Instructions:

2. Chicago Notes and Bibliography at the end
3. Artwork i have chosen is: Yinka Shonibare CBE : “Flower Power”
Flower Power unravels the complex history of the fabric, from its original conception based on Indonesian design, to its introduction to the African colonies in the 19th century, and its re-appropriation as a symbol of Black power and African independence in the 1960s.
Central to the exhibition is Woman Shooting Cherry Blossom (2019), a new work by Shonibare tracing the spread of the Edwardian dress in Dutch-wax fabric around the globe, reflecting the 19th century’s globalised economy as well as the predominance of colonialism in this era. The cherry blossom shooting out of the rifle represents the postcolonial hybridisation of female identities emerging from the historical confines of Meiji Japan.

In this assignment, you will visually analysis (observe and describe) the object

In this assignment, you will visually analysis (observe and describe) the object pictured below. This object has a front and backside that are decorated. In this analysis, please:
Identify 3 – 5 visual elements.
List the key observations made from the visual(s).
Describe any naturalistic or figural elements.
Highlight any notable features.
I have attached instructor resources and guidelines for a proper visual analysis and the pictures of the piece to be analyzed.

For your first project you will be creating a PowerPoint presentation that can be understood through reading text and viewing slides as visuals.
The topic of your presentation will be an International Repatriation request that you find in the
news, obviously not the Benin Bronzes or the Parthenon Marbles (but it could be other items
originating from Nigeria or Greece). Ideally, this will be a request that is in the process or just
recently happened. Please avoid any Nazi Era items as we will thoroughly cover this topic
later. We will also be covering NAGPRA and Native American repatriations as a unit so please
make sure that your topic is not from Native Americans in the USA requesting back items from
an American Museum.
Your project will be to investigate the origin of the objects (site or a cultural group that the
object/objects were taken from). You will need to find images of the original site and images of
what is being requested (or at least good descriptions of the objects). You will need to
investigate the terms of how the objects were taken/acquired, when they were taken/acquired,
and who was responsible for the taking/acquisition. Where are the objects now (find the
repository) and get any images you can. Who is requesting the objects back and where would
they go? (Again, get any images you can.) Based on your investigation, should the request be
honored and the repatriation carried through?
You will put this all into a short presentation (written out it should be approximately 350
(minimum) to 500 words (max of 750) with a minimum of 6 slides (the most you should need
would be 12 slides). Remember to record where you are getting your images from and cite
your sources at the end. Be as clear, concise, and informative as you can.

Paper details: Compose a 2-3 page essay on the evolution of sustainable architecture at an undergraduate level. Begin with a brief introduction outlining the current significance of sustainable architecture and its historical evolution. Discuss key principles of sustainable architecture, emphasizing energy efficiency, renewable resources, and the integration of natural elements. Explore technological innovations in materials and construction techniques, and analyze two case studies of exemplary sustainable projects. Address challenges and criticisms, such as cost implications and implementation difficulties, and consider future trends in sustainable architecture. Conclude by summarizing key points and emphasizing the ongoing importance of sustainable practices. Ensure proper citation of scholarly references in a consistent format.

A formal analysis is a detailed descriiption of the “formal” qualities of an artwork. This exercise requires a long and sustained observation and descriiption of the art piece’s individual formal elements, such as subject, composition, pose, proportions, lines, space, texture, light and shadow, size, color, mood. A formal analysis assumes that a work of art has a meaning intended by the artist, and that this meaning can be ascertained by studying the relationships between the elements of the work. To aid in writing a formal analysis, you should think as if you were describing the work of art to someone who has never seen it before, so as to have a complete mental picture of what the work looks like. Yet, the formal analysis is more than just a descriiption of the work. It should also include a thesis statement that reflects your conclusions about the work. The thesis statement may, in general, answer a question like these: What do I think is the meaning of this work? What is the message that this work or artist sends to the viewer? What is this work all about? The thesis statement is an important element. It sets the tone for the entire paper, and sets it apart from being a merely descriiptive paper.

It is important to remember that your interest here is strictly formal; NO RESEARCH IS TO BE USED IN THIS PAPER. In other words, you are strictly relying on your ability to visually ‘read’ a work of art and make interpretations about it based on your analysis of it. Please use descriiptive language and adjectives to describe your work. Begin with a general descriiption of the work, and then move on to the more specific elements.

Search the internet and find an example of a piece of furniture or a building from the 20th Century that was influenced by Egyptian Style. (It might have been likely to have been a result of the frenzy over all things Egyptian after the discovery of King Tut’s Tomb.)
-Identify the title of the work (if any), the architect or designer, the location of the work, the date it was made and any other pertinent information. INCLUDE AN IMAGE with your answer.

Write a 2-page response on MFA. The 1st page should provide a comparison of the Old Masters gallery (art of Europe ) and the Impressionist Gallery (Renoir, Pissaro, Sisley, Signac, Monet). Give a general descriiption of what you saw and felt in each space. What was it like to move from one gallery to the other? (like: subject matter (religious figures or stories, court portraits, mythical illustrations, etc); perspective (is there depth or flatness); composition (figures centered on canvas or how otherwise arranged); details (clear outlines, sharp images or fuzzy and vague); brushwork (smoothed over or choppy or textured); movement (a sense of fluidity or a sense of being frozen?). how different is the art in impressionism and in Europe?
For the 2nd page, compare a painting from the Old Masters gallery with a work from the Impressionist gallery. (compare St Francis by Francisco de Zurbarán with Monets La Japonaise) and compare how each portrays its subject. For example, discuss differences in arrangement, spatial depth, detail, brushwork, movement, mood, use of light and color. How does the artist’s aesthetic approach affect your experience of the painting?
