WESTERN LITERATURE AND THE ARTS II
THE CREATIVE PROJECT
In the previous semester you were introduced to early music, painting, poetry,
and architecture. Now you are being asked to design and complete a work of art
that is yours.
This work may be in any of the arts—music, literature, painting, sculpture,
architecture, photography (NOT SCRAPBOOKING), mosaics, etc.
There are two
stipulations:
1)
The art work must give evidence of a semester’s work in concept,
execution, and presentation.
2)
The art work must be created primarily for beauty, not for utility
(NO PAINTED MAILBOXES OR SWEATSHIRTS, NO CLOCKS, NO FOOTSTOOLS, ETC.).
When you sign and submit your contract, you are pledging yourself to the plan.
Be sure the contract is completed before you turn it in. You will not be allowed
to change the total nature of the project after the contract is signed. For
example, you may change the exact design of a painting, but you may not change
from painting to pottery.
NOTE: EACH STEP MUST BE COMPLETED BEFORE THE NEXT STEP MAY BE TAKEN. You may
not submit your project if you have not presented a progress report, for
instance.
Nor, may you bring a “completed” project to the progress report
conference.
All projects will be presented to the public in the Waddle Recital Hall.
Students must sign in for viewing Monday afternoon or evening (unless otherwise
arranged with instructor)—ten points will be deducted from your project score if
you choose not to view the finished projects. Audio or video performances will be
recorded for playing at intervals when the room is open to the public, and other
works will be displayed on walls or tables.
