The Roles of the Artist For this assignment must select four works of art from this new interactive website from the Museum of Fine Arts Houston containing over 7,000 items. Scroll down to see the images: https://artsandculture.google.com/partner/the-museum-of-fine-arts-houston?hl=en (Links to an external site.) The items are in the collection of the Museum of Fine Arts and can be organized by time, popularity, or color. Important: if using an online image, you must include the URL link to that image. Be sure the images you plan to use is from the collection of the Museum of Fine Arts Houston. The Four Roles of the Artist 1. Artists make a visual record of the people, places, and events of their time and place. 2. Artists help us (you!) to see the world in new or innovative ways. 3. Artists make functional objects and structures more pleasurable and elevate them or imbue them with meaning. 4. Artists give form to the immaterial—hidden or universal truths, spiritual forces, personal feelings. Write about the four roles of the artist you have learned about. Select a work/object that you feel strongly about for each of the four roles (you will be writing about a total of four different artworks). Take notes as you view each artwork to help you organize your thoughts and to serve as prompts when you write your paper. Stay on topic–you should not be writing about the history of the Renaissance or a biography of the artist! Stick to the four roles of the artist. Use your own words and the vocabulary of art you are learning in class. There should be no need to use footnotes or bibliography. Use your own eyes, not someone else’s. This paper will be submitted using Turnitin, so don’t plagiarize. I am interested in reading your story! · Write about the four roles in the order they appear above. Do not use the same artwork more than once. · Make it clear in the first part of each paragraph what role of the artist you are writing about. For example: “The first role of the artist is to make a visual record of the people, places and events of their time and place. An artwork that demonstrates this role is…” · Identify each artwork by title, artist, date and medium. Use italics or quotation marks for titles of all artworks! · Using your own words, provide a general description of the artwork. What are we supposed to be looking at? Assume the reader has not seen it. · Using your own words, discuss the content of the work (what you think it means) and how the artwork fits in that particular category of role of the artist. Whenever possible, provide evidence you seen in the work to support your analysis. · Discuss why you feel strongly about the artwork—what is it about the work that attracted your attention. Make it personal! · Be sure to connect the artwork to the specific role of the artist when you discuss it in your paper. · Include an introductory paragraph that outlines the purpose of the paper and introduces the roles of the artist. Finish with a concluding paragraph that summarizes what you have written. Along with the four paragraphs covering the four roles of artists, you should have a total of six paragraphs in your paper. · As an aid for looking at and thinking about art, consider referring to the four steps of art criticism as a general guide. The four steps of art criticism can be found as a module in this course. However, you are not expected to be knowledgeable of the elements of art (description) and principles of design (analysis) since we have not yet covered them in the course. By following these guidelines, you will write a successful paper! For example: *You select a different artwork for each role of the artist. Role #1: Artwork A Role #2: Artwork B Role #3: Artwork C Role #4: Artwork D Total of four different artworks, each focused on one specific role. Rather than randomly selecting artworks, in order to achieve the best results you should select an artwork that you feel especially fits a particular role. So, you may need to spend a little time researching images from the link I sent you. Remember, the artwork needs to be from the Museum of Fine Arts Houston collection or from your textbook. You must include the URL MFAH website) or the image number (textbook) It will be indicated on every artwork.
Write a commentary on a tend about adhd.
Discuss these portrayals, keeping in mind that Foner might be a bit more difficult to interpret because his version is presented in a bit more subtle (but no less biased) manner, while Zinn is not keeping any secrets regarding the motives and actions of Columbus, his men and other Europeans. The questions that historians, and with the Columbus issue, cultural activists and critics, have been considering include the following: 2) Compare Columbus’s log entries with Las Casas’s journal entries. a. Identify differences and similarities (e.g., how each describes the Arawaks). b. Identify topics the other did not discuss. c. What accounts for the differences? the similarities (their goals, their job functions, their status in relation to the other Spaniards)? 3) What sources are the textbook authors using? Pay special attention to Zinn’s sources; they give his history a certain credibility on this topic. 4) If communities share common interests, did Columbus and Las Casas belong to the same community? If so, what are their common interests? (What was Columbus in the Caribbean for? Las Casas?) If not, what interests separate them into different communities? Did Las Casas have more in common with the Arawaks than he did with Columbus?
Introduction: Frame your essay: offer a brief preview of your topic and purpose. Include the title, author(s), date published/aired, where it appeared, and any other basic introductory information the audience may need to understand the work before reading the analysis. Consider opening with an interesting hook. Also offer a clear thesis. Since this is an expository investigation of the means of persuasion of your artifact and not a persuasive essay, your thesis should be a focused sentence that states your purpose of examining the artifact for overall rhetorical effectiveness. Content: Frame your artifact. Describe pertinent elements of the artifact that will help the audience see/know it sufficiently as your analysis unfolds. Demonstrate your knowledge of visual literacy and descriptive language as we discussed in class (elements and principles of art/design). A good place to start is by answering the basic “5 W’s.” Include a description of main people/figures, the scene, space, words, and other composition elements that make-up the artifact. Help the audience see and experience the artifact in a concise paragraph (or two if necessary). You can emphasize details of content as you develop the essay. Purpose: What is the subject being discussed? Is it controversial? What is the main point or thesis of the argument? What is the overarching message? What can you SEE the author might be SAYING through the elements of design in this image? What is the author attempting to do with his/her work? Motivate? Inform? Ridicule? Amuse? Anger? Sadden? Does this purpose shift or change? How do you know this? Provide evidence to support your claims and interpretations. You may want to include appeals to logos here. Audience: Who is the artifact for? Consider the demographic information of the audience that we discussed in class (see essay slide show part 2) What is their knowledge of the topic? Are they likely to dis/agree with the author? Does the author appeal to certain values that the audience may hold? If so, what are those values? What emotional appeals are being made to influence the audience? Include a discussion of appeals to pathos here. Context: Are any references made to social, political or historical situations or contexts outside of the artifact? What does the audience need to keep in mind about the moment in time (historically, culturally, and socially) in which the artifact emerged? Does the artifact bring up personal associations? What experiences from your own life are evoked by the image? Situation/Occasion: What type of text/event is this? What are the circumstances of the environment where the communication takes place? Does the author or audience control the environment? Persona: Persona is a type of mask, character, or social role the speaker/producer wears. What role does the author adopt? These are exhaustive, but some common persona archetypes are: teacher, preacher, reporter, prophet, mediator, protector, martyr, parent, coach, informant, whistleblower, imposter, opponent, buffoon. Consider our discussion on social roles and archetypes as possibilities for the question of persona. Author: In addition to the persona the author adopts, make sure to discuss more literal information regarding the author/producer/speaker. Who is the author? What do you know about the author(s)? The persona developed in the artifact may be quite different from what we regularly know of the author. Include your discussion on ethos here (credibility, trustworthiness, character as it relates to ethics not mask, competence, conviction, energy, etc.). Tone: How does the author express his attitude about his argument? How does s/he feel about the subject? Detached, emotional, satirical? Does s/he use humor or sarcasm? Over- or understatement? How does s/he feel about the audience? Allied and supportive? Superior and condescending? Intimate? Distanced? How do you know this? Point to direct evidence from the text to support your interpretation. Include a discussion of ethos here under persona/tone. Evidence: What evidence, facts or statistics are used to support the argument, message, and/or main ideas of the artifact? Other forms of evidence include personal experience, stories and narratives, case studies, analogies, scientific data and studies, other authors/producers, etc. Structure: (How ideas are arranged and organized): What pattern or structure is used? Chronology? Cause and effect? Problem-solution? Spatial design? Broad? Specific? Structured? Free-form? Outlined? Is it coherent? Fragmented? Clear? Complex? Strategies (How ideas are developed): Consider the use of language. Narration or storytelling, description, comparisons, examples, metaphors. Does the author use denotative or connotative definitions? Declarations? Questions? Exclamations? Jargon? In/Formality? Slang? Quotations? Repetition? Vivid images? Do you see a visual metaphor at work? How might the arrangement, content, and symbolism of a visual text provide a metaphor that accesses a larger meaning, a different cognitive model or concept, or a new way of looking at the world? Appeals: The classic rhetorical appeals can be discussed in this section, or in earlier sections (See: Purpose, Audience, Persona/Tone, Evidence, Structure). Effectiveness (Conclusion): In your opinion, has the author accomplished her purpose? How do you come to this determination? In your conclusion, when making your final determination on effectiveness, make sure to summarize and review the key highlights of your analysis.
