HUM 100 Museum Report Read the directions carefully and answer each prompt completely. Your museum report should include the following information at the top: Name of Museum: __________________________________________________________ Date of visit: ___________________________ Arrival time at the museum: ________________ Departure time from the museum: ___________ Your report should be written in essay form in MLA format in terms of its setup: header, margins, font. (Since your work for this project will be based entirely on your own perceptions of the art, you do not need outside sources and therefore you do not need a Works Cited page.) PART I: Best AND Worst (worth 50 points) Directions: 1) Identify the one work of art that you find to be the BEST art work in the entire museum. * Provide the title, artist, and all other identification material provided on the plaque accompanying the material for each of these pieces. * Describe each work using the elements of composition and principles of design. * Explain what message you think the artist was trying to communicate and how you think s/he accomplished this task. * Write a brief paragraph on why you like/dislike each of these particular pieces of art as well as how each made you feel. 2) Now do ALL of the above for the one work of art that you like LEAST in the entire museum. PART II: “Scavenger Hunt” (worth 50 points) Directions: Give the title, artist, medium, and date or origin of your selections for FIVE of the following ten choices. Then elaborate as prompted in the parentheses. Find a piece of art that: 1) you don’t consider to be art at all (briefly explain why) 2) made you think of your childhood (what memory was sparked?) 3) reminded you of someone or something (who or what did it remind you of?) 4) made you smile (why?) 5) grossed you out (in what way?) 6) gave you a sense of excitement (why?) 7) mirrors your own spirituality or lack of it (explain) 8) you would like to own (why?) 9) looks like a child painted it (what qualities does child art have that other art doesn’t? Picasso said that when he as 12 he could paint like the masters, but it took him his whole life to learn to see as a child. What do you think he meant?) 10) is the most realistic or representational (How can you tell it isn’t a photograph? Do you see brushstrokes?) BONUS: (worth 15 points)—You may choose ONE AND ONLY ONE of the following options. Bonus Option 1: Power Play Directions: Choose 5 of the following ten categories and identify one art work for each of the five you’ve selected that you consider to be the best representations of the category of power and give the title, date, artist or origin of each as well as a brief explanation of how you see the particular culture depicted. EGYPTIAN POWER MEDIEVAL POWER MESO-AMERICAN POWER SPIRITUAL POWER FEMALE POWER ASIAN POWER AESTHETIC POWER PATRIARCHAL POWER NATURE’S POWER SEXUAL POWER Bonus Option 2: Time Capsule Directions: Suppose that you have been chosen to select works of art from the museum to be buried in a time capsule. You must choose 5 works of art that you think best depict 5 different cultures. These should be emblematic enough that archaeologists and anthropologists millennia hence will be able to accurately interpret the culture by examining these art pieces or artifacts. Give the title, origin, and/or date of the art work and a brief description of what it reveals about the culture/time period it comes from. Purpose: to interact with art both individually and in collections to look at art in original forms analytically and critically to consider the role of art in our culture and in your life Grading: I will grade this on the thoroughness of the answers to the questions and evidence of critical thinking about the choices.
