Assignment MISS HILLARY
The topic of Art research: MNFSTO For this the second part of our major Art / Work Research Project you will need to hand in a well-researched creative project on a subject pertaining to labour art. The research component of your project should comprise 4-6 pages of double-spaced word processed material. Not every project will include a written component, of course, but it is very important to be sure that the researched aspect of your work is sufficiently represented. Your project should include the following details:
● A clearly worded thesis, related to some aspect of labour art— see below for some sense of where to begin in terms of choosing a subject. If you are having trouble with how to work this into the creative work you have chosen to do, do not hesitate your professor for insight; for some projects, a brief artists statement will suffice for presenting a thesis.
● Details about who was involved, why they became involvd, when the work,
movement, union, etc. existed— as a general guideline, try to provide as much detail as possible.
● Your project should include statistics, facts, and / or concrete data from valid sources
to support or illustrate your claims.
● Those statistics, facts and data should be analyzed and explained in detail; i.e. what
does a particular stat, law, or fact mean to women? What does it tell us about your topic? How does it relate to women’s work?
● If and where you are providing written material correct and complete APA citations
will be required; if you deliver your details verbally, in some other way where text is not used, then you will need to provide a separate works cited list.
● A creative framework: this might mean working your research material into a video
presentation, a short play, a blog or website, an illustrated essay, a fictionalized account— you are free to choose the creative medium you work with; however, the medium will have to allow for you presenting research. Be sure to provide sufficient
detail of the medium you will work with for your research project in your outline, so your professor can offer suggestions about the presentation of your research.
Tips for the successful completion of this assignment:
● Your report should answer in sufficient detail the questions you have set out in the outline component of this assignment.
● Clearly organize your work in order that your viewer, your community, knows what it is they are looking at.
● Be sure that all relevant terms and concepts used in the project are explained and the information given is contextualized. This will help the person encountering your work to follow you through your presentation.
● Be sure to double-check your work for errors of grammar, spelling, and logic. ● Try to choose a medium that will allow you to present your research in a clear and
detailed fashion. ● Make you work creative and original in your work; marks will be awarded to more
creative works. ● Depending on what it is you are researching, finding valid material beyond that on the
group’s website may be difficult, you should therefore choose a subject that you feel you are able to adequately research.
