Art 111 presentation assignment: Due by Friday October 4 before 8 AM

Purpose:

 Students will demonstrate an understanding of the basic connections between art


structures and functions with medium techniques and procedures.

 Students will demonstrate an understanding of interpreting artworks through meaning,


cultural, and historical references.

 Students will make personal connections to visual art mediums and themes.

 Students will demonstrate the ability to apply knowledge from the course to find their
own artistic preferences through styles and specific artist’s works.

Requirements:

 10 SLIDES, 20 SECONDS EA. 3:20 minutes


Discuss each slide for 20 seconds. You may choose one or two “focus images” that
appear more than once in the presentation. Use this
website: https://www.pechakucha.com/

 This is not a strict biography but do include pertinent information about the artist. To
build this component, do not simply visit the artist’s Wikipedia page.

 Situate the artist’s work. Make some larger argument about how to view this artist are
artwork in theoretical or historical terms. Why is their work significant, and under what
conditions has it come to be this way? What questions does the artist’s work raise?

 Do many drafts. Determine how you read best: from cue cards, from a strict script, etc.

 Avoid the phrase “I didn’t know that [insert fact here].” Instead, activate your
observations—tell us what they mean for your research process, for your practice, or
(be ambitious!) for art history/history/contemporary art.

 Place your observations in the context of your own interests. Draw from the
constellation of your own emerging ideas and actively mix this with your research
material—Make it textured and interesting. In short, I want to hear your opinion.

Description

either on the artwork or on the style the artist traditionally works.
