Paper Part II: Reading-Based Assignment Using the Textbook and One Outside Source

Expectations: As explained to you in class, you will write a term paper in three separate parts, handed in to me of the course of the semester as drafts, which you will later correct and combine into a complete paper at the end of the semester; this is Part II. For this second part, I expect you to write a historical and text-based analysis of the work of art that you chose on your own during your museum visit. In addition to using your textbook, you should find at least one other textual source (a book or an article) to be used to further discuss your work of art, artist, and or thesis topic. I expect this part of the paper to be at least three (3) typed pages, double-spaced. To do this assignment, please follow the steps outlined below:

Step 1: Using the textbook, begin your essay by identifying the period of time from which your artwork originates. To do this, read through the table of contents and locate the chapter that best fits your artwork. Then, identify and define the style of your artwork based on the information in the textbook concerning other works of art similar to yours. This should NOT be a one or two-sentence description of period and style; instead it should be at least two paragraphs and include the definition of the style in question.

Please keep in mind that your specific artwork and/or artist may or may not be covered in the textbook; if this is the case you may have to find an additional textual source for this part of the paper.

Step 2: Once you have identified the chapter, period and style in which your artist and similar artworks would be placed in the book, provide an overview of the major historical points of the chapter in your essay. Who, besides your chosen artist, were the major artists working at the same time? Where was the focus of the art world at the time? What were the major historical events at the time that your work was made? Who were the foremost purchasers of art? How was art displayed in that time? You must include vocabulary words and their definitions from the course list in your essay to illustrate the different components of your artwork. Remember to discuss the style, subject matter, media and techniques used in your artwork.

Step 3: Finally, please locate at least one other book or article about your artist, artwork or the style of the artwork. You may use any scholarly book or article. You may use the internet to find articles in a database or archive, such as in JSTOR or on NYTimes.com, but you may NOT use websites such as Wikipedia OR Encyclopedias for information. To find articles in databases you can look at one or more of the databases on the KCC Kibbee Library website at: http://www.kbcc.cuny.edu/kcclibrary/articles/DBLibrary/alphalist.php

After finding your second source and reading it thoroughly, please discuss the following in your essay:

What were some of the original questions you had when you first viewed the work and were you able to find answers to these questions in your research? Did you learn any biographical information about your artist? What was your artist’s life like? Was your specific artwork discussed in your second source? Why did you choose this second source? Did it have a lot of information that you found interesting? Did this book or article contain any additional information about your artwork that you did not read about in the textbook? What is the subject of your artwork? What is the artwork about?

Again, I want this essay to be a narrative in your own words. I am not interested in reading papers in which you have cut-and-pasted material right from the books or the internet into your essay.

Citations and Bibliography:

I expect that you will use proper citations (such as footnotes, endnotes or parenthetical notes) in your paper. If you do not know how or when to include a citation, please consult a style manual, such as the MLA Style Guide. We can briefly go over citations in class. The thing to remember is that if you include anything in your paper that was based on something you read, written by someone else, you can include it, but you must provide a citation for the original source of the information including page number and date of publication, at least.

This paper also requires you to include a bibliography. This is also covered in MLA and we can quickly discuss it in class. This is a document at the end of the paper where you list all of the sources that you used for the information in your essay. Everyone’s bibliography should include at least two sources: the textbook information and you’re the information about your one outside source.

Format:

The paper should include the title, an introductory paragraph and a concluding paragraph.

This paper must begin where the museum-based essay, term paper part I ended. Make sure to make all corrections to part I before staring part II.

Papers must be typed on clean white paper, double spaced, with no more than 1" margins all around and using a font size no larger than Times New Roman 12.

Please run the spell check feature before turning the paper in to me; spell check will not catch all errors, but it will clean up some basic and minor spelling issues.

Important: Attach a cover sheet with the title of your paper, your full name, the course number and the section. No plastic report covers please. Just staple everything together using one staple in the top left corner and include the cover sheet mentioned above.

Length should be approximately three (3) typed pages (so, when attached to the end of Part I, you should now have about 6 pages total).

Remember that this part of the paper will be attached to the end of Part I. Make sure that the ideas seem to flow in a clear an organized manner from Part I to Part II.

Expectations and Grading Criteria:

This paper is a draft, and as such will not be given a number grade but will be evaluated in terms of the depth and quality of the visual analysis, readability and style and organization. On the first draft, you will receive, a "check +" for excellence, a "check" for a good paper, and a "check -" for a poor paper. Papers with a significant amount of errors will be returned to the student unmarked for an immediate re-write. ALL STUDENTS WILL BE REQUIRED TO RE-WRITE ALL PORTIONS OF THIS PAPER AND RESUMBIT IT WITH MY CORRECTIONS AND SUGGESTIONS AT THE END OF THE TERM FOR A NUMBER GRADE.

Failure to complete this portion of the paper, all drafts and the rewrite at the end of the term will result in a lower final grade.

Paper Part I: Description of A Sculpture and Your Field Experience

Expectations: As explained to you in class, you will write a term paper in three separate parts, handed in to me over the course of the semester as drafts, which you will later correct and combine into a complete paper at the end of the semester. For this first part, I expect you to write a visual description and analysis of a sculpture that you will choose on your own during EITHER a self-visit to a museum of your choice in New York City, OR a visit to a sculpture in a public space in New York City. In addition, the paper should include a description of your field experience. I expect the paper to be at least three (3) typed pages, double-spaced. To do this, please follow the steps outlined below:

Step 1: Go to ONE museum in New York City (for your paper, the best are the Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Museum of Modern Art, or the Brooklyn Museum of Art) and choose ONE work of SCULPTURE (do not choose a painting or any other type of artwork that is not sculpture…) that you would like to write about over the course of this semester. Check the museum hours on the web before planning your visit.

OR

Step 1: Go to a public space that has a large outdoor sculpture, such as in a park, a garden, a cemetery or a public square. If you want to work on this option, you must have a camera and take at least four photographs of the work you chose. Speak to me if you would like to choose this option.

Please choose a work of art that fits within the date parameters of the course (for Art 98, choose any sculpture made between 1800 and 2010).

If you do the museum option, pay the minimum admission required and get a receipt. (Remember: MoMA is FREE for CUNY Students with ID; The Met is pay-what-you-wish; The Brooklyn Museum is $6 for students with ID.) You will turn the receipt in to me with the paper. Do not lose it: I will not accept the paper if the receipt is missing and you will have to make a return trip to the museum to replace the missing receipt because you must hand it in with the final version of the paper. [You are exempt from this if you are working on a public sculpture: your photos are proof of your visiting the sculpture.]

Allow yourself a significant amount of time to look at the sculpture; two hours would probably be sufficient.

Step 2: Take detailed descriptive notes on the work you chose. This should consist of a description of the work as you see it. What type of sculpture did you choose (relief? sculpture in the round?)? What is the sculpture made of (marble? bronze? wood? Etc.)? What is going on in the sculpture? What colors are being used (describe any and all colors, patinas, gilding, etc.)? What is the subject matter? You should have enough notes on the artwork so that you can write approximately three (3) typed pages, with at least one and a half pages of description.

Step 3: Note the artist’s name, the title of the work, the medium in which it is made, the date of the work and the size or approximate size of the work (especially in relation to its surroundings). Much of this factual information will be on the wall label next to the artwork. If you chose a public sculpture, look around for some sort of identifying or descriptive plaque near the sculpture.

Step 4: Make a rough sketch of the way the artwork looks. This sketch will not be graded, but it must be included in your draft that you turn in to me. The sketch will help you to remember the details of the image. I will not accept a postcard or photograph of the image, although you can take/buy one if it is available for your own use.

Step 5: Go home and start writing. I would like you to address the following questions in this first part of your paper:

• If you chose a museum, why did you choose the museum that you did and what was your experience like there?
• If you chose a public sculpture, why did you do so? What was your experience like in front of the sculpture?
• Was this your first visit to an art museum? If yes, why have you never gone before? If not, when did you go in the past and what was your reason for going to museums?
• Observe your surroundings. What were other people’s reactions to the sculpture?
• What was the title and date of the work that you chose? Who was the artist who made the artwork?
• What was it that made you choose this work of art specifically?
• What was your first impression of it? What mood does the sculpture convey?
• What is it that you would like to learn about this work of art or its artist when you research it? (Thesis topic: what line of inquiry do you want to follow in Part II?)
• What does it look like? (Give a full description using the notes you took while in front of the artwork.)

Audience:

Assume that the reader of your paper is not me but someone else (a family friend, a brother or sister, etc.), that is, someone who may not know much about art or who may not know which work you chose. This will help you to write a better, more detailed description of the artwork. However, this does not mean that you should write in an informal manner; this is a college-level assignment and should be treated as such. You might have a friend read over your paper before handing it to me to see if it makes sense to them.

Format:

The paper should include a title, an introductory paragraph and a concluding paragraph.

Papers must be typed on clean white paper, double spaced, with no more than 1" margins all around and using a font size no larger than Times New Roman 12.

Please run the spell check feature before turning the paper in to me; spell check will not catch all errors, but it will clean up some basic and minor spelling issues.

Attach the receipt and/or button, the sketch, and the three typed pages, and attach a cover sheet with the title of your paper, your full name, the course number and the section.

Length should be approximately three (3) typed pages.

Expectations and Grading Criteria:

This paper is a draft, and as such will not be given a number grade but will be evaluated in terms of the depth and quality of the visual analysis, readability and style and organization. On the first draft, you will receive, a "check +" for excellence, a "check" for a good paper, and a "check -" for a poor paper. Papers with a significant amount of errors will be returned to the student unmarked for an immediate re-write. ALL STUDENTS WILL BE REQUIRED TO RE-WRITE ALL PORTIONS OF THIS PAPER AND RESUMBIT IT WITH MY CORRECTIONS AND SUGGESTIONS AT THE END OF THE TERM FOR A NUMBER GRADE.

Failure to complete this portion of the paper, all drafts and the rewrite at the end of the term will result in a lower final grade.

NO LATE PAPERS OR E-MAILED PAPERS WILL BE ACCEPTED!

Paper Part I: Description of Artwork and Museum Experience

Expectations: As explained to you in class, you will write a term paper in three separate parts, handed in to me over the course of the semester as drafts, which you will later correct and combine into a complete paper at the end of the semester. For this first part, I expect you to write a visual description and analysis of a work of art that you will choose on your own during a self-visit to a museum of your choice in New York City. In addition, the paper should include a description of your museum experience. I expect the paper to be at least three (3) typed pages, double-spaced. To do this, please follow the steps outlined below:

Step 1: Go to ONE museum in New York City (for your paper, the best are the Metropolitan Museum of Art or the Museum of Modern Art, or the Brooklyn Museum of Art) and choose ONE work of art (a painting, a sculpture, a photograph or a drawing) from the museum’s collection that you would like to write about over the course of this semester. Check the museum hours on the web before planning your visit.

Please choose a work of art that fits within the date parameters of the course (for Art 36, choose any painting, sculpture or photograph made between 1945 and the present day).

Pay the minimum admission required and get a receipt. (Remember: MoMA is FREE for CUNY Students with ID; The Met is pay-what-you-wish; The Brooklyn Museum is $6 for students with ID.) You will turn the receipt in to me with the paper. Do not lose it: I will not accept the paper if the receipt is missing and you will have to make a return trip to the museum to replace the missing receipt because you must hand it in with the final version of the paper.

Allow yourself a significant amount of time in the museum to look around; two hours would probably be sufficient.

Step 2: Take detailed descriptive notes on the work you chose. This should consist of a description of the work as you see it. Is it a painting, a sculpture, a photograph or a drawing? What is going on in the image? What colors are being used (describe all colors)? What is the style, subject matter, etc? You should have enough notes on the artwork so that you can write approximately three (3) typed pages, with at least a page and a half of description.

Step 3: Note the artist’s name, the title of the work, the medium in which it is made, the date of the work and the size or approximate size of the work (especially in relation to other objects in the room). Much of this factual information will be on the wall label next to the artwork.

Step 4: Make a rough sketch of the way the artwork looks. This sketch will not be graded, but it must be included in your draft that you turn in to me. The sketch will help you to remember the details of the image. I will not accept a postcard or photograph of the image, although you can take/buy one for your own use.

Step 5: Go home and start writing. I would like you to address the following questions in this first part of your paper:

• Why did you choose the museum that you did and what was your experience like there?
• Was this your first visit to an art museum? If yes, why have you never gone before? If not, when did you go in the past and what was your reason for going to museums?
• What was the title and date of the work that you chose? Who was the artist who made the artwork?
• What was it that made you choose this work of art specifically?
• What was your first impression of it? What mood does the artwork convey?
• Observe your surroundings. What were other visitors’ reactions to your artwork?
• What is it that you would like to learn about this work of art or its artist when you research it? (Thesis topic: what line of inquiry do you want to follow in Part II?)
• What does it look like? (Give a full description using the notes you took while in front of the artwork.)

Audience:

Assume that the reader of your paper is not me but someone else (a family friend, a brother or sister, etc.), that is, someone who may not know much about art or who may not know which work you chose. This will help you to write a better, more detailed description of the artwork. However, this does not mean that you should write in an informal manner; this is a college-level assignment and should be treated as such. You might have a friend read over your paper before handing it to me to see if it makes sense to them.

Format:

The paper should include a title, an introductory paragraph and a concluding paragraph.

Papers must be typed on clean white paper, double spaced, with no more than 1" margins all around and using a font size no larger than Times New Roman 12.

Please run the spell check feature before turning the paper in to me; spell check will not catch all errors, but it will clean up some basic and minor spelling issues.

Attach the receipt and/or button, the sketch, and the three typed pages, and attach a cover sheet with the title of your paper, your full name, the course number and the section.

Length should be approximately three (3) typed pages.

Expectations and Grading Criteria:

This paper is a draft, and as such will not be given a number grade but will be evaluated in terms of the depth and quality of the visual analysis, readability and style and organization. On the first draft, you will receive, a "check +" for excellence, a "check" for a good paper, and a "check -" for a poor paper. Papers with a significant amount of errors will be returned to the student unmarked for an immediate re-write. ALL STUDENTS WILL BE REQUIRED TO RE-WRITE ALL PORTIONS OF THIS PAPER AND RESUMBIT IT WITH MY CORRECTIONS AND SUGGESTIONS AT THE END OF THE TERM FOR A NUMBER GRADE.

Failure to complete this portion of the paper, all drafts and the rewrite at the end of the term will result in a lower final grade.

NO LATE PAPERS OR E-MAILED PAPERS WILL BE ACCEPTED!

Paper Part I: Description of Artwork and Museum Experience

Expectations: As explained to you in class, you will write a term paper in three separate parts, handed in to me over the course of the semester as drafts, which you will later correct and combine into a complete paper at the end of the semester. For this first part, I expect you to write a visual description and analysis of a work of art that you will choose on your own during a self-visit to a museum of your choice in New York City. In addition, the paper should include a description of your museum experience. I expect the paper to be at least three (3) typed pages, double-spaced. To do this, please follow the steps outlined below:

Step 1: Go to ONE museum in New York City (for your paper, the best are the Metropolitan Museum of Art or the Museum of Modern Art, or the Brooklyn Museum of Art) and choose ONE work of art (a painting, a sculpture, a photograph, a drawing, etc.) from the collection that you would like to write about over the course of this semester. Check the museum hours on the web before planning your visit.

Please choose a work of art that fits within the date parameters of the course (for Art 35, choose any painting, sculpture, photograph or drawing made between 1900 and 1945).

Pay the minimum admission required and get a receipt. (Remember: MoMA is FREE for CUNY Students with ID; The Met is pay-what-you-wish; The Brooklyn Museum is $6 for students with ID.) You will turn the receipt in to me with the paper. Do not lose it: I will not accept the paper if the receipt is missing and you will have to make a return trip to the museum to replace the missing receipt because you must hand it in with the final version of the paper.

Allow yourself a significant amount of time in the museum to look around; two hours would probably be sufficient.

Step 2: Take detailed descriptive notes on the work you chose. This should consist of a description of the work as you see it. Is it a painting, a sculpture, a photograph or a drawing? What is the artwork made from? What is going on in the image? What colors are being used (describe all colors)? What is the style, subject matter, etc? You should have enough notes on the artwork so that you can write approximately three (3) typed pages, with at least one and a half pages of description.

Step 3: Note the artist’s name, the title of the work, the medium in which it is made, the date of the work and the size or approximate size of the work (especially in relation to other objects in the room). Much of this factual information will be on the wall label next to the artwork.

Step 4: Make a rough sketch of the way the artwork looks. This sketch will not be graded, but it must be included in your draft that you turn in to me.

The final draft of your paper is due at the Final Exam

Some things to keep in mind:

• You must attend class, read the assignments, do all writing assignments and study for exams to pass this course! You will be tested on the images that are discussed and reproduced in the textbook in addition to other works that I show in class.
• If I catch you sleeping in class, I will mark you absent for the day. (Get yourself a Red Bull or something.)
• Cell Phones must remain off or set to vibrate during class. Do not play with your cell phone during class lectures and the phone must not be visible during class lectures or exams.
• No eating, please. Chatting in class is not permitted. Engagement in the class discussion, however, is encouraged.
• Lateness counts! Absences count! Please show up on time for every class; slides for the writing assignments will not be repeated.
• Please utilize a regular dictionary and/or www.artlex.com for finding vocabulary definitions.
• Please make use of the websites for this course, Ning and my e-mail if you have any questions – E-mail is the best and most efficient way to reach me if you have problems or questions.

Some information about grades and class performance:

• Please be aware that just attending class and not doing any work does not warrant a passing grade. Being here is REQUIRED.
• I do not give “extra credit” assignments. If you just study for and do well on all of the required work in this course, you will earn a passing grade.
• I do not give you your grades: you give yourself your grades. All I do is record how you do in the five required assignment areas in this course: the midterm examination; the term paper and its components; the final examination; homework and all assignments to be turned in; and in-class work that is immediately collected. It is up to you to give yourself the grade that you want in this class.
• NEVER ask me for a specific grade. You will earn a grade based on the average of your scores on the exams, papers, and assignments. If you need an A in this class, then make sure you earn it! The final grade is based on your scores on these assignments and nothing else!
• I generally do not give make-up exams. However, if you expect that you will have a problem attending the midterm or the final as they are scheduled on the syllabus, you must let me know as soon as possible. I will require that you bring in some proof as to why you cannot take the exam on the actual exam day (letter from work, doctor’s note, etc.). If you have no proof of reason for missing the exam, you will not be granted a make-up.
• Please also note: any approved make-ups are usually given BEFORE the rest of the class takes the test, not after.
• I generally do not except late work. All assignments must be handed in exactly when they are due. It is not fair to give some students extra time for assignments while others hand in work on time. If work is turned in late, I take off points for every day it is late. Once an assignment is more than one week late, I will not accept it.
• I reserve the right to refuse any work if I suspect it is not the student’s original work. Anything submitted in this class that is copied from the internet or seemingly copied from another student or is in any way plagiarized from another source will be returned with a zero grade.
• I expect that when you are here in class, you remain in the class for the duration of our meeting. While it is okay to leave the room in an emergency, please do not make it a habit. If I notice that you have left the room for a long period or left early without an excuse, I will mark you absent for the day.

Art 09800 Course Description – Art 98: History of Modern Sculpture (3 crs., 3 hrs): A study of the major developments in the history and theory of sculpture in Europe and the United States, focusing on the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and continuing through to sculpture of the present day.

Goals of the Art 98 course:

By the end of the Art 98 course, students should be able to:

1. Appreciate sculptures from various cultures.
   1. Understand the differences between the various styles (or “isms”) in modern sculpture.
   2. Learn and utilize art terminology necessary for discussion and study of sculpture.
2. Know and be able to describe specific historical details of selected works of sculpture from Western and non-Western cultures. Students are expected to gain an understanding of the relationships between artistic works and historical events, to recognize the influence of non-Western art and popular culture onto avant-garde artists and to understand their break from traditional sculpture as it had been academically taught.
3. Write about a work of sculpture using the knowledge acquired from class lectures and the assigned readings. The students will be exposed to art historical writing (which can be, but will not be limited to, art criticism, ekphrasis/artistic description, or historical research) so that they have a model on which to create their own art historical writing project.
4. Verbally Discuss a work of sculpture using the knowledge acquired from the class lectures and the assigned readings especially with regard to how a work of sculpture speaks to the issues of its own times.

The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance. ~Aristotle

Exactitude is not truth. ~ Henri Matisse
