Common
assessment #2: Art History
Throughout
time, artists have built upon each other’s influence. An artist can view
a work from the past and become inspired to build on ideas and develop a unique
approach of his/her own. Select an artwork you have created so
far in 8th VA COMP. Compare this artwork with an artist's artwork(s)
from the past/present and answer the following questions:
-Who
is the influencing artist and why was/is their work impactful? (at least
3-5 sentences)
-What
is similar about your work and the artist's work? What is different?
(focus
on style, media, subject matter, purpose and outside influences)
-Do
you think this artist would have liked your work? Why or why not? (at least 2
sentences)
A
student can do this through:
-a
written 3 paragraph essay
-a
compare and contrast chart
Use the project you created for the art show for this assessment. EVERYONE picked an artist that influenced them when we started. See me if you need help. This assignment is due on your blog by Wednesday 3/10. If you are going on the Disney trip this needs to be done BEFORE you go!
Please upload your writing and the picture of your artwork under the assessments tab of your blog.
