1. Read and the attached inspirations
2. Select one of the visual art pieces from the inspiration to use as a point of inspiration
3. Observe my attached, original piece of art inspired by the one you selected from the inspirations. By 'inspiration', we mean a point of departure.
4. In Word, write a reflection on the relationship between your work and your inspiration piece. It should cover discussion of:
· the historical context/goals/hallmarks of the artistic movement your inspiration piece was part of (in your own words)
· your own artwork and how you went about the conceptual and physical creation of it
· the Formal Connections between your work and the inspiration piece (think back to our discussion on the differences between form and content – form is the Elements of Art discussed in WK4). If you do not see any connection in Form, discuss how your work is different in Form than your inspiration.
· the Thematic Connections (theme = content/what the art is about) between your work and the inspiration piece (think back to our discussion on the differences between form and content). If you do not see any connection in Content, discuss how your work is different in Content than your inspiration.
· ***the writing you do in this reflection will be the basis for info in the PowerPoint Presentation.
Part 2: Create a narrated PowerPoint presentation (as outlined below). If you have never narrated a presentation before, I’ve included a guide for you look at. Go to FILES>INTRO TO HUMANITIES and open the file titled ‘6 How to Narrate a PowerPoint’.
5. Upload your written Reflection and PowerPoint Presentation into the assignment page for grading.
Powerpoint Presentations should follow the format below:
Slide one
- Inspiration:
· narration should include introducing yourself and the basic info on the inspiration piece, title, artist, year, place of origin
· slide visuals should include a large image of inspiration piece, & small text on the title, artist, medium, and year created
Slide two
- Context:
· narration should include broad discussion of historical context/goals/hallmarks of the artistic movement your inspiration piece was part of (in your own words)
· slide visuals should include bullet points with very brief phrases (not full sentences or paragraphs) that outline your narration on the slide & possibly (but not necessary) another image demonstrating the broader historical style that artist was working within
Slide three
- Original Work:
· narration should include the title and medium used for the work you created in response to the inspiration piece
· slide visuals should include a large image of the original work you created in response to the inspiration piece and small text listing the title and medium you used
Slide four
- Formal Connections:
· narration should include discussion (in your own words) of the Formal Connections (think back to our discussion on form and content…on this slide you will talk about form:) between your work and that of your inspiration. If you do not see any connection in Form, discuss how your work is different in Form than your inspiration.
· slide visuals should include bullet points of very brief phrases that outline your narration and, if you like, smaller detail images of your work and/or your inspiration in demonstrating your comparison visually.
Slide five
- Thematic Connections:
· narration should include discussion (in your own words) of the Thematic Connections (think back to our discussion on form and content…on this slide you discuss content:) between your work and that of your inspiration. If you do not see any connection in Content, discuss how your work is different in Content than your inspiration.
· slide visuals should include bullet points of very brief phrases that outline your narration and, if you like, smaller detail images of your work and/or your inspiration in demonstrating your comparison visually.
