Friday 2/27 (#308 & #309)-Artist Research Due, no peer review (if you want to go through the peer review process I will give you and your peer time Wednesday in class to look over each others work)
Artist research is in the form of a Mind Map. You should have notes from our classroom discussion over what will be required elements of the mind map.
The first double page spread will be the Artistic Biography section in a mind map format (#308):
brief biographical information, analysis of 3 images from different point in the career or in depth analysis of one body of work, still needs to included 3 images from the body of work, and personal reason for selecting the artist.
All work featured on the artist research mind map must be Architecture. Your analysis needs to included (how the artist uses the elements and principles of art, discuss how the subject matter (architecture) and their approach or changing approach to the imagery, how is the artist using his/her materials to render the images, discuss style or changing style, art movements, artist intent (analysis of interviews and or artist statements). Don't forget to also included a personal voice/reason for selecting this artist.
You will also need to have a 2nd double page spread:
The left side will be your media study based off the artist work. The right side of the page should be your reflection over the media study (process, how the study relates to the artist, what you learned about the artist by making the study, evaluation of your product and state areas for improvement). You will also need to make a works cited section on this page and list all sources used. You should be working from at least 3 sources.
