Art Movement Presentations Guidelines

Painting II

MOVEMENT PRESENTATION CRITERIA
Kyle Stevenson, professor

Instructions:
You are to sign up for an artistic movement (sign-up sheet is going around) on a specified date to give a 5-10 minute presentation to the rest of class.  You will need to collect images and know your movement well enough to discuss the work associated with it in a conversational manner.  I will not collect a written report.  In order to get an A*, you may not have written notes--it must be completely oral!  Your grade will depend on the quality of your research and image collecting and how well you deliver the material you found.

Questions to address when Researching your Artist Presentation:

1. What is the Artistic or Cultural Background of the movement? What countries, territories, or region did it originate? What cultural events were taking place to affect it(1-2 minutes)
                                   

2. Collect 10 to 15 visual examples of their work for us to look at while you are presenting. (3-5 minutes)

A. Use digital images from the internet or that you have scanned (a folder of jpegs, a PowerPoint or GoogleSlides presentation).  

B. If you are using jpegst, name and number the images in the order you want to present them and save them on a flash drive or arrange to email them to me. 

C. Ideally get your images to me the class before you present.

D. Your images should be large enough to cover most of a 600x800 pixel screen with a minimum 72 dpi.  Artcyclopedia.com and google images are great websites for image collecting.

You must know the names and approximate dates of all the works you choose, and be able to elaborate on 1 or 2 of the movement’s most important art works by discussing the important elements contained in each.  Explain why these works were important to art history.
           
3. What main elements are important to looking at and understanding the artwork or process of the movement(1-2 minutes)?

4. Do you like the work of the movement? Why or Why not (1-2 minutes)?

The Rules

*In order to get an A, you may NOT . . .

·          . . . Read from any notes or consult a cheat sheet.

·         . . . Have any PowerPoint slides (or jpegs) of text.  You may have some text on image slides, but the majority of the slide must be the image.

·          . . . Take more than 10 minutes.  I will have a timer and warn you when you are getting close, but you must finish before 10 minutes, not merely stop.

·          . . . Have poor quality images (see above image specs) or inaccurate information.

·         . . . Deviate from the directions in any way.

Breaking any of the above rules will result in a full letter grade deduction per rule broken.
