ART PROJECT: DUE MONDAY MAY 24TH, 2010
This project is EXTREMELY important and represents an entire 25% of your final grade. This absolutely must represent your best work. Late projects WILL NOT BE ACCEPETD FOR CREDIT! In addition, poor effort and poor writing (misspellings, typos, grammar mistakes, etc.) will be severely penalized.
Using the films and discussions and assignments that we have covered in class as inspiration you will create a pairing of TWO works of art that exemplifies and/or questions the artistic paradigms of both Jarmusch and the Coen Brothers.
ONE WORK OF ART MUST exemplify and/or question THE ARTISIC PARADIGM OF THE COEN BROTHERS AND ONE MUST exemplify and/or question THE ARTISIC PARADIGM OF JIM JARMUSCH. Works could potentially each exemplify/question both paradigms at once.
For each of the two works that make up your pairing you must have a minor essay in paragraph form, explaining the subject matter, imagery, and WHAT IT IS AND HOW YOU ARE EXPRESSING IT. (i.e. “This work exemplifies the Artistic paradigm of the Coen Brothers by.... and by...... and further shown with the color and angle of.......juxtaposed with the expression and of......and the package of Huggies.”) Also explain what inspired you to create it, and your own opinion/judgment of the particular work.
2. One meta essay in which you discuss at least ALL of the following in paragraph form.
What is the artistic paradigm of Jim Jarmusch and the Coen Brothers? Give examples from the films we have seen to prove your points. What about them do you wish to exemplify and/or question and why?
What do you feel are your strengths and weakness of your two pieces.
What is your own creative process? What were your inspirations, false starts, problems, successes and struggles? Describe it in detail as best you can.
How would you describe your own artistic style?
3. Your pairing of pieces MUST include the following:
One piece of visual art. (painting, collage, drawing, photo, sculpture, etc.)
One “other” piece: This piece can be anything from a poem, short story, short film, original musical performance, interpretive dance or piece of visual art of a different style/type than the other part of your pair.
