Reflective Analysis 1 focuses on themes in art and finding meaning in what we see in artwork by artists that you find engaging.
This assignment consists of multiple parts: a brief biography of an artist of your choosing as well as how you made your choice, your subjective response to an artwork by the same artist, thematic consideration of the selected artwork, and finally, a bibliography documenting your source materials.
Process:
- Begin by choosing one of the themes from this week’s lecture and/or reading that interests you one that you’d like to explore further.
- Identify an artist that interests you from among the readings we’ve completed, the links provided or an artist that you are already familiar with that fits into the theme that interests you.
- Find an artwork by that artist which you’d like to reflect on.
Then, you will provide details based on your research and answer some reflective questions in the following order which should include all of the following sections in essay form:
1. Artist (15 points): This portion should be comprised of information about the artist of your choice as well as why you selected them. Begin with: Who is the artist? Why did you choose the artist what is generally interesting to you about it? Additional suggestions for material: date and place of birth and death, family information, lifetime accomplishments, famous art pieces, effects or impact on society, or historical significance.
* Length: At least 250 words, no more than 350 words.
2. Artwork (15 points): This portion should be your own subjective response to a work of art by the same artist you selected. Why did you choose the artwork what is generally interesting to you about it? What was your initial, subjective interpretation of the artwork? Did it change as you found out more about the context of the artwork? What emotions, concepts, or ideas did it provoke in you? Do not simply describe the work or state whether or not you “like” the work; but rather, elaborate with specific details from the work that illustrate your response.
* Include the title of the work (in italics) and a picture of the artwork
* Length: At least 250 words, no more than 350 words.
3. Theme (15 points): Which theme(s) that we have learned about can you associate with the artwork (the same you selected above)? Remember, an artwork is never about one thing. Reflect in detail how and why the artwork is a good example of the theme(s). Are there broader social, cultural or political messages conveyed by the artwork?
* Length: At least 250 words, no more than 350 words.
4. Bibliography (15 points): You must provide a bibliography in one of the formal the correct citation styles that includes at least 3 sources. Online sources are ok, but at least one source must be a book/journal/periodical/catalog and must be in addition to your textbook, and remember, Wikipedia doesn’t count. You are encouraged to research the artwork at by searching through books and articles, written by scholars in the field of art and art history. Check out and ask a librarian or tutor for help.
Notes:
*You should begin working on your assignment as soon as it is introduced and saving it as a MS Word document on your computer. Prior to and no later than the noted due date and time in the course schedule you will submit your work as instructed. You are strongly encouraged not to wait until the last day / hours / minutes to submit your work to avoid any last-minute technical issues.
*Be sure to use correct spelling and grammar throughout your essay. This will be reviewed, and deductions taken for errors.
*All written assignments must be in your own words, in their entirety and including your research on your selected artist. Plagiarism is a form of academic dishonesty and is strictly prohibited. Note, all assignments are run through a digital plagiarism tool, which generates reports of all portions of the assignment that are not in your own words. These reports will be utilized in determining the accuracy of your assignments.
* You must submit your work in Brightspace so that it can be run through TurnItIn which will scan your essay for plagiarism.
* Absolutely no writing assignments will be accepted via email.
*If you are repeating this course, you cannot use assignments submitted previously (even if you had a different instructor) or write about the same artist or artwork. Doing so will result in a zero for the assignment as this will be checked.
