Foundations Final Presentation

FINAL PROJECTS WILL BE PRESENTED DURING THE EXAM BLOCK.

WRITE (AND TYPE) A 2 PAGE (OR MORE) 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? PLEASE INCLUDE A WORKS CITED PAGE.

IN ADDITION, YOU WILL NEED A FULL COLOR IMAGE OF A PIECE OF ARTWORK THAT REPRESENTS WHAT THIS ARTIST WAS KNOWN FOR.

PRESENTATIONS WILL BE BRIEF BUT PLEASE 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. (INCLUDING KNOWING HOW TO PRONOUNCE YOUR ARTIST'S NAME.)

 DO NOT PLAGIARIZE IN ANY WAY AS IT WILL RESULT IN A ZERO.
BE ACCOUNTABLE AND BE ON TIME! Papers need to be ready to hand in at the time of presentation. Late papers (or emailed papers) will not be accepted.
