Research Assignment

We had a request to have the specifics of the research assignment for the 1000 class posted to this blog, so here it is.  It will appear in the list of what we've done, and I hope to set up a link directly to it from the list at the top of the right column.

Research Assignment

Each student is responsible for researching a particular movement in western art, the topics to be chosen by a method listed in the assignment sheet.  A written report will be produced containing the following information:

*The names of three prominent artists from this group (painters, sculptors, architects, printmakers, photographers, or whatever is significant to that group)

*For one work by each artist you will follow the Feldman criticism method we are using for the museum assignment.  (description, analysis, meaning, and judgement)  Although you may expand beyond it, your analysis should include the answers to these questions for the whole artistic movement:

   1) What were/are the goals of this art?
   2) How is the art of this period different from that which 
       proceeded it in its society?
   3) How does this art reflect its society?

The written report must be typewritten or computer printed, and should be a minimum of two pages.  You must cite bibliographic sources.  Books are generally more reliable than the internet for research, but under the current circumstances, use whatever you must.  

These are websites that may have some relevant information, including lists of artists and artworks that are parts of various movements, but you are not limited to these:
