Student Comparative Analysis Multi Media Presentations




Using Stokstad's introduction "Starter Kit" in our text, we have become familiar with how to deconstruct and analyze any piece of visual work, whether ancient or made yesterday.  

This is an opportunity for you to put your skills together and demonstrate the knowledge gleaned and present it in a class setting. 


Student presentations will be in 
WK 11   TU APR 16 & TH APR 18         
Pre Registration week FA 2019

Student Multi-Media Presentations  - plan on 4 - 5 minutes per presentation.    

In your presentations, you will create a comparative analysis between two forms.



Process
Part ONE
1. Select one image from our text we have never seen in my lecture notes from our text from Prehistory to Gothic Art.

NOTE: You may not use my examples, nor any of the student examples noted below. 


2. Your second image is to be found from the world of images made in the last century, between 1919 - 2019


They may be similar in subject matter or solely similar in their formal qualities.





Part TWO

Create ONE slide with BOTH images on it.
Place your name on the slide.
Put the first art history slide from our text on the LEFT (with page number) and your comparative image on the RIGHT.
Put ALL details on both images on the slide including:
Title -- in italics
Artist/Designer 
Time period. BCE or CE
Height in inches (convert any metric measurements)
Material

Making use of the formal elements and principles of design, speak about the comparison between two forms:

1. How do they compare to each other? 


Explain this through four of the elements of design below.

ELEMENTS of DESIGN
Line
Shape 
Color
Volume and mass
Space
Texture
Value

How do the elements function in your two selected works?


Explain by the use of 2 of the Principles of Design below.


PRINCIPLES of DESIGN
Unity - Variety / harmony
Balance - symmetry / asymmetrical / radial / occult
Emphasis - Focal Point
Pattern
Scale
Rhythm and repetition
Contrast
Visual Movement - direction / visual weight and visual speed


























Part THREE
1. Students will be drawn randomly of who will present first, second, third, etc.
Your images must sit on a slide side by side, as indicated in these examples. 

2. Organize your two examples side by side.
It can be a  PPT or any other multimedia presentation format you wish. 
Email me the digital file to jpepper@cazenovia.edu by 9:00 am on the day of the first presentations. 

You must include on the slide:

Your full name

The details of the two works: 
Artist/designer, title, date, dimensions (if you don't know the artist/designer type in Unknown)

Your presentation, at a minimum, will include 4 formal elements and 2 principles of design in your 5-minute presentation. 


Think of one minute for each Formal Element. And one minute to discuss the Principles of Design.



Evaluation:
As stated in the syllabus, the presentation class exercise will contribute to 5% of your overall grade.



NOTE:
You cannot use any of my visual comparisons, nor any of the students' samples listed below. 

For instance:



Unknown, Spotted Horses and Human Hands
Found in Pech-Merle Cave, France, 25,000 - 24,000 BCE
painted on limestone, over 5' in length

Keith Haring, mural, Brooklyn, NYC, c. 1982
enamel paint on a building

or

c. 2600 - 2400 BCE, marble

Mattel: Barbie

Ruth Handler (after Bild Lilli German doll)
