Student Multi Media Comparative Presentations

Using Stokstad's introduction "Starter Kit" in our text, we have become familiar with how to deconstruct and analyze any piece of visual work, whether ancient or made yesterday.

This is an opportunity for you to put your skills together and demonstrate the knowledge gleaned and present it in a class setting.

Student presentations will be on

TU NOV 06 2018 Student Multi Media Presentations

TH NOV 08 2018 Student Multi Media Presentations

In your presentations, you will create a comparative analysis between two forms.

Process
Part ONE
1. Select one image from our text from Chapter 1 through Chapter 16.

NOTE: You may not use my examples, nor any of the student examples noted below.

2. Your second image is to be found from the world of images made in the last century, between 1918 - 2018

They may be similar in subject matter or solely similar in their formal qualities.

Part TWO
Making use of the formal elements and principles of design, speak about the comparison between two forms:

1. How are they are alike?

Explain this through four of the elements of design below.

ELEMENTS of DESIGN
Line
Shape
Color
Volume and mass
Space
Texture
Value

How do the elements function in your two selected works?

Explain by the use of 2 of the Principles of Design below.

PRINCIPLES of DESIGN
Unity - Variety / harmony
Balance - symmetry / asymmetrical / radial / occult
Emphasis - Focal Point
Pattern
Scale
Rhythm and repetition
Contrast
Visual Movement - direction / visual weight and visual speed

Part THREE
1. Students will be drawn randomly of who will present first, second, third, etc.
Your images must sit on a slide side by side, as indicated in these examples.

2. Organize your two examples side by side.
It can be a PPT or any other multimedia presentation format you wish.
Email me the digital file to jpepper@cazenovia.edu by 9:00 am on November 6th.

You must include on the slide:

Your full name
The details of the two works:
Artist/designer, title, date, dimensions (if you don't know the artist/designer type in Unknown)

Your presentation, at a minimum, will include 4 formal elements and 2 principles of design in your 5-minute presentation.

Think of one minute for each Formal Element. And one minute to discuss the Principles of Design.

Evaluation:
As stated in the syllabus, the presentation class exercise will contribute to 5% of your overall grade.
