Postmodernism and Deconstructivism · Yasomasa Morimura · Daniel Libeskind · David Salle Questions Once you’ve selected the 10 artists you would like to focus on, you’ll need to research answers to the following seven questions or question groups: (Do not refer to artists by their first name; only their full name or last name) (Do not use clipart in the project) (Only images of the artworks discussed should be included) 1. What’s the year of the artist’s birth (and, where applicable, death)? 2. Where was the artist born? Where did he or she create the majority of his or her work (if at a different location than this place of birth)? 3. What medium did the artist use? Did he or she use more than one main medium? 4. Which art movement did the artist contribute to? If he or she contributed to more than one movement, where did this artist make the greatest impact? 5. What are some of the artist’s most famous works of art? Choose one of these works. In what ways is the piece characteristic of the movement specified above? (Include an image of the chosen piece.)(All images of artwork must include attribution information below the image) 6. What challenges, if any, did the artist face that may have affected his or her work? What was happening in the world at that time that influenced the artist’s work? 7. What’s innovative about the artist’s work for that time period? You'll then write an APA-formatted essay that contains a title page, a brief introduction and conclusion, in-text citations supporting your research, and a reference list. Answer each question using complete sentences. The essay should be a minimum of 1,200 words. However, most students finish the project in about 2,000 words. Answer the questions in essay format; do not answer them in list format. You’ll need to find at least one source for each artist from the internet, a library, or elsewhere. Be sure to use reputable sources when searching for information on your selected artists. Writing Guidelines 1. Your essay should be a minimum of 1,200 words. 2. Your essay should be double-spaced, with 1" margins and 12-point Times New Roman font. 3. Your entire project should be contained in one (1) Microsoft Word or Rich Text Format file. 4. Your essay should include a cover page and works cited page using APA formatting.

Bookmark and save all URLs. List all sources cited in your essay (including images). Begin your list on a new page after your conclusion paragraph. List sources alphabetically by author’s last name (or title if author is unknown). Capitalize the first word of the title plus all major words except articles and prepositions. Titles of books and websites are in italics while articles, postings, or smaller works are set in quotation marks. You’ll need to list your course textbook, any other texts that you used, pieces of art you referenced, and websites you consulted. Below are four basic formats to work from: Author last name, first initial. Middle initial. (Year published). Title of work. Location: publisher. Author last name, first initial. Middle initial. (Year published). Title of article. Title of periodical, volume (issue), page range. Author last name, first initial. (Year, month of date published). Title of webpage. Retrieved (date) from URL. Artist. (Year). Title [Description of material]. Retrieved (date) from URL. For example, your works cited page might look like this: References Art Movements. (n.d.). Retrieved April 17, 2018 from https://artsandculture.google.com/. Evans, Heather. 2011. Cairo [graphite on paper]. Retrieved April 17, 2018 from https://walldogmurals.weebly.com/. Getlein, M. (2016). Living with Art (11th ed.). Boston: McGraw-Hill. SP1728 HOW TO USE THIS WORKSHEET: This worksheet is designed to help you with structuring and researching your project. On each page, use the guide to help you identify answers to all seven required questions. There are also places to include your citations and reference list items as you complete your research. Keep in mind that you need to also review the Graded Project Outline for all information on submission requirements, formatting, and grading rubric. This worksheet doesn’t need to be turned in and should serve only as a tool to help you in prepar- ing your research for writing your essay. **THIS IS NOT A SUBSTITUTION FOR THE FINAL PROJECT. THIS IS A TOOL TO HELP YOU IN ORGANIZING YOUR RESEARCH. Here are the answers to some frequently asked questions about the Final Project to better assist you in completing your project: You’ll select 10 artists, one from each listed movement. You’ll then compose an essay answering the seven required questions for each of your chosen artists. You should be able to cover the required information in one paragraph per artist. Therefore, your essay will be at least 10 paragraphs, one on each artist, and each paragraph will answer all seven questions listed on the project outline. If you would like, you may also include an introduction at the beginning of the essay that introduces the general topic of Modern art and a conclusion at the end that sums up the general information we covered. The introduction and conclusion aren’t required. In addition to updating and including the required citations and APA formatting, a common error students make isn’t answering all of the required questions for each artist. Make sure to address each question, including ones that might not be applicable for an artist. Some questions have multiple parts, and all parts need to be addressed to receive full credit. An example of providing complete information is question six. The question is: O What challenges did the artist face that would have affected their work? Think analytically. O What was happening in the world at the time the artist was active that would have impacted the content of their artwork? If you feel the artist did not face any significant challenges or changes in their life, you might state: This artist faced no significant challenges during their lifetime (during their career, to date, etc.). However, you should discuss world events that would have impacted the artists’ work based on the time they were most active and the works of art you’re discussing. Keep in mind that you’ll need to use reputable sources. Wikipedia isn’t considered a reputable source. If you have questions about a source, please ask. Another common misconception is that there’s a 1000-1200-word limit. This is a minimum, not a maximum. Most students finish the assignment in around 2000 words. PF Blue + Charcoal PF Blue + White SP1728(1909) APA FORMATTING: It’s required that your project be written in APA format. This means it will have an APA formatted title page, in-text citations, and a reference list in alphabetical order. If you don’t understand what APA formatting is, please ask your instructor. RESOURCES FOR APA FORMATTING: As indicated, your title page, in-text citations, and the reference page are to be in APA format. Here are links to both the Writer’s Block on the Penn Foster Library page and for the Perdue OWL: http://pflibrary.pennfoster.edu/writersblockhomepage https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/research_and_citation/apa_style/apa_style_introduction.html These are excellent resources for addressing how to format your paper into APA format. For each outside source used in your essay, there should be a corresponding reference on your reference page. A good rule of thumb is that if you haven’t cited a source in the body of your paper, it won’t be included on your reference list. Only sources you cite as an in-text citation will be listed on the reference list. Please remember that the reference page will be in APA format and organized alphabetically. IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT THE USE OF QUOTES AND PARAPHRASED MATERIAL: QUOTES: Only short quotations should be used for this project, and only one quote per artist should be used if it absolutely supports the context of your research.
