Chem/Art Semester 1 Integrated Art Final
For your final for your Integrated Art class, you must create a piece of art that reflects a key learning moment of yours from this semester. What is the most significant thing you learned and why is it important?
Your project must:
· Reflect a key moment of learning from this semester. What was that “aha!” moment?
· Analyze and reflect on your key moment of learning. Why was it so significant? Why does it matter? How will this moment of learning influence your learning in the future?
· Visually represent the learning. Your artwork can contain some text, but should predominately reflect your ideas visually (which is a key learning we worked on in Integrated Art!)
· A well composed, creative, thoughtful examination of the your ideas
· Strong craftsmanship
· Media of your choice (talk to Mrs. Pratt for ideas if you need help!). Consider a media that relates to your ideas!
· Pre-approved sketch/plan. Your sketch/plan should include a detailed sketch (full page, detail, color) and written explanation. You may not start on your final project without pre-approval of your plan! If you want to start over break, email me your plan (photo of sketch and written explanation)
Your project must also include a cohesive artist statement (written in essay form) that includes the following:
· What was your key moment of learning from the semester? Why was this such an important “aha!” moment?
· How will this moment of learning influence your learning in the future?
· How are you visually representing your key learning moment in your artwork? Get specific and talk about specific things in the artwork and what they represent.
· Why did you choose the media that you did?
· Reflect on the integrated artwork that we did this semester (Sketchbooks, Density Project, Periodic Table, as well as looking at artwork). What new perspectives did it give you on the content from Chemistry?
Your final project and statement is due to Mrs. Pratt by Thursday, December 18.
Please keep in mind that your plan for your project must be preapproved by Mrs. Pratt before you can begin work on your project!
Ideally your plan would be approved no later than Friday, December 5
No exceptions, no late work accepted. Remember that your final is worth 20% of your grade!
If you need a spark, consider looking at artists that inspire you!
Art resources:
These sites are great sources of a variety of artwork, both historical and contemporary
Below are artists who deal with science (and even math!) in their work in different ways. Although they may not deal all with Chemistry concepts, they show you different ways that scientific and mathematical concepts can be interpreted into visual art.
All of these artists below are Art21 artists, so you can find them on Art21's website (link given) or by also Googling them. At the Art21 site, you can see examples of their work, interviews with the artist and more. However all of these artists have done much more than what is featured on Art21, so feel free to google them if you like their work!
Mathematics
Additional (non-Art21 artists) who deal with scientific concepts in their work
Consider also looking at your visual journal examples from the Chem/Art Sketchbook website to give you ideas about how you can visualize your concept
