Part 1
Most people think that artists have to go through strict formal education and training to know how to create art. In reality, however, humans are creative by nature and many spectacular works of art were created by people with little or no art education and by using simple, every day materials.
By developing new art terms, phrases, and concepts and staying curious about and engaged with what artists are trying to communicate, we are better prepared to appreciate, understand, and participate in art. This assignment will expose you to nontraditional and applied forms of art and the importance of key concepts of art criticism.
Choose a total of TWO (2) examples of nontraditional or applied art from the following links:
A New York art museum
A Paris museum
Select galleries in a Washington, DC museum
Paste small images of BOTH works into a Word document. Include the name of the artist or designer, the title of the art work, the materials used and the year it was created.
Write 2 or 3 paragraphs for EACH work that addresses the following:
How do these works fit the definition for nontraditional or applied works of art?
What is the purpose or function of the art?
Part 2
For part 2 of the assignment, you will create a (1) painting, drawing, or mixed media piece with nontraditional art mediums or common materials found in your own home. Consider the work of Vik Muniz, who painted the Mona Lisa out of peanut butter and jelly or Christine Hiebert, who uses painter's tape to "draw" on the museum walls. Paste a photograph of your completed art piece into the Word document from Part 1. Write a reflection paragraph that shares the following information:
What did it feel like to create?
What materials did you use and why?
What is the title of your creation? Explain why.
What were your overall impressions of the completed piece?
You can insert images into documents by placing the cursor where you want the image to be, going to "Insert," then choosing "Picture," and selecting the picture from your computer. Be sure to scan or photograph your art piece first and upload it to your computer. If using your phone camera, you may be able to e-mail the image to yourself and copy it from e-mail.
Submit 1 Word document for this assignment.
You are required to comply with APA style format for quotations, internal citations, and a reference list. For additional information and resources on APA style, visit the APA section of the Library, which is available under Library Features.
