Content-wise, your blog must be art focused, more specifically on Fine Art commentary. Each entry must address one specific art work in the context of the exhibition at large that it belongs. You will visit an exhibition, look at all works, choose one piece and write your blog entry.
Each entry must be at least 6 paragraphs long, each paragraph with at least 6 sentences.
Each blog must include at least 1 image you will make/take/capture. Note that in some museums photography is not allowed in some or all areas; if this is the case you will be responsible to find images from the art/artist you have chosen, at least 2 - even if they are not of the actual work.
You must include the following into the paragraph:
- (2) title & curator of exhibition;
- name of institution;
- (6) date, (title IN ITALIC), dimensions, duration, medium & media of art work;
media examples (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media)
- (2) name & nationality of artist;
Keep in mind that this is not an art appreciation blog, so refrain from framing your entries as something you like or do not like. There are three main areas you must focus on your writing:
- sight: an actual description of what you see;
- thought: what the art work brings to your mind, associations and relationships to other art works, theories, pieces of literature, pop culture, etc (here is where you have to access your mind's library);
- emotion: what the art work makes you feel, a response that is not immediately verbally articulated, but that causes you to behold the art piece.
Due: 04/13 (25 points)
