Write a caption for every Image you uploaded to your museum. You will have 3 rooms, and each room will have 4-5 images. This means that you will write captions for 12-15 images. Use the process for entering captions that you learned in Group Discussion 2 and in these Instructions for Using Adobe Express. Please note: You will have the opportunity to revise and improve your captions until you submit the finished version of your online museum at the end of the semester. Write an exit message for your museum. Please refer to the student examples to get an idea of what you need to write. Post a Share Link. After you set up all three rooms in your museum (explained above), you will post a share link to your museum in the first “reply” box you see below this page. Instructions for how to make a share link are found in Step 8 of these Instructions for Using Adobe Express. Title. At the top of each caption, use the heading tool to enter the name of the artist, the name of the work of art, and the year it was created. Content. Somewhere in the caption, address the content in the work. What does the work mean? What is the artist saying? If relevant in the work, discuss the iconography. Formal Analysis. Describe and discuss the work in terms of its form, namely the composition of the work and/or how it was made. Focus on the most evident visual elements and/or design principles the artist used and how they help convey the content or meaning in the work. You can also discuss how the artist used the materials to create the work. You won’t have enough space in each caption for a thorough formal analysis, so be selective and focus on what is most evident and important. Contextual/Expressive Analysis. Include some background information about the work of art, such as what inspired the artist to make it, what was happening in their life, what was happening in their society or culture, and who it was made for. Provide information about any specific events or issues that provide context for the work.

Assignment: Personal Aesthetic discussion
As the course comes to a close, and you’ve learned how to analyze and write about art, it’s time to think about your personal definition of art
Learning Objective of this assignment
Identify your personal definition of art and the work of art that best represents that definition.
Task 1: articulate your aesthetic
What is your aesthetic? Aesthetic is a set of principles underlying and guiding the work of a particular artist or artistic movement or work of art.
Articulate your personal definition of art, or your aesthetic. While there is no right or wrong answer here, keep in mind that you need to support your definition and, ideally, relate it to what you’ve learned in this course. Think back to the Roles of the Artist from Chapter 1. How do any of those roles influence your personal aesthetic?
Task 2: Find an image that represents your aesthetic
Include an image that best represents your “new” aesthetic. Embed the image and label it with artist, title, media, date and image source. How has your aesthetic changed since you submitted your “Creative Life” in your Icebreaker assignment?
Task 3: Write a short paragraph on your “take-aways” from the course.
How has your perception and understanding of Art changed since the beginning of the course? What are some things in this course of Art Appreciation that stand out to you? Have you come to appreciate some art that you may not previously have?

Part A: In this first portion of the assignment you are asked to analyze the iconography of the artworks listed below. Defined in the textbook, iconography is an understanding of the subject matter and symbols of an artwork (Stokstad and Cothern, 2017, pg. 7). Based on your understanding of the cultures and time periods you have encountered over the past 4 lessons of textbook readings, analyze the following artworks in terms of their iconography.
1. Adam and Eve, Albrecht Dürer, 1504. Engraving. Located on page 357 of the textbook.
2. The Founding of Tenochtitlan page from the Codex Mendoza, Aztec, 1545 CE. Located on page 411 of the textbook.
3. The Crowned Head of a Yoruba Ruler, Nigeria, c. 12th-15th century. Located on page 432 of the textbook.
4. Tar Beach, Faith Ringgold, 1988. Acrylic on canvas, and pieced cloth. Located on page 581 of the textbook.
Part B: Compare and contrast the function of the above works. Focus your analysis on how each artwork functioned spiritually and/or politically in their original context. Your discussion should include the importance of the artwork at the time of its creation for the viewer at that time. For instance, you could address issues such as, was the artwork used as a visual teaching of a concept, was it used as an historical record to document an event? Compare and contrast the function of the four artworks and distinguish the connections that can be made, pointing out patterns you find.
Conclude your essay with a short discussion on the use of symbols in the 21st century to communicate, applying what you learned regarding the use of symbolic imagery throughout the centuries of art studied in the past 4 weeks. (Think of advertising logos or emojis etc. when considering 21st century examples.)

Directions: Unless otherwise stated, answer in complete sentences, and be sure to use correct English, spelling, and grammar. Sources must be cited in APA format. Your response should be four (4) pages in length;
Part A: Briefly define art history as an academic field based on your understanding of the readings in the textbook Introduction. Next, discuss two of the natural and human threats to artworks that concern contemporary art historians. Provide specific examples of threats, the artworks involved, and how these threats affect the interpretation of the works by art historians. Your discussion should be based on the information in the textbook Introduction and throughout the textbook and lecture readings of the first four (4) lessons.
Part B: Explain the construction of megalithic architecture and dome building, tracing its history from pre-historic art to the Renaissance. Begin your discussion describing the architectural innovations of the tomb in Newgrange, Ireland and connect these innovations with subsequent examples of the tholos tombs in Greece, to the Pantheon in Rome, and conclude with the Florence Cathedral. Your discussion should include a definition of terms you use as defined in the textbook readings and demonstrate an understanding of the connections these buildings have in common.
Works of architecture to include in your Part B discussion:
1. Tomb, Newgrange, Ireland. c. 3000-2500 BCE. Located on page 29 in the textbook.
2. Interior of tholos tomb, Mycenae, Greece. c. 1300-1200 BCE. Located on page 100 in the textbook.
3. Pantheon, Rome. 110-128 CE. Located on page 149 in the textbook.
4. Filippo Brunelleschi, Dome of Florence Cathedral. 1420-1436 CE. Located on page 308 of the textbook.

Part 1: Watch the Videos (You must watch all three)
Nick Cave: Nick Cave Brings Art, Sculpture to Life, 2016. (5:22 Min)
Nick Cave creates “Soundsuits”—surreally majestic objects blending fashion and sculpture—that originated as metaphorical suits of armor in response to the Rodney King beatings and have evolved into vehicles for empowerment. Fully concealing the body, the “Soundsuits” serve as an alien second skin that obscures race, gender, and class, allowing viewers to look without bias towards the wearer’s identity. Cave regularly performs in the sculptures himself, dancing either before the public or for the camera, activating their full potential as costume, musical instrument, and living icon. Cave’s sculptures also include non-figurative assemblages, intricate accumulations of found objects that project out from the wall, and installations enveloping entire rooms.
Tanya Aguiñiga, Borderlands, 2020. (17:25 Min)
The binational artist Tanya Aguiñiga pushes the power of art to transform the United States-Mexico border from a site of trauma to a creative space for personal healing and collective expression. Reflecting the cultural hybridity and community of the U.S.-Mexico borderlands, the artist discusses her upbringing in Tijuana, her training as a furniture and craft designer, and her artistic beginnings with the Border Art Workshop/Taller de Arte Fronterizo collective.
Michael ArcegaSPAM/MAPS (Links to an external site.): World (Detail), Spam luncheon meat and pins, 3′ x 4′ x 2″, 2001
Food as a symbolic material that speaks to cultural exchange, in this case as a result of World War II. SPAM, if you aren’t already aware, is a loved/hated canned meat consumed by hungry people all over the world. It’s also “MAPS” spelled backwards. San Francisco-based artist Michael Arcega used SPAM in MAPS form, showing how the “Diasporic nature is symbolic of America’s ongoing influence on many nations.”
Prompt Guidelines:
Written Analysis – Essay Format:
(Worth 30 points)
After you watch the videos, in your written analysis, address the art and artists featured in each video in an essay:
How do each of these artist relate to the idea of Visual Culture?
Did work work of these artist challenge your expectations of the creation and function of art? Give specific examples form the videos.
Can you relate to each of their experiences? If not, why do you think that is? Explain your answers.
How does the art made by each of these artists specifically generate emotions related to pleasure, power, and fantasy.
How does the work of Tanya Aguiñiga relate to humanity and nature, the theme of Chapter 13?
How does the work of Micheal Arcega, relate to the term “Visual Culture?”
Where does this art belong? Think about it for a second. You can literally watch this videos almost anywhere in the world with internet access and experience the power, creativity, and grace of the artists. Sure you can put the remnants of their art pieces within the walls of a museum, but is that the best place for it?

Drawing Assignment #4 introduces the element of texture. The medium/techniques of ink pen will be used to explore a wide range of mark-making methods. You will choose one of several images of collaged rocks as the basis for your drawing. Students will read the instructions and review the examples shown in the attached jpg.
Materials Needed
One sheet of 18″ x 24″ White Drawing Paper
Choose one 8″ square b/w prep collage to base the 16″ drawing assignment on (provided in attached jpg)
Drawing Board
Two Black Rollerball Pens – There are several types of pens I suggested on your syllabus supply list. These are called “rollerball”-type pens. Choose any of the following brands – Pilot-precise, Sanford Uni-Ball, Staedtler, or Sharpie metal tip, etc. Choose any of the following tip sizes – fine, extra fine, super fine, or micro.) Do not use “felt tip” pens or thick broad felt tip markers.
18″ Ruler
#2 pencil and white plastic/kneaded eraser
Instructions
8 “Square B/W Prep Collage (not to be turned in, for reference only)Download Rock Texture Prep Collage Examples JPG for assistance:RockTexturePrepCollageExamples.jpg
In the Rock Texture Prep Collage Examples JPG, there are four examples of 8″ square b/w prep collages.Choose one to create your 16″-square drawing.
If you zoom in or look closely, you will notice that each collage comprises at least three rectangular segments with shifted views of rock formations.
The 4th collage has a 1″ grid overlay. This can be used to enlarge the collage to the 16″ format.On your 16″ square, you would overlay a 2″ grid.
Do this in light pencil so the grid can be erased later.
This is an optional method for enlarging the 8″ collage image to your larger 16″ square drawing.
If you don’t want to use the grid, you can freehand a drawing of the collage to the larger size.
Moving Forward from the B/W Prep Collage to the 16″ Square Rock Texture DrawingReview the Rock Texture Prep Collage JPG and download the Assignment 04 Student Examples PDF for assistance:Assignment04StudentExamples.pdf
About the Assignment 04 Student Examples PDF: This PDF provides four examples of previous student drawings. One is not complete, and one uses circle shapes for the segments. Do not copy these for your drawing, I am only providing these so you can see the kinds of marks that can be used to simulate textures and value range (hatch, crosshatch, gestural marks, and dot patterns.)
Draw the image, from the chosen b/w prep collage, onto the 18″ x 24″ white paper. The drawing is to be done within a centered 16″ square format. Using a #2 pencil, make the lines light so they can be erased later. It is unnecessary to draw all details, just the rocks’ main contour shapes, so you know where to put the pen marks for texture and value range (shadows and highlights.)
You may want to print out a photocopy of the 8” b/w prep collage you choose to copy from. Lastly, if you’re going to make your own collage by printing downloaded images of “rock textures” from the internet, be sure you make the collage 8″ square and have a minimum of three segments that make up the whole composition.

For the exercises focused on the elements of pattern/repetition, you will follow the instructions below.
Exercises #9 & #10 will introduce you to the basics of layered color mark-making techniques to create an abstract diptych drawing based on a grid composition. See the Ex 09 and 10 Layout Instructions PDF below.
Materials Needed
One sheet of 18″ x 24″ white drawing paper
Drawing board
Color felt tip and/or Rollerball pens (get a minimum of five different colors plus black) – There are several types of pens I suggested on your syllabus supply list (Michaels and Costco sell inexpensive sets.) Choose any of the following, or comparable, brands – Pilot-precise, Sanford Uni-Ball, Staedtler, or Sharpie metal or felt tip, etc. Choose any of the following tip sizes – fine, extra fine, super fine, or micro.) You can buy single pens or a set.
18″ metal, wood, or plastic ruler
#2 pencil and white plastic/kneaded eraser
Instructions
Download the Ex 09 and 10 Layout Instructions PDF: Ex09and10LayoutInstructions.pdf
Remove one sheet of 18″ x 24″ paper from your White Drawing Paper pad.Be careful not to tear the paper unevenly as you remove it from the pad.
The sheets are attached to the pads with an adhesive or spiral binding that can make it difficult to pull the sheets off cleanly. I remove the sheet slowly and carefully from the binding.
For Exercise #9 and Exercise #10, follow the instructions and examples provided in the PDF’s. Complete both exercises on one sheet of 18″ x 24″ white paper.For Exercise #9 Layered Color Marks, create a 4″ x 6″ rectangle with a 2″ grid. Copy the example in the PDF of layered and repeated patterns of color marks over each other in the six 2″ squares of the grid. This process of layering will produce different secondary and tertiary colors.
For Exercise #10 Grid Abstract Prep Study, create a 5″ x 10″ diptych with a 1″ grid and center dividing line. The grid and center dividing line of the diptych can be literally drawn or implied by the patterned squares’ edges. The prep study can be done in a relatively loose and sketchy manner. It will be enlarged for the final assignment. At that time, you will be free to make changes in color, patterns, and shapes. Allow yourself to improvise and work intuitively. Remember to indicate two parts in the diptych structure by creating a central line of division.
Use a ruler and #2 pencil to layout both exercises on a single sheet of white paper.
Place or arrange both exercises anywhere on the same 18″ x 24″ sheet of white paper.
How to Photograph Your Artwork for Submission
It’s important to remember that the only way I can assess your artwork is through the photograph that you submit. Please use the following guidelines for photographing your artwork.
Subdued daylight (overcast morning light/noontime shade) works best.
When shooting indoors, point spotlights at the drawing from both sides (daylight-balanced LED bulbs are best.) Position lights so they are pointed down towards the drawing, so glare is reduced.
Place the artwork in the center of your white surface: approximately 24” x36” (or larger) whitemat board, poster board, or paper. There should be a minimum of a 1-inch border of white around the artwork.
Be sure to point the camera lens straight at the center of the artwork to avoid keystoning. Keystoning is when the picture’s top or bottom half is wider than it should be. See the following link for more information.
