For this assignment, you will explore and analyze an online art exhibition or, alternatively, a museum or gallery art exhibition of your choice.
Find out here What is an Online Art Exhibition? Reviewing an online art exhibition will give you a glimpse into the principles and strategies that guide the organization of an actual art museum exhibition, into the featured artworks, and into the ideas and information used to give meaning to the artworks exhibited. Analyzing an online exhibition will further expose you to art and encourage you to learn more about it.
Alternatively, you may visit an art exhibition. Visiting and analyzing a museum or art gallery exhibition in person will allow you to perceive the organization of the exhibition in real space, where you can contemplate works of art in physical relation to each other and to yourself. Direct exposure to artworks allows you to see yourself in physical relation to them–in terms of scale, for example–and to directly observe the application of materials and execution of techniques.
Regardless of which type of art exhibition you choose to focus on–online or museum/gallery–these are the learning objectives of this assignment:
- Demonstrate an understanding of how art is presented to the public by analyzing an online art exhibition or an art museum exhibition.
- Demonstrate skill in analyzing individual works of art.
- Demonstrate your identity in this course by recording a video of yourself presenting the assignment.
Tasks:
- Read Online Art Exhibition Choices and choose an online art exhibition. Alternatively, you may visit an art museum exhibition in your area. If you are interested in this option, review Visiting an Art Museum or Gallery in Person.
- If you chose an online exhibition, navigate through your chosen exhibition website. Read all included texts, watch videos, and explore other resources. If you chose an art museum exhibition, walk through the exhibition and observe the organization and display of the art in space, and read the wall texts.
- First answer the following question about the exhibition overall. We highly suggest you write all your answers out in list or paragraph form before you record your video.
- What is the main idea or theme of the exhibition? What are viewers supposed to take away from the show?
- Then, select three artworks to analyze. In addition to including the title and artist of each work, answer the following questions for each artwork – again, you may want to first answer in list or paragraph form.
- Why did you select this artwork? What is more interesting about it in your opinion?
- What elements and principles of art stand out in this work of art? (Use the terms learned in Unit 2).
- Review this Example: Analysis of an Online Art Exhibition to better understand what is expected.
- Answer all the questions above, for the exhibition itself and for each of your 3 artworks, before recording your video.
Video Instructions:
After drafting your answers to these questions, create and submit a 1-3 minute video through the assignment tool. Open your video by clearly showing your student ID (or other government ID) to the camera for a few seconds for identity verification. Then briefly talk about your exhibition and share your personal observations and reflections on what you saw. Think about what you found successful and interesting about the show, and what you think could have been improved. Don’t simply read your answers – tell your instructor what stuck out, surprised you, or otherwise struck you about your experience. Submit the recording with your answers to the questions above through the assignment tool. This video will serve to verify your identity for the purposes of this course.
IMPORTANT: It is recommended that you record your video outside of GoVIEW and save it as an mp4.
Criteria on which you will be graded:
- Your thoughtful, substantial, and specific descriptions and analysis – plagiarism will not be tolerated
- Your accurate use of terms and concepts from Units 2
- Your ability to follow the instructions and answer the questions provided
- Your personal engagement with and reflection on the exhibition as evidenced in your video
