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO THE ART WORLD IN A SIGNIFICANT WAY. THERE ARE MANY QUALITIES YOU COULD CHOOSE TO FOCUS ON SUCH AS SUBJECT MATTER, SCALE, MEDIUM, COLOR CHOICES/USE OF COLOR, STYLISTIC CHOICES, MEANING/INTENT… ANALIZE WHAT THE ARTIST IS TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH AND HOW THEY DO SO. FOR INSTANCE, WHY DID MONET USE THE COLORS HE DID? THERE ARE VERY SPECIFIC REASONS FOR THIS WHICH WOULD REQUIRE RESEARCH AND UNDERSTANDING OF THE ARTISTS’ WORK. PART TWO OF THIS PROJECT IS TO ALSO CREATE A COLOR IMAGE REPRESENTING THE ARTIST’S WORK. IT SHOULD NOT BE A REPRODUCTION, BUT AN IMAGE THAT UTILIZES STYLISTIC ELEMENTS AND SUBJECT MATTER THAT BEST REPRESENTS THAT ARTIST’S WORK. PRESENTATIONS DURING THE EXAM BLOCK WILL BE BRIEF BUT SHOULD PRESENT TO THE CLASS AS THOUGH NO ONE HAS ANY PRIOR KNOWLEDGE OF THE ARTISTS. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO READ THE PAPER BUT GIVE A WELL THOUGHT THROUGH SYNOPSIS ALONG WITH THE IMAGE. YOU WILL LIKELY BE ASKED SOME BASIC QUESTIONS AS WELL SO MAKE SURE YOU KNOW YOUR TOPIC. THIS PROJECT COUNTS FOR 20% OF YOUR GRADE! PLEASE BE SURE NOT TO PLAGIARIZE IN ANY WAY AS IT WILL RESULT IN A ZERO!! PLEASE DO NOT USE WIKIPEDIA AS IT’S INFORMATION CAN OFTEN BE LESS THAN FACTUAL. WE WILL HAVE TIME TO RESEARCH, SO CHOOSE A SUBJECT YOU CAN HAVE FUN WITH! PRESENTATION 10% ARTWORK 50% PAPER 40%

FOUNDATIONS FINAL PROJECT

MR. PURCELL 5/12 FOUNDATIONS FINAL PROJECT FINAL PROJECTS WILL BE PRESENTED DURING THE EXAM BLOCK. WRITE A 2 PAGE DOUBLE SPACED PAPER ON AN ARTIST OF YOUR CHOICE. THE ARTIST MUST BE APPROVED BY MR. P BEFORE YOU BEGIN. THE ARTIST CAN BE FROM ANY ERA AND WORK WITH ANY MEDIUM AS LONG AS THEY HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO THE ART WORLD IN A SIGNIFICANT WAY. (PLEASE AVOID WRITING A PAPER ABOUT AN UNCLE WHO LIKES TO PAINT ETC…) YOUR PAPER SHOULD EXPLAIN THE ART MOVEMENT(S)/PERIOD THE ARTIST WAS INVOLVED IN, THEIR BACKGROUND/HISTORY AND TRAINING, AND WHAT MAKES THEIR WORK SIGNIFICANT IN THE ART WORLD. DISCUSS WHY YOU CHOSE THIS ARTIST AND FIND OUT ABOUT THEIR CREATIVE PROCESS; WHAT SIZE WAS THEIR WORK, HOW DID THEY GO ABOUT CREATING THEIR WORK, WHAT KIND OF SUBJECTS DID HE OR SHE WORK WITH? INCLUDE A WORKS CITED PAGE. PART TWO IS TO PAINT A 9 X 12 IMAGE THAT DEMONSTRATES THE QUALITIES OF THAT ARTIST’S WORK. THINK ABOUT THEIR COLOR CHOICES, TECHNIQUES THAT THEY EMPLOYED TO CREATE THE WORK, COMPOSITION, SUBJECT MATTER AND PHILOSOPHY. WE ARE NOT DUPLICATING AN EXISTING WORK, BUT CREATING AN ORIGINAL PIECE. OPTION #2 WORK IN A GROUP (STUDENTS AT YOUR CURRENT TABLE ONLY) AND CREATE A “MASHUP” OF ALL YOUR ARTISTS ON A CEILING TILE. THE IMAGE SHOULD MAKE SENSE AS A WHOLE AND DISPLAY THE SAME QUALITIES LISTED IN THE CRITERIA LISTED FOR OPTION #1. EACH STUDENT WILL BE GRADED ON THEIR CONTRIBUTION TO THE TILE. PRESENTATIONS WILL BE BRIEF BUT SHOULD PRESENT TO THE CLASS AS THOUGH NO ONE HAS ANY PRIOR KNOWLEDGE OF THE ARTIST. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO READ THE PAPER BUT GIVE A WELL THOUGHT THROUGH SYNOPSIS ALONG WITH THE IMAGE. (IT WILL BE HELPFUL TO WRITE AN OUTLINE) YOU WILL LIKELY BE ASKED SOME BASIC QUESTIONS AS WELL SO MAKE SURE YOU KNOW YOUR TOPIC. DO NOT USE WIKIPEDIA AND DO NOT PLAGIARISE IN ANY WAY AS IT WILL RESULT IN A ZERO. THIS PROJECT COUNTS FOR 20% OF YOUR GRADE!
