Must be posted to the blog by 11:59pm on 12/6

presented in class on Wednesday 12/7 IN PERSON in Room VA157

Choosing any one or combination of processes that you have explored during the semester, create a self-portrait. Connect your final self-portrait project to one (or more) of the artists and the readings we learned in class. You may also choose another artist we have not covered in class. You may also incorporate and be inspired by the the spectacle, media, advertising and technology in the exploration and presentation of self. You may use a medium/material/process you have used before but push yourself deeper and ambitiously on your final portrait! Research the artist(s) that inspires you and take time to develop a more ambitious idea inspired by this research.

In addition to completing your self-portrait project you will photograph and post your project to the blog with a written post which includes the images of your work, and an explanation of your project. In class you will present your project in a short 3-5 minute presentation.

WRITING THE POST

*Give your project a title
*Post images of your project. Please use proper lighting, cropping and formatting. If the project is digital, make sure video is working correctly, images appear correctly formatted etc.
*Project description/written post:
   *The writing portion should be 500+ words
   *Explain your process, your inspirations and influences
   *Describe a connection to at least one artist we learned this semester or you have discovered on your own.
   *You must also connect your explanation to the class readings. Incorporate at least 3 of the quotes you have been collecting from the readings each week.
   *Be sure to cite the quotations and include any references/sources at the bottom of your post.

Questions to consider in your writing:

• What is the subject and content of your project?
• Why did you choose this medium and make the choices that led to the composition? How you would categorize your work (ex. collage, graphic print, mixed media, etc).
• Explain the process and steps you went through and why you made those decisions.
• What artist(s) inspired or informed your project?
• What do you think this self portrait conveys to the audience/viewers?
• What are the differences between your first self-portraits (3) and this self-portrait (final)?
• What influenced these changes? Have you pushed yourself and learned from the artists we discussed? How?
• How does the spectacle/media influence identity and self presentation?

Have fun! Push yourself and make something you are proud to share!

SELF PORTRAIT PERFORMANCE (10%)

Design and record a performance art piece: You can expand on your mini performance from last week or create a new one. You must record your performance in a video (at least one minute long). Look to the artists we have learned about in class for inspiration. Concentrate especially on the performance artists but you can take inspiration from anyone. Design and create a performance art piece that addresses a socio-political issue of your choice. Consider many of the themes and issues we have discussed about identity, gender, race and equality, art history, the government, power structures including patriarchy and many more themes in your planning. You can involve other people in your performance. Record your performance in a video. (Still photos are allowed only if you cannot record a video - please reach out in email if this is the case.) You can use music, text or dialogue to augment your performance. You can speak directly to the audience and you can provide context and instructions, or you can provide no words or instructions. This is all up to you.

You may also choose to connect to video performance on platforms like TikTok as a more accessible interpretation of performance. You can choose to mash these familiar performances on social media with the performance artists we learned. Connect clearly to one or more of the artists we have learned. Be sure to describe this connection in your written description.

Written description: In a short piece of writing of ~3-5 paragraphs please explain how this performance addresses the issue(s) you chose and the artist(s) you were inspired by. Use the readings we have done to help this explanation. Reference at least 3 quotes from the readings.

++Push yourself into performance, conceptual art and representation. Get outside your comfort zone and be inspired to create something you would not otherwise. Watch the videos assigned and other resources for inspiration on performance art. Get creative! I am thrilled to see what you all create!

Post your video to the blog (upload your video to YouTube and use the YouTube tool which is next to the image uploader button) with your written description. Be sure to cite your quotes from the readings and connect your performance to an artist.

BONUS (optional): Include one or two of the "instruction pieces" we attempted in class inspired by Yoko Ono. Be silly, serious or strange but get uncomfortable with these :)

WEEKLY SELFIE 4

Thinking about performance as a method of representation and storytelling, create a small performance piece and document it as a video (approximately 1 minute) OR a series of images of the performance (3+ images). This ca be a "trial" or "sketch" for your more complete performance piece due next week. Use the exercise (s) we did in class to help you come up with your concept/story. Look to the work of Yoko Ono and Marina Abramovich and others in the readings and videos from the assignment to push into more conceptual ideas and techniques for your performance. Get creative! Step outside your comfort zone. Post your project (video or still images) to the blog with a short description and 2 quotes from the new readings. Enjoy the process :)

GALLERY RESPONSE ESSAY1

Visit the exhibition Extraordinary Still Life curated by Midori Yoshimoto in the Visual Arts Gallery (basement of VÁ Building).

Look through the exhibition and read all accompanying materials. Take note of the materials the works are made of, the titles, the imagery, the subjects and any descriptions available in the gallery. Choose two artworks that you find compelling. Photograph the works to include in your essay. Describe the two artworks and how they may connect to our class themes of self-portraiture and identity. Write a short response tot he exhibition, it’s themes and the artworks. Connect your response to our class readings. Include 4 quotes from any of our class readings in your essay response.

Create a digital “selfie” inspired by one of the still life artworks in the exhibition. Briefly describe your selfie. How does your selfie speak to your identity? What can it say about you? Include this selfie in your essay post.

~600 words, 3+ images, 4 quotes from class readings, your digital selfie.

Use these questions and the curator’s statement to help guide your response: How might these still life inspired artworks express meaning about identity? Can objects and possessions hold meaning beyond their value and status? How can objects speak about identity, society, history and politics?

Curator's Statement:

The genre of “still life” was established by the time of the Northern Renaissance in the 17th century and usually refers to a painting of inanimate objects arranged on a table or any other surface. Although the still life has been generally ranked below the genres of religious and historical painting, portrait, and landscape in the artistic hierarchy, it never became obsolete and was revived by artists throughout the twentieth century. The exhibition, Extraordinary Still Life, examines the ways in which current artists challenge this familiar genre by representing contemporary subjects or/and using new techniques.

Participating artists are Nake ya Brown, Mia Brownell, Lisa Ficarelli-Halpern, Takashi Horisaki, Phaan Howng, Ashley Lyon, Margaret Murphy, Lina Puerta, Laurie Riccadonna, Jeremiah Teipen
