Artist Video Project
You will be making a video presentation, so a slide presentation with your voice over it. Pick an artist you are interested in from any time period, working in any medium, except, as in DO NOT PICK Frida Kahlo, Diego Riviera, Pablo Picasso, Van Gogh, Michelangelo, Leonardo Da Vinci, Bob Ross, Andy Warhol and Salvador Dali. (Sorry these artists are too familiar.
VISUAL artist. Research that artist and address ALL of these prompts:
the history of their life,
events happening at the time they live or lived and were working,
other art movements happening at the same time they were working,
their theories on art,
what if any art movement they belong or belonged to,
a summary of their body of work- did they pioneer a new direction in their medium,
what were the main elements and principles of design they tend or tended to use,
what of the 6 functions does their art employ,
what art criticism have they received (which of the theories are applied to their work) and do you agree or disagree with that assessment, does the artist?
You’ll have to read not only about the artist, but articles written about their work (from art magazines for example, books written) and research the time period in which they were working. If you choose a director you have to speak about their work in terms of film, shot length, close ups, lighting, color, all the elements apply to film too. Read about film critique for more info. Remember to cite resources correctly and use your own words.
Write a script for you to use for your presentation. Then you will record your presentation (screen and/or you) using Studio and upload it to this discussion. (Instructions below).
Your notes (expanded upon) and thoughts for the presentation should be written clearly, so you can use it as a script. (FYI to be sure you have enough information prepared for the oral presentation you will record= 500-600 words is the approximate equivalent of a 5-6 minute speech), create a powerpoint (or equivalent) presentation (include key points, images of work, the artist, other artist’s work going on at that time, etc) and present it to the class.
Plan on approximately a 5-6 minute presentation ONLY. Be concise!
**After uploading your own video, View classmates videos so you can learn about even more artists. Respond to 2 other presentations within 1 day of the due date.
Pay attention to the Due Date!
