MUSEUM PROJECT


-->
QCC ART 130 & 131
MUSEUM PROJECT

VISIT A MUSEUM (WITH THE CLASS OR BY YOURSELF) WITH THE FOLLOWING ASSIGNMENT IN MIND:

You are going to choose two works of art that exhibit the concept of NARRATIVE (STORYTELLING) in ART. These should be able to be photographed by you or else be available as postcards or in reproductions, so I can see what you are discussing.

First, describe what they are and what their narrative is about. When were they made and by whom? For what purpose? I am then going to ask you to compare and contrast them. How are they different? They may be the same theme (war) but be very different. How so? And how are they alike? What is the style of each? (One might be painted by an impressionist and one by a realist, for example. If so, they will have different moods and most likely be saying different things.) Does the artist have a particular point of view in each of them? (i.e., war is bad).

If you had to build an art project using the works as inspiration, what would it look like?

Make sure you address each of the above points in your essay and be sure to include examples.
