TRM 153: Studio Concepts
Artist Presentations
Due: November 14, 2013
Each member of class will be conducting
independent research on a selected or assigned artist or filmmaker.
You will present this research to the class on Thursday November
14, 2013. Presentations should
be between 7-10 minutes long. You may choose to write out your
presentation or not, but you are required to turn in an
outline and a bibliography at
the time of your presentation. Please bring a hard copy for your
instructor. For reference, it takes around 5 minutes to read one page
of single spaced text at a slow pace. Be sure to practice.
Each
presentation and outline must
include:
- Short biography of artist
- Historical/social/political context of where and when your artist lived and made work
- Major themes your artist addresses
- The conceptual, technical, political, or other impact you think your artist had on their chosen media and/or society
- An analysis of one work* or body of work* that you find reflects (3) and (4).
For
photographic work: Choose 3-5 images from a series to analyze for the
class.
For
video/film/sound work: Select a 2-3 minute clip to view in class and
analyze.
*These cannot
be clips or images viewed in class.
Your
bibliography must
include at least 3 sources, cited MLA style:
- A book OR academic article accessed via JSTOR (or similar)
- Full Citation of the work you presented (this counts as one). Make sure to include the Title, date, and original media of the work. Also include where and how you accessed the work (DVD? Book? Slides? ArtStor? Ubuweb?).
- Reputable Internet Sources (They count as one, but include all. Wikipedia does not count: any information you find here MUST be cited from a second, reputable source.)
