– In case you are doing purely a video/animation project, you only need to include 5 images (screenshots or works in progress)

If your piece is an animation/video, or installation that has a video component, then you are required to upload a video on your own youtube or vimeo/dropbox/gdrive/onedrive account and provide a link that your tutors can access.
Please make sure and double check that your video link is accessible by other people. It is really important that you send it to someone to see it and make sure it is working. Otherwise, your submission might not be completed. If you create a password for the video, please include it in the submission as well.
4. Written essay (artist statement) up to 1000 words
An artist statement can include your motivation, inspiration, concept, technical/formal achievements; and your most satisfying moment that you’ve experienced while working on this project.

Write an essay about Money Tree, 1st-2nd century bronze and green glazed eathenware. China, Eastern Han dynasty (25-220 CE). Be very details by your feeling of your eyes
As you look, think, look, reflect, scrutinize, change positions, look again, observe patterns, make connections, let the artwork happen to you. Focus on a small corner; step back and catch it all at one glance.
Associate: allow yourself to be reminded of other objects and visual experiences.
Look: look slowly, thoughtfully, carefully, look at everything. Your focus should be on looking and sketching more than writing notes; one-half page of jotted notes is fine.
Your sketch should be an attempt to view and process your experience with images, not words. It does not need to be beautiful. It does not need to be perfect. It can be many different sketches, taken from different angles, focusing on details, and then zooming out to take in the whole.
3. Develop an argument or interpretation through description.
Develop a visual analysis of the object using concrete terms to describe it (ie. Do not simply say that Buddha’s expression is “peaceful.” A more successful description would say how the Buddha’s expression communicates peace—downcast eyes, mask-like expression, relaxed muscles, subtle smile at the corners of the mouth, etc.)
Having now spent quite a lot of time with the object, what do you think is interesting or confusing about it? Do you find anything particularly beautiful, disturbing, familiar, puzzling, etc. about it?
What is it like to experience the work of art? Is it bigger than you, or smaller? Does it call out to be touched? How does it change when you get close or further away, or to the side, or the back of it? How does the work of art address you?
One way you might think about organizing your description is to look and look and look until something seems weird to you. What stands out? What doesn’t make sense? Write an essay that describes the whole object analytically, but that is structured around an answer to whatever it is that stands out to you.

“Augustus, the first Roman emperor, realized that his portrait image could serve as an important instrument of propaganda. Court sculptors fashioned a prototypical portrait type that was then copied. The copies were dispersed throughout the Roman world so that further copies of them could be made and installed in public places. Through these statues and busts, as well as through coins with the emperor’s image, everyone in the empire was aware of what he looked like and was reminded of his power and authority.” (Thompson, Nancy L.
