Creating Artwork

Directions for Artwork Creation

Closely examine the work of the covered Fantastic, Dada, and Surrealist artists, using them as sources of inspiration for your own artwork.  You may use any techniques to approach this assignment, such as drawing, painting, collage, sculpting, etc.  Scrap book materials like stickers, rhinestones, and glitter are discouraged.  There are no size limitations or restrictions.

  • Think about the story you are trying to tell and ideas you would like to explore in your work.  Creating a wide range of sketches can help you with brainstorming.
  • You can create a two-dimensional or three-dimensional artwork.
  • Methods of Automatism (chance collage, frottage, grottage, and decalcomania) or Veristic Surrealism may be employed.
  • Choose an appropriate and meaningful title for your artwork.
  • Have fun with this artwork while you examine your own dreams and subconscious thoughts.
  • Challenge your ideas, pushing the limit of this assignment, and experiment with various media.
  • Carefully consider the medium and paper you want to use (using better quality drawing paper always makes the work more professional).  Combining several mediums such as photography, collage, and painting can be a good approach to this assignment.
  • You should provide (1) full-view image and (2) close-up images of your artwork.  All of them should be different.  Also, feel free to include images that inspired your ideas, such as photographs, found objects, and personal belongings.
  • If your artwork is three-dimensional or has a significant amount of detail on its back and/or sides, you may provide additional views of the artwork.
  • When photographing your work, aim the camera straight down at your image.  If you still have some visible background, crop your image in Photoshop.
  • Please review these tips on photographing your art: Download Photographing Art
  • Pay close attention to the craftsmanship of your piece, which means no excess glue, finger prints, torn edges or wrinkles in the paper.
  • Remember that art and science magazines are a great source for images that you could utilize to compose your artwork. In these magazines you will find materials especially useful for Fantastic Art.
  • Take a look at the Student Artwork Gallery.
  • FYI, you may NOT use Photoshop to create your image (just to crop/resize it), since this course focuses on the handmade.
  • These are small details but they will significantly improve the quality of your piece.

Remember to check out the Demonstration Videos.  There are many videos that can help you with creating your artwork.

Compare and Contrast Your Work to a Fantastic Artist’s Work

Written Narrative

Directions for the Narrative

Write a narrative that is at least 650-800 words in length (you are welcome to write much more), using at least 12-pt font.  This paper should compare and contrast your work to a Fantastic artist’s work discussed in the online chapter. Some suggestions to help you begin writing are listed below. For further assistance on how to write a narrative paper, please reference the additional resources included in the Course pages under “Writing a Narrative“.

Compare and Contrast Your Work to a Fantastic Artist’s Work

  • Identify the artist (Independent, Dada, or Surrealist) and the work that you have selected to review.
  • Indicate when the work was created and what medium was used.
  • Provide some historical background of the artist and the fantastic movement you have selected to discuss.
  • Conduct personal research of the artist and artwork you are discussing in your narrative.  It’s crucial that you learn more about the artist than what is provided on the course website and reflect that knowledge in your writing.
  • Explain what you find especially interesting, inspiring, or disturbing about this artist’s work.
  • Discuss how the artist’s work relates to the ideas and goals of your own work.
  • Explain how you made your artwork and what techniques, materials, and concepts you used.
  • Explain the story behind your work (why you created it, your influences, the memories attached to the work).
  • Discuss the formal and conceptual aspects of both artworks (subject matter, form, and content) using at least 7 vocabulary terms from the assigned reading.  Make sure to type vocabulary in ALL CAPS.
  • Follow the intro, body, and conclusion format to organize your writing.  Tips on structuring your narrative can be found in the Course Orientation under “Creating an Outline”.
  • Make sure to cite all of your sources (books, internet, etc) in a Works Cited/Bibliography page at the end of your narrative.  You should have at least (3) reliable, scholarly sources such as books, art magazines, as well as online museums, art publications, etc.  Wikipedia is not encouraged as one of your main sources.  In order to get credit for the “citing” portion of the grading rubric, you must list all of your researched sources in the Works Cited/Bibliography section of your paper (even if you didn’t include any quotes from those sources in your writing).  Please see directions on how to cite books and online sources in the Course Orientation.
  • Include your narrative’s word count at the end of your paper (ex: Word Count: 767 words).
  • Finally, thoughtfully select a meaningful title for your assignment.

2. Note the amount of images required: total of 3  1 overview of the artwork and 2 additional detail close-ups. You are welcome to submit more. Check out tips on photographing your artwork under “Documenting your Artwork” page in the Art Making in Art 10 section of the Course Orientation.  https://courses.aanda.psu.edu/art010/node/1953Links to an external site. 3. Be sure to integrate at least 7 vocabulary terms from the assigned Art Fundamentals reading (Ch 2). Support your terms with specific examples in your own words, so that they sound natural in your writing. ( I would provide a picture of the vocabulary to use  4.

Selecting a Theme and Gallery Pieces

Unit II Assignment

Art Gallery: Selecting a Theme and Gallery Pieces

Throughout this course, you will be working towards completing your course project, which is an art gallery. This project will be a PowerPoint presentation that you will build upon with each unit. After each unit, you will review your instructor’s feedback and revise your presentation accordingly.

For your first assignment, you will select a theme and five works of art for your art gallery. You will carry this theme throughout the course, and your additions for each unit will all relate back to this selected theme.

Using your textbook, select a theme. You can select an artist, historical period, or a type of art. It can be modern or traditional. Select a theme that interests you—one that you would be interested in learning more about. Once you have a theme selected, select five works of art that fall under that theme. You can use multiple works of art created by the same artist.

You will find a few examples of themes in the list below:

• Scenes depicted, such as war landscapes, water, or mountains

• Topics such as horses, flowers, or religion

• Types of art, such as graphic art, comic art, or photographs

• Techniques such as murals or sculptures

Begin by opening the “Course Resources” tab to find the template provided for your art gallery. In the course, you should see a tab on the left blue bar labeled “Course Resources” located under the COURSE CONTENT heading. Once you open the template, save it to your computer to complete. You will use this template throughout the course as you build your art gallery. Read the instructions for each assignment carefully to see which slides to complete. Be sure to add your own creative elements, including the background and graphics. You may also add more slides.

For this portion of the presentation, you should complete at least nine slides of the template that include the following:

• Title slide: Include the title of your presentation, your name, the university’s name, and the date.

• Introduction slide 1: Include why this theme interests you and what you hope to learn, using complete

sentences.

• Introduction slide 2: Include the title of your theme and a brief overview of the theme using supporting facts, using complete sentences.

• Artwork slides: Complete the five artwork slides. Include a visual of the artwork along with its title, artist, date, media (materials used in the artwork), and artwork citation.

• Reference slide: You must use at least your textbook as an outside source. Be sure to follow APA format for all sources used, including the textbook and artwork.

To access the art gallery template and other PowerPoint resources, click on the “Course Resources” link in the course menu bar of Blackboard.

advantages and disadvantages of encrypted communications

Did YOU know that securing data by restricting access to objects using operating system access controls works well for data at rest, or data that is stored at a single location?  Access controls limit which subjects can read or write data. This provides a level of security while the data remains on the object’s storage device, accessible only through Windows. The problem with this configuration is that functional data tends to be used. Sensitive data is stored in objects that need to be secured. It is also accessed at some point for the purpose of being presented, manipulated, or transmitted to another subject. Once data leaves its protected storage device, you need to provide additional protection to ensure its security is maintained.
Discuss some of the advantages and disadvantages of encrypted communications.
