Done as a Powerpoint presentation, you will select 5 works of art using ONLY the resources below: 1 of each of the following mediums: A Drawing, A Painting, Photography, A Sculpture, Graphic Arts/Graffiti/Symbols.
Be sure to cite each image appropriately with: artists name, title of work (in italics) date created, medium, and source (full web address where image was found.)
Resource links to be used:
- moma.org
- metmuseum.org
- getty.edu
- google.com/culturalinstitute/project/art-project
- civa.org (Christians in the Visual Arts)
Two of the images you select should be from either a Christian artist or should contain Christian themes. Examples of such images can be found on this website: http://civa.org/exhibits/traveling-exhibits/
In list format, make 7 observations for each image on your slides that exemplify various principles and elements of design. You should cite any vocabulary terms, genres and art movements it may belong to (specific media, color harmony, etc.) Make your identifications concise and in list format, but be sure you consider not just WHAT, but HOW and WHY the element is used but more information is used.
