art history:VISUAL ANALYSIS PAPER

/in /by

One of the more traditional assignments students encounter in an introductory Art

History class is to write a visual (formal) analysis paper. This assignment, which is

based on the student’s visit to the Lowe Art Museum on the University of Miami campus

in Coral Gables, whose permanent collection contains Greek pottery from the time

period that we are studying in Unit 2, requires students to trace the development of

Greek pottery, by examining the various techniques and quality of naturalism that

evolved over the course of approximately four centuries.

Students will select four objects in the collection to analyze: one (1) from the Geometric

period; one (1) from the Orientalizing period; one (1) object utilizing the black-figure

technique; and one (1) utilizing the red-figure technique. Pay close attention to each of

the object’s stylistic features, describing each element and integrating into your

analyses comparisons to object(s) we have studied in the textbook or in lecture from the

PowerPoints. When selecting objects to compare the Lowe museum pieces to, be

discerning. That is, try to find objects that share more characteristics than not.

The aim of this 5-7 page (excluding printed imagery of the objects, which may be either

wrapped in the text or placed at the end of the document and labeled), double-spaced,

typed assignment is for students to develop an eye for style and locate the subtle

differences that distinguish one technique or tendency from another. As such, the

paper should be organized with an introductory paragraph, body, and conclusion. The

introduction may include some general information (e.g., historical, economic, cultural)

about the objects’ specific time period(s), and the technique(s) utilized to create the

object(s). More importantly, the introduction should include a thesis statement.

Be sure to organize the body in a logical, analytic fashion, and conclude the paper with

some remarks about the significance of the objects — that is, how they fit into a larger

Greco-Roman art historical framework. Remember, this is NOT a research paper;

however, if you quote a source (e.g., a placard or web site from the museum), be

certain to include a citation.

“Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and right doing,

there is a field.

I will meet you there.

When the soul lies down in that grass,

the world is too full to talk about.

Ideas, language, even the phrase ‘each other’

doesn’t make any sense.”  – Rumi

 

Rumi’s words are powerful but more importantly they transcend all cultures, all religions and, as we have seen, they also transcend time.  For this week’s discussion. I encourage you to search for more online (see links below).  

Instructions:

1. Choose one of Rumi’s poems that speaks and resonates with you. This should not be hard, trust me, you”ll feel it as soon as you read it, his words  have a way of choosing you.

2. Share that piece with us, tell us why you chose it. Please post either the entire poem, or a specific section that you want to share.

3. DISCUSS IN YOUR OWN WORDS: Why you think Rumi’s works are so timeless; as you’ve seen, he has inspired many of today’s artists; why do you think his words still resonate with us today in the 21st century?

4. What does Rumi teach us about Eastern philosophy and what are the big ideas and values we can take away from his work?

Here are a some links where you can find more of Rumi’s poetry or you can just google “Rumi” and/or “Rumi poetry.” Once you google these terms, search through images, they have many quotes for you to look at that way.

ECON HISTORY ESSAY

/in /by

Coursework for SSES0024 – Economic History & Ideas

 

The coursework for this module is to be an essay written in continuous prose, containing up to a maximum of 2500 words. It is due on 12th December. The content of the coursework will be a critical review of two books selected from a list (see below). The list contains books of various authors that have divergent views on economic history, although broadly speaking they can be split into three broad groups depending on which aspect takes primacy in their explanations of economic history: geography, culture and institutions. The books on our list could be thus split as follows:

 

Geography Culture/Ideas Institutions
Diamond (1998)

Pomeranz (2000)

 Clark (2008)

Landes (1998)

Mokyr (2002)

 Acemoglu & Robinson (2011)

Allen (2009)

Kuran (2011)

 

 

Please choose two books from the eight below. You can choose any two books under the one rule that they must not both belong in the same column in the table above. Listed under each book title are a few book reviews that you can and should use in writing your essay. These are reviews written by academics and they should give you an idea about how a critique is done and what to criticize. You should definitely read them and cite them in your coursework. You may also find some more academic reviews on your own (please stick to academic journals and if you are unsure whether a particular review is fair game, email me). You will also note that some of the book authors also appear elsewhere as book reviewers. That makes for another interesting aspect of the whole exercise. It may be a good idea to read some of the (shortest) book reviews before you pick your two titles.

 

Now, what exactly am I looking for, what am I expecting in your coursework? What will earn you a 70+/100 on this assignment? Here are a few tips:

· Your coursework should contain a brief overview of what’s in each book. Notice how some of the reviews summarize the content even chapter by chapter.

· Make sure you capture the underlying logic of each book’s argument correctly and honestly. You want to capture the essence of the argument but also say something about the nuance the author is capable of. You must be able to read between the lines and tease out some of the unspoken assumptions on which the author relies. Your coursework should say a few things about what kind of evidence the authors use and what inferences they draw from them.

· Once you are done describing the books, say something about the book’s reception by the academic profession. This is where the book reviews come in. What do the reviewers criticize? Do they have a point? Sometimes, you can look up the reviewers themselves (through Google Scholar) and see where they themselves stand in their own research on some of these issues discussed in the books.

· It would be great if, by the end of your coursework, you could spell out which of the authors you side with (or whether you reject both of them). This is where you can make your own case, having reviewed the evidence in both books as well as the critique presented by other scholars.

 

Good luck and have fun.

Exhibition proposal

/in /by

For this assignment, students are asked to imagine themselves as a curator of Ancient or Medieval Art (prehistory to ca. 1300 CE). In this role, you will select five (5) artworks that fit a selected theme and propose an exhibition of those artworks. Your exhibition may compare works across time and cultures, but a good curatorial thesis will remain focused and narrow in its scope (for instance, comparing the idealized male form in Egypt, Greece, and Rome would be too much for this project. But looking at Archaic Greece in comparison to Classical Greece is appropriate). Themes may be cultural, stylistic, or even based in a discussion of material – any uncertainty should be discussed with your instructor. This assignment requires scholarly research.

The written component of this project should be 500-750 words, or 2-3 pages, in length. Please limit your papers to 3 pages; a too-long paper needs more assertive revision to clarify the main thesis and supporting arguments. Use 11.5 or 12-point font, preferably Times. Double space your text and use 1” margins. Number each page starting on page 2. No cover page is necessary. In the top right corner of the first page include your last name, date, and section number single spaced. Proofread your paper before submission.

PART ONE: CURATORIAL THESIS STATEMENT (60% of grade)

The Big Idea

A successful exhibition tells a good story and facilitates a productive encounter between the objects displayed and the viewer. Your exhibition should help the audience engage with the ancient and medieval art world in an interesting and coherent way. How you select, juxtapose, and describe your objects will frame the argument you make in your exhibition.

Museum professionals use a curatorial thesis to communicate their vision when they plan and execute exhibitions. A curatorial thesis is a statement of what an exhibition is about. Topics are incomplete thoughts; the thesis tells you why the topic is important and what it explains about the world.

Write a brief curatorial argument (500-750 words) to introduce the thesis of your exhibition. A good introductory essay presents the objects in your exhibition in historical context. Your essay should address a central theme/question/problem: for example, if your exhibition treats aspects of the funerary arts in ancient Egypt, you might first introduce your selected artworks generally as artistic and cultural artifacts. Then you should contextualize those objects: how were the objects created, viewed or used? The challenge of an introductory essay is to remain specific, that is, focused on the objects as unique, material, historical and original artworks. Yet your introductory essay should also examine the broader social, political, and/or economic significance of the artworks. In a sense, your essay must restore to the artworks the original context that the museum environment often lacks. The more vivid and detailed your essay, the more your reader will understand how artworks interacted with their social contexts. Finally, your essay must address the specific critical problem/question posed by the exhibition. You may need supporting maps, diagrams, drawings, or works of art to make your exhibition interesting, educational, and informative.

Please note, a thesis is not the same as a theme. Your theme may be something general (i.e., Egyptian sarcophagi) but your thesis should be much more focused – what specifically are you trying to communicate about that theme? Curatorial statements without a clear, one-sentence thesis in the introductory paragraph will be penalized one letter grade (10 points).

PART TWO: OBJECTS FOR EXHIBITION (20% of grade; 4 points per image)

Over the course of the semester, you have encountered a large and diverse collection of ancient art objects. Make a list of five (5) objects you plan to include in your exhibition. Keep in mind that you will be responsible for briefly interpreting each object as it relates to your curatorial thesis; the selected objects are your support/evidence. Your images, along with complete identification information [title, creator- if known, date, dimensions, and materials (one point per item)] and current location should be submitted as an appendix to the Curatorial Introduction.

Remember: Your exhibition must be able to stand on its own. Viewers should be able to work out the connection between objects independently of any words. Do not simply illustrate an argument.

For examples of online exhibitions, see:

  • The Heilbrunn Timeline of Art History (http://www.metmuseum.org/toah/hi/te_index.asp?i=15 (Links to an external site.))
  • The Freer and Sackler (http://www.asia.si.edu/exhibitions/online.asp (Links to an external site.))

PART THREE: BIBLIOGRAPHY (20% of grade; 4 points per source)

Research Guidelines

This assignment requires scholarly research. A bibliography including a minimum of five (5) peer-reviewed, scholarly sources related to your Curatorial Thesis (not specific artworks) should be included with your final submission. Bibliographies may be formatted in the manual of style you are most comfortable with (Chicago, MLA, APA), but you must be consistent.

Please note textbooks, encyclopedias, blogs, museum websites, videos, etc. are NOT peer-reviewed, scholarly resources and will not be accepted.
