art writing assignment 8

/by

FRAMING:

This week’s theme was Art and Activism.  Lectures and reading examined the ways in which Second Wave feminism influenced the production of art by feminist artists, particularly in the 1970s .  We took a closer look at the career of Ana Mendieta.  We also encountered readings that considered art activism along a racial axis.  This week’s writing will challenge you to link the theoretical portions of the reading with specific examples of artwork.  Thus, it will rely on your having become familiar with this week’s selections of art.  

INSTRUCTIONS:  

Pick one of the prompts below and write an essay (400-700 words) in response in formal academic English.  (So basically, your best grammar, punctuation and spelling; citations for quoted materials; paragraphing; and an internal structure to the essay—e.g., intro, body, conclusion.)  For citations, please use footnotes or endnotes.  

If you are unfamiliar with footnote citation systems, please consult online resources that explain them. The Turabian system and the University of Chicago system are nearly identical.  The websites linked below organize the material in different ways; so, consult the one you find more readable:  https://www.library.georgetown.edu/tutorials/research-guides/turabian-footnote-guide (Links to an external site.) OR http://www.press.uchicago.edu/books/turabian/turabian_citationguide.html (Links to an external site.)

PROMPTS [only two choices this week.  as always, pick the one that interests you!]

Please underline the thesis of your paper.  And cut and paste the prompt you select at the top of your essay!  Thank you.  

  1. You are the Curator!  You are the curator for your local art museum in your hometown.  The Museum Director has asked you to prepare an introductory statement of about 400-700 words for an upcoming exhibit on Feminist Art.  The Director has asked that your statement feel like a brief essay and should even include footnotes where appropriate.  In your first paragraph, please provide a summary statement that defines some of the main characteristics of art associated with the Feminist Art movement.  In your next two paragraphs, provide a brief biographical profile of two artists (one artist per paragraph). Do not simply cut and paste the information from the source. Use your own words.   By citing two pieces of art done by each artist, explain how the artist’s work fits the model of feminist art.  (Cite to the website when relevant to do so.)
