Research Project


Choose an artwork which you are particularly interested in and prepare a 500 word research report about it.

Your report should be divided into three parts (150-200 words each part):

Part 1: An overview of the artist, the work itself and the art movement.

Part 2: The social context the work was made in. That is, what was happening in history and politics at the time? How did this influence or impact the work?
 

 Part 3: Analysis: what makes the work
 important/significant/valuable 
 and your opinion of it? 
 Your teacher will notify you of draft
  and final due dates.



You need to include APA referencing and a 4-6 source
bibliography in your report.

Principles of Design

I am appreciating reading your creative responses in your portfolios. However, some students would still benefit from extra practice. If you would like extra practice on the principles of design, you may use Hokusai's Great Wave Off Kanagawa or prepare one of your own to lead the class through the principles. Be sure to make copies for everyone.
