Use Your Reading For The Week As A Point Of Departu
This week you will use your reading for the week as a point of departure to create your own artistic production in a reflection paper and narrated PowerPoint. Complete the reading for this week. Select one of the visual art pieces from the chapter to use as inspiration. Create an art piece inspired by your selected art piece. Write a one-page reflection about the relationship between your art production and the inspiration piece. For the reflection, include the inspiration piece's title, artist, year, and place of origin; explain its context and artistic movement; describe your original artwork's methods (excluding computer-generated pieces); provide a title; and explain the narrative and connection to the inspiration. Additionally, create a 5-minute narrated PowerPoint presentation with an introduction, explanation and display of your inspiration piece, description and display of your artwork, and a discussion of the thematic connection between both pieces.
Paper For Above instruction
The assignment requires a comprehensive reflection on the artistic process inspired by a selected visual art piece from a chapter. First, choose an artwork that resonates with you, and then produce a new original art piece inspired by this work, ensuring it is created by traditional means such as paint, watercolor, pencil, crayon, marker, collage, or sculpture—excluding computer-generated work. The reflection paper should contextualize the inspiration piece within its artistic movement, detailing its historical background, artist, and significance. The paper must describe your own artwork, its methods, and thematic links to the inspiration piece, emphasizing the narrative connection. The accompanying PowerPoint presentation should introduce the project, showcase both the inspiration and your artwork, and articulate the thematic relationship, providing a cohesive and engaging overview. The goal is to artistically interpret an existing work and reflect critically on its influence and meaning, fostering a deeper understanding of artistic inspiration and individual expression within the context of art history.
