(Enter all Team Member’s Names Here)
Student: Insert your name Photo Slide
Here is where you will post a good quality photo of your chosen work of art so that I may see the work. Please use a photo (without the flash) that you took on the day of your visit to the art gallery. In other words, do not use a photo that you downloaded from the internet or the gallery’s website. Please resize your picture without distorting it to fully maximize this space so I can easily see your chosen work art.
2
Student: Insert your name Identification / Description Slide
Identify your chosen artwork by providing the artist’s name (or anonymous if no artist name provided), the title of the work of art in italics, the year the piece was completed, the medium used, the dimensions of the piece (if available), and the art gallery where your chosen piece is located.
This is the slide to introduce your chosen work of art and artist (if there is any information available on your artist) to your reader. Be sure to provide a general description telling your reader what they are looking at.
Use this slide to provide a description about your chosen work of art by creating a visual image with words. In other words, tell me what is taking place in the work. Be as descriptive as possible without adding any meaning or interpretation just yet. You will be doing that later. Please use complete sentences and write in paragraph form. When talking about your work of art, be sure to put the title in italics.
3
Student: Insert your name Visual Elements and Principles of Design Slide
Here is where you will identify and discuss the Visual Elements and Principles of Design that the artist has utilized within your chosen work of art. See your Chapter 4 and 5 handout for the complete list of Visual Elements and Principles of Design. Make sure to identify the vocabulary by name and fully describe how the artist utilized those visual elements and/or principles of design.
4
Student: Insert your name Analysis Slide
Here is where you will analyze the artist’s intention or their message within the work of art. Also use this slide to explore and discuss the innovation and expression of ideas of the artist. You can scan the gallery’s walls, any literature the gallery has to offer, talk to the gallery assistants, etc. for any information they have about the artist. Also, you can look up information about the artist on the internet.
If the gallery provides what is called an artist’s statement about his or her work, I highly suggest reading that to get a feel for what the artist is up to. Remember to put any ideas you gained from your visit into your own thoughts and words; do not plagiarize the gallery’s information!
If you perform any research beyond your initial gallery visit by looking anything up on the internet or using any other sources, you will need to provide notated research (a works cited slide) to further interpret the background of the artist and the era in which it was created.
5
Student: Insert your name My Interpretation Slide
Here is where you will provide your interpretation of your chosen work of art. Explain the meaning and the interpretation that you come up with, not what the art gallery, the curator, or even the artist has to say about the piece. In other words, why did you choose this piece? What does the piece mean to you? How is it relevant to you? What are you taking way from having experienced this piece?
Also, discuss why you think this piece was created and what are your critical thoughts about the piece. Questions you might want to consider are: Does it have a narrative? Does it deal with any social, political, or religious issues? Are there any emotional feelings present, from the artist’s perspective or that you felt? If so, how are they depicted? Or, is it void of any feeling? If so, how is that depicted?
After considering those questions and any you come up with, I want you to fully explore what does this all mean to me? Use this slide as the opportunity to summarize your reaction to this art object and this piece’s relevance to you.

Student: Insert your name Team Member’s Piece Slide
Copy and paste the “Photo” slide from your chosen team member’s PowerPoint presentation. Make sure to include the following textual information about their piece and include it in on this slide (see student example for what I am talking about):
Title of team member’s piece in italics, the name of the artist, the year it was completed, the medium used, the dimensions of the work, and the art gallery where it was located, which should be the same as yours.
Note: You can change their slide to suit the aesthetic and formatting of your own presentation of you choose.
7
Student: Insert your name Comparison to Team Member’s Piece Slide
Compare your piece with another team member’s gallery review from the same art gallery. Compare and contrast the similarities and differences between your work of art and your team member’s. Discuss what their piece is about, the medium, and their interpretation and compare and contrast that to your own.
*Remember, your assignment is incomplete without a comparison to another team member’s piece!*
8
Student: Insert your name Proof of Attendance Slide
Here is where you would post the mandatory proof of attendance photo. This requires for you to be standing in front of the work of art you will be discussing and taking a selfie, without the flash. If you are not in the photo, you will not receive credit for this assignment. Furthermore, I need to see your face in the photo in order for you to receive credit.
9
Student: Insert your name Works Cited Slide
Here is where you would enter your MLA works cited sources if your review required any research. Remember, this slide is only necessary if you looked up anything beyond what the gallery provided. Also, if you used the gallery information verbatim, you need to cite what you used of theirs so it is not considered plagiarism.

Additional tips and notes (Do not include this slide in the presentation you submit. These are just additional tips and information.)
Remember: Each team member will submit their own slides with the initial cover page slide individually to the dropbox by the due date and time. You do need to work together on this assignment so that you can compare and contrast your pieces for your comparison slide, and so that you do not select the same pieces.
Additional Notes: You can change the font, the font size, the color, the background, etc. to suit your group’s personal preferences. I ask that you keep the information I have on each screen in black so that each slide is clearly labeled when I go to grade your group work. Please contact me with any further questions. Have fun!
