• Slide 1/Title Slide:Artist's Name/Artwork; Your Name; Research Project
• Slide 2: Photograph of Artwork and Complete Attribution (Artist's Name, Title (Year), Medium, Dimensions, Current Location) The photograph of the artwork should fill most of the frame

If you received approval on your appropriation artwork based on the sketch summited last week, you may begin work on your final appropriation artwork.  This will be submitted with your binder on May 15^th.  I will be scheduling Progress Check Google Meetings for the week of May 4^th. Some of these will occur during our normally scheduled class time, the remainder will be scheduled for 2 PM. You will need to sign up for at least one session and you should have some work completed on your project so we have something to discuss.  I will send more information when and if this meeting is scheduled.

As for your Appropriation artwork, select a medium that you can work on comfortably at home – this can be a painting, drawing, print, found art sculpture, carving, embroidery project, digital art, etc.  Work with the materials you have available at home and with materials you are comfortable working in.This needs to be an ORIGINAL work of art inspired by the artwork at the center of your research – it is NOT A COPY of this artwork.  It needs to be changed and filtered through your perspective.  There are examples and explanations of some ways to approach this on the PPT posted on Google Classroom.  If you attended last week’s meeting, you hopefully have a good idea how to proceed.  If you still have questions, please email me this week.  This needs to be your BEST WORK.  You need to start this project now.  Do not wait until May 13^th to start or you will not be happy with the grade you receive.

Appropriation Powerpoint and Worksheet

In Art, an appropriation is when we use someone’s artwork as the basis for an original creation.  IT IS NOT COPYING THE ARTWORK.  Instead, it is being inspired by the artwork to create something original.  You can reference the themes of the artwork, borrow the composition (the way the figures or subject matter are placed in the artwork), or imitate the style of the artist.  When we return to school, you will be creating an appropriated artwork based on the artwork at the core of your research project.  To prepare for that, view the Appropriation Power-point posted on Google Classroom and complete the worksheet.  As part of this assignment you will sketch a plan for what you would like to create.  For the finished artwork, you will be able to use any of the supplies I have available in the classroom (acrylic paint, canvas, paper, colored pencils, collage, paper mache) or you may work in another media that you supply. The worksheet and sketch are due April 17^th and can be emailed or posted on Google Classroom. If we return to school prior to this date, please bring the work with you.

World of the Work – Creative Writing Exercise

Use the artwork at the core of your art-based research as the starting point for a creative writing exercise.  Imagine you have stepped through the canvas into the world of this painting.  What do you hear? What do you smell? What conversations are happening? What do you see when you look past the edges of the canvas? What happens next?  You can imagine you are having a conversation with a character in the artwork or are taking a journey through (and beyond) the image.  Be creative, but make sure your work is a direct response to the artwork.  To help you get started, I have posted a worksheet on Google Classroom.  Respond to the questions, and then use your answers as a starting point for the creative writing assignment. 

This draft must be:

• 2 pages minimum
• Double-spaced
• Formatted according to St. Francis de Sales written standards
• Checked for spelling and grammar

Submit your first draft and the worksheet by Thursday, April 9^th.  Your draft will be graded and returned.  Your final version will be submitted with the binder on May 15^th.
