write a 3-4 page paper in which you reflect on how museums structure our aesthetic experiences.
Overall descriiption of the museum/gallery environment (how are artworks displayed; what kind of atmosphere is created by lighting, space, informational plaques?). Thoughtful and detailed discussion of Firelei Báez art – “Given the ground ( the fact that it amazes me does not mean I relinquish it)” identify title and artist; give descriiption of piece; use the museum label to gain information about the artwork, and use your own observations and critical commentary; reflection on how the artwork interacts with its display environment. Be sure to incorporate some aspect from the articles attached in your reflection.

For your final project, you may choose your own project, any format, any genre to combine art and activism. Please read this article for inspiration:

You should take into consideration the design elements as outlined previously in the course:
1. line
2. shape
3. color
4. texture
5. pattern/rhythm
6. proportion/scale
7. space/focal point/depth
Your artistic statement (at least 200 words) should include your discussion of these terms as well as what your message to the world is in your project.
Some suggested creative projects (if you’re looking for direction):
–a photographic series (minimum 3-5 images)
–a painting
–a drawing
–a meal (try cooking a meal from your cultural heritage and/or the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage listing)
–a video

Due to many museums closing due to Covid a couple of years ago, they made some very fun challenges for people to do at home and participate!
You’re going to do exactly that!
It all started with this instagram account: https://www.instagram.com/tussenkunstenquarantaine/

People Recreate Works of Art With Objects Found at Home During Self-Quarantine

Here are some Guidelines for you:
Choose something “Historical” This piece should be AT LEAST 50 years old. You can go as far back as possible. Use the virtual museums link.
Use photography, people/ pets around you and found objects and settings to recreate the artwork.
I would start with thinking and looking around to see what you can use and then start searching for artworks. I would have a few selected at first.You may have to go back and forth and compare between what you have around and what artwork you are able to recreate to the best of your ability.
Here are some things to pay close attention to:
Characters and objects in the chosen artwork (representative) or shapes and sizes (abstract). How many can you get close? Start with a minimum of 3 and go from there.
Setting. (background, foreground)
Color and Texture. (objects around, clothes they are wearing, etc.)
Lighting. (Which direction is the light coming from? How intense is it?)
Perspective, Framing (cropping).
You will get more points as close as you can get it and to what complexity you went for.
You are not allowed to recreate the artwork using the traditional art materials. You may use a teeny-tiny bit of paint/ art stuff or photoshop. That should be less than 5% of the work put into it.
Part 1
A picture of the original artwork with a label and a picture of the new reproduction with a label.
Part 2
2-3 Sentences describing your process.
Get Creative and don’t be shy!
REMINDER Label all artworks like this
The artist’s name (In Bold)
The title of the work, Year (Title is capitalized and in Italic, year is not Italicized)
The medium of the work
The size or duration of the work
For example:
Vincent van Gogh
The Starry Night, 1889
Oil on canvas
73.7 cm × 92.1 cm (29 in × 36¼ in)
Show Vocabulary
Use as much vocabulary as possible from your book (and even outside sources)! Make all vocabulary words used Bold. YOU NEED TO HAVE BOLD
For Example:
The artist used implied lines through the eye contact between Jack and Jill to show the connection between them.
