ART 105 Purdue Global Importance in Art Museum Project

This assignment was designed to prompt you to visit an art museum with a substantial collection of non-Western art in person, and identify the concepts of a medium, context or function, content or subject matter, style and formal elements in actual works of art.
Directions
Please read this “Art Museum Project” page and the “Grading Criteria” page before visiting your museum of choice.
1. Visit an art museum and submit proof of attendance (photo of yourself in front of the museum or a museum sign, scanned brochure or recent schedule of events, dated admission or gift shop receipt). For a list of area museums with non-Western collections, please see the Sources of Museum Visit page below. If you live outside the Washington DC, Northern Virginia, Richmond, Baltimore or Norfolk metro area, please contact your instructor for ideas for museum visits, or approval for a virtual visit.
2. Choose three (3) art works that appeal to you. Take notes* on your works at the museum, thinking about the artist’s use of color, form, composition, space, line, materials, size, scale, texture, etc. What ideas are expressed? How do form and content work together? What was/is the work’s function? Be sure to write down all the works’ information provided on the wall label (artist, title, date, etc.). Take a photo of your works if allowed.* You should plan to spend at least 15-20 minutes observing your chosen art works.
*NOTE: Please be aware of proper museum etiquette. Never touch or stand too close to an art work. Some museums will not allow flash photography or photography of any kind, or the use of pens/pencils. Find out what your museum’s policies are when you enter.
3. When you get home from the museum, you will do some research on the works you chose at the museum. See if you can find out more about the works using scholarly resources, including background, when and where the works were created, why they were created, and by or for whom. Other important aspects of the work’s content and context are: What is its importance and meaning? How does it reflect the ideas of the period or culture that produced it? You can formulate a theory about the work, offer an interpretation of it, or compare and contrast it to a work from our textbook. If you cannot find reliable, scholarly information on the specificworks you found at the museum, see if you can find general information on the type of work you found i.e. Mende masks, Chinese Song period scroll paintings, Indian Rajput miniature paintings, etc. Try to find at least one source per artwork (minimum of 3 sources).
4. You will then write a minimum 3-page paper on the THREE artworks from the museum you visited.

Your paper must include proper identification of each of the three artworks (artist if known, title if applicable, date if known, medium, culture or country of origin).
Your paper must include a discussion of:

the culture/style/movement each work fits into
the medium (materials) of the work
purpose or function of the work (how it was used by the culture that produced it)
a discussion of 2-3 formal elements related to each work you discuss

Your paper must also include an introduction and a conclusion, a heading, and proper grammar/spelling/sentence structure. Any sources used in your research must be properly cited. Please use the Art Museum Project Grading Criteria as a checklist as you write your paper to ensure that ALL required information is included in each section of your paper.
Include photo or proof of museum visit (Visual Record).
Include photos or images of your artworks, if possible.
Save your file in a Word format (.doc, .docx, or .rtf) and submit your paper. Please do not use Google Drive or Google Docs thank you.
