The Senior Boast
Who were Beowulf's demons? How did he overcome them? Through what ways did he share his accomplishments with the world? What objects aided in his conquering his demons? How do those objects represent his struggle?
Through working with both Mr. Ferguson and Mrs. Pratt, you will create a Senior Boast that shares with the world your demons and how you have overcome them through both your written boast and an artwork you create.

Art as a way to tell stories
In class we discussed how artists tell stories through looking at the work of Janine Antoni, Doris Salecedo and Chris Ware. See below for the work we looked at in class.
Homework, due Tuesday, 10/6
1. . Create a bullet list of the major ideas, events, thoughts, objects, locations, people you are including in your boast.
2. Choose a piece from one of the artists listed below or an artist of your choice and write up a short (2-3 paragraphs) analysis of the work. I expect you to share the context of the work (background of artist, information that helps us understand the work, where the work is placed, what it is made out of, historical or contemporary information surrounding the artwork, etc.). as well as an analysis of the work. What story is the artist telling and how do you know that based on what choices the artist made and the context of the work? Your response should be detailed and reference aspects of the artwork to explain your analysis. Include an image of the artwork, the title of the work and the name of the artist in the document as well.
Visit the links listed below and do some Google searching to find artwork of the artists. Write up your analysis in Google Docs and turn it in through Google Classroom.
