NYC art presentations:
The following pieces below are your assignments for oral presentations in New York City next spring. The presentation will be 1/2 of your final. If you have any questions, please send me a message here: HERE.
Regardless of whether you go to New York, you should be ready to present the pieces after spring break time.
Time is your friend. The pieces are assigned almost a year in advance, so you have the time needed to be able to do a 10-15 min presentation on the piece. You have 3 major pieces connected by a central theme.
You are to include:
1. History of the piece
2. Info on the artist/time period, as well as information on the art style
3. other works by the same/similiar artists, relevant pictures.
and:
4. Be able to talk at length in front of a group of 10-20 people
Please check back here over the summer to see the outline for your presentations. The following museums are the ones we will visit, although these are not the only ones...
If you click on the piece of art, it will take you to the collection's webpage on it. That is a great starting point (but not the end of your research).
NOTE: If your piece is not on display, you will do your presentation in the week prior to the trip. It should be noted that at the time of assignment, all pieces were on view. Museums, however, move their work around and loan pieces to other museums. There is no guarantee your work will be "ON VIEW" when we are there...
