Installation Art, Conceptual Art, and Street/Activist Art are considered both postmodern and contemporary Critique an art movement of your choice from the early 20th century – Make a double page spread

The final destination for all work must be in your art journal – but you may use your Ipad and then print. Consider a clear but interesting layout – see art magazines for inspiration

 Find an art movement or two that you are interested in studying and create moodboards of several/many collected images  You will perform a critique for the overall stylistic approach of the movement on the same page as the images:

On the same page of the Moodboard do the following: 1. Basic Contextual Information – include a movements that lead up to the one you chose. Go to the Art Story for assistance.

2. Describe the symbols and imagery used

3. Analyze for elements and principles of design and the rules for making the works

4. Interpret for meaning and function – what are the rules for joining the movement? What are they responding to? . Include the manifesto and annotate or include an article and annotate – be sure to cite sources

5. Judge and Connect – . Connect – explain how can you connect to the ideas of the movement? How will you connect to the of the work? - this may be with , diagrams, and writing!

On a new double page spread: Visually respond and make a visual proposal (this could be that same thing, if not, make a proposal after you write your manifesto below  Create a visual response, describing connections to the movement but also showing new ideas that fit into your theme.  Use this chart to clearly state how you will respond to the movement Work Studying Work Creating Materials Materials Technique Technique Composition Composition Meaning Meaning Function Function

Write/attach a manifesto for your art movement (your first artist statement)  Create a New Movement (by yourself or in small groups)  Name it what you want or (neo….)  Address what your group believes, what it does not believe in, and what rules of expression it will follow. You will need to address rules on o Materials, o Techniques, o Composition, o Meaning, and o Function of the art produced See this link to brief descriptions of different movements: https://www.royalacademy.org.uk/article/ten-game-changing-manifestos

Testers: Have you shown skill development to this point? If not – you should do more media exploration and create a refined proposal.
