https://nocturnehalifax.ca/projects/#virtual
The goal for this assignment is to demonstrate observation and contextualization skills by crafting an introduction to a single artwork or piece of visual culture in Halifax. Students will use approaches covered in class to convey the pertinent details of the selected work to a reader and to offer an analysis of the work in context.
YOUR TASK
Write and submit a 750-word introduction to a work of contemporary art found in Halifax now. Introductions should include, but are not limited to:
– Credit information about the work (artist name, title, date, medium, dimensions or other measure, location or site)
– A single representative image (with proper credit information)
– Biographical information about the artist and basic information about any organizations (e.g. gallery or group) involved in the presentation
– Description of the artwork and presentation context (e.g. exhibition, location)
– Analysis of the work in context
– Explanation of connection to Nocturne theme (Echolocation) or other works in the same exhibition/context.
FORMAT
– Submit your project in a single word doc. with image embedded and sized to fit. Single spaced with standard margins.
– Total file size should be no greater than 2MB.
– Place your name, student number, course and date at the top of the first page and in the footer of each subsequent page
– While sources other than the artwork and Nocturne program guide are not necessary, you must include a bibliography and footnotes if sources are used. Follow Chicago Manual of Style.
TIPS
– This is a formal assignment: grammar, spelling, and proper use of the English language are essential.
– Avoid abbreviations and colloquialisms unless explained in the context of your writing.
– This is not a critique or a presentation of an argument. Imagine you are explaining the artwork to someone who hasn’t had the chance to see it.
Students are encouraged to select a work from among those presented in Nocturne 2020: Echolocation, curated by Lindsay Dobbin, held October 12-17 in Halifax.
