Each student will create a 5-10 minute presentation that conveys the essence of their “self” through art. At least 5 works should be chosen. You will need to:
- tell us about the art (artist, when it was created, define the type of art, gives us some context about how it was created)
- explain how/why it represents you
- identify a social angle for each work AND do a thorough contextual analysis
- race and ethnicity
- gender and sexuality
- class and highbrow/lowbrow
- colonialism, postcolonialism, place and regionalism
- nature (environment, ecology) and culture
- memory, history, generational identity
- food culture
- body and mind
You can use ANY type of art covered in our class, including the performing arts (play, dance, music) that are in Module 3. The WHY it represents you is the most important part of the project. Each student is also required to find something in common with another student based upon self-portraits and to identify that “something in common” in a discussion comment of at least 50 words. (those 50 words will be in another file like pdf or word NOT in the powerpoint.
This is the classmate’s video that you will find something in common with: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWS1DHo0DF8
I want you to create the PowerPoint for me only the slides with all the information required for each work of the 5 arts and everything I need to say BUT without audio because then I will put my own voice to narrating the presentation.
