ADVANCED ART FINAL

FINAL PROJECTS WILL BE PRESENTED DURING THE EXAM BLOCK WRITE A 2 PAGE (OR MORE) DOUBLE SPACED PAPER (plus a works cited page) ON AN ARTIST WHO CREATES IMAGINARY LANDSCAPES IN THEIR WORK. 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 BRING IN A FULL COLOR IMAGE THAT BEST REPRESENTS THAT ARTIST’S WORK. THIS COULD BE FROM A BOOK OR PRINTED IN COLOR FROM THE INTERNET. 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%
