Grade 11 Visual Art—Research Project
Ms. Mac
“Every work of art must express something.”
Rudolf Arnheim, A Psychology of the Creative Mind.
“Thinking and talking about works of art, in specific terms, is applying philosophy and is called art criticism.”
Steve Elliot, Art is Like a Bowl of Fruit: Aesthetics and Art Criticism
Choose two movements from the historical art eras that have been discussed in class. Choose eras that inspire you. Research, compare and contrast these movements and write a four-five page paper. You must write about at least two of each movement’s major players and include two works from each artist.
Please consult with me regarding your choice before undertaking this task.
▪ Two movements, two artists from each movement and at two works by each artist must be represented. (include photo reproduction please)
▪ Include a bibliography (including Websites or books or periodicals)
▪ Include an introduction and a conclusion.
When we discuss a work of art, we start with simple questions.
What do we see? (perception)
What do we think? (conception)
This is the beginning of critique (making sense of what we see)
Consider these categories when discussing the works:
1. social/cultural/historical contexts what was going on in the world/country/community at the time this work was made.
2. meaning and interpretation what were the artists intending to communicate?
3. formal analysis: predominant style of art-making during the period.
4. technical aspects and processes: development of new materials, industrialization.
5. themes inherent in the work
6. other artists whose work coincides with this artist’s work/ explores similar themes.
Evaluation will be based on quality of written assignment, thoroughness of research and ability to communicate important aspects of your chosen movements.
Papers will be handed in via TURN IT .
