Written Assignment 1: Illusion of 3D Space

Assignment 1: Illusion of 3D Space
Due: 11/7
Overview:
Artists that are making paintings and drawings often try to create the illusion that the things we are looking at in the painting are really there- and not that we are looking at a flat surface. This means that artists are creating the illusion of 3D space.
There are 4 key ways that artists show the illusion of 3D space on a 2D surface:
· Overlapping shapes. Objects seemingly 'in front' overlap the objects behind them.
· Relative size. Things seemingly further from the viewer are depicted smaller than things closer to the viewer, even if these things are really the same size.
· Position. Things closer to the viewer are depicted lower down on the art work than things further away.
· Color intensity. Things very far away from the viewer lose the intensity of color.
For this assignment, you will construct a landscape from found materials, and through the positioning of objects and your point of view, you will create the illusion of depth in your photograph.
Please follow these instructions:
Step 1. Watch the “Art Assignment” Construct a Landscape: [ [ http://www.theartassignment.com/assignments/constructed-landscapeLinks to an external site.] ]
Step 2. Gather materials in your home or from nature. You can also use food (see student examples attached). Create a small scene using your materials and consider how position and overlapping shapes can create the illusion of depth.
Step 3. Take a photograph of your constructed landscape that depicts the illusion of depth. By taking this photo, you have transitioned this 3D space onto a 2D surface (the photo).
Step 4. Identify 3 of the 4 depth concepts in your photograph. Write a paragraph explaining your process, how you chose your materials, and how you strategized creating the illusion of depth in your landscape and photograph
Step 5. Upload your labeled photograph and/or your photograph and document to the Sakai assignment.

Assignment 2: Proposal and Bibliography
Due Date: 11:59PM 11/7
Points: 100, 10% of semester grade
Overview: This is a short warm-up assignment in which you'll submit a proposal for your Curator Paper, which is due later in the semester. I'll review your Proposal and Bibliography and give you some feedback so we're sure you're on the right track. After I grade your submission you'll write a 2-3 page Curator Paper about the same topic which will due 11/24 and will be worth more of your final grade than this is.
Video Overview: I recorded this video to help explain the assignment: https://youtu.be/vpW3gD_kMW4Links to an external site.
Step 1. Read the description of the assignment below.
Step 2: Review the example format that I've attached.
Step 3. Write and submit your Proposal and Bibliography.
I want you to play the role of a museum curator. A curator is someone who oversees the collection and exhibition of objects in a museum or gallery. Imagine that you have been hired by an art museum to design an exhibition. You are free to choose art objects from any culture or time period.
Your exhibit must have a theme/thesis, and contain at least three real objects or photographs of real objects. Since you are playing the role of a curator, these objects must be portable/possible to exhibit inside of a museum [in other words: you wouldn’t be able to photograph or borrow an object that was destroyed and no evidence of it exists].
This assignment is broken into two parts: a Proposal and Bibliography that is separate from your final Curator Paper. The proposal is a short assignment designed to get you thinking and your Curator Paper. The Curator Paper is a fully finished 1000-word minimum paper due at the end of the semester. Keep scrolling for more information.
Tips:
· Consider what you want your audience will take away from the exhibit you design. Perhaps you’d like to shed light on some aspect of a culture that you find interesting: for example ‘religion,’ or ‘jewelry.’ Or maybe you’re interested in how different cultures explore the same theme such as ‘cats,’ ‘female gods,’ or ‘agriculture.’ You can get creative!
· Looking through the past exhibit lists of other museums might help spark your creativity. However, you must come up with your own original exhibit; you can’t reuse one that already exists!:

· You will need to cite sources in MLA format when discussing the artworks in your exhibit. Therefore, it might be easiest to choose artworks from museum databases such as:

PROPOSAL AND BIBLIOGRAPHY
DUE: 11/6 Before Midnight (12am):
Write a short proposal of your exhibition [75 word minimum] that includes a bibliography of your reference sources in MLA format.
How to write your proposal:
Imagine you’ve been hired as a curator for a museum and you are proposing an exhibition to the board of directors. Your exhibition must have a title, contain at least three artworks, and contain at least three sources used for research and cited in MLA format.
In one paragraph [75 words or more], summarize the thesis of your exhibit. You must explain what you will be showing and why you have chosen to show these objects together.
In addition to your proposal, and in the same document, you will include a bibliography. Your bibliography must contain 3 or more sources and be in MLA format. You can cite the textbook, but if you do so you must find at least three other sources in addition to the textbook.
TIPS:
· Ask a librarian/the writing center for help finding sources and writing a bibliography.
· Choose something you are actually interested in. If you’re really stumped, please email me. I may be able to help you brainstorm.
· Format your proposal based on the example on the next page.
I WILL BE GRADING FOR THE FOLLOWING:
· All writing is coherent.
· Your topic is relevant and clearly stated.
· You have chosen at least three artworks related to this course.
· Sources are scholarly and reliable.
· Bibliography is in MLA format.
· Bibliography contains 3 or more sources besides your textbook.
AN EXAMPLE FORMAT OF A PROPOSAL AND BIBLIOGRAPHY:
Your Name
The Date
The Class You Are Enrolled In
The Title of Your Exhibit
The first sentence will introduce your exhibit. What three pieces will be shown? Include the title, artist, and dates of each. Next explain why you are showing these art objects together. Why did you choose these specific objects and how do you plan to display them together? Finally explain what the audience will learn/take away from your exhibit.
