ARTS/230 Week 5 Creating Conceptual Art Worksheet

Name:

Date Due:

INSTRUCTIONS:

· Select a work of art that was created between 1870 and 1930 – anywhere in the world – that affects you personally.

· Discuss below how you would transform that image to make a strong personal statement using one of the following contemporary visual arts media: photography, video or computer-based media.

· NOTE TO HELP: Visual artists sometimes create a work based on a past work of art. As an example to help you with this assignment consider that Eduard Manet created Le Dejeuner sur L’herbe (1883) based on Marcantonio Raimondi’s The Judgment of Paris (c. 1588-1530). (See figures 19-25 and 19-24, respectfully in Chapter 19 of A World of Art.) Sometimes the artist’s agenda is political, satirical or imitative, and sometimes the artist chooses this way to challenge established aesthetic values.

PLEASE NOTE: Read each question and the rubric below carefully. You may use first-person (“I”) where appropriate. Minimum 150 words per response unless otherwise indicated. Cite definitions and research from your assigned text, electronic readings or other peer-reviewed sources (see Instructor Policies for guidance):

Questions

Response

Briefly describe the original art work you selected. What media was used, and when was it created? What artistic/aesthetic period (such as Middle Ages or Impressionism) does it represent? Who was the artist? What message do you think he or she intended to communicate?

Which new technology did you select for your version and why? Briefly describe the art work you would create. How is it different and how is it similar to the original?

Briefly describe the media, process and materials you would use to create your new art work. Where should your art work be displayed? Who is your intended audience?

How do you think the message from your art work relates to the message that was intended by the original art work? (Minimum 100 words)
