Class 22_Homework

Dear Students -
For a Project Brief of the Installation Project Phase One - Model, please consult your notes and blog homework 19. If you would like some feedback on your writing, please send it tomorrow morning so I can send my comments to you in a timely manner.
Sincerely,
Professor Urrutia

Installation and Material Research 

Due: Today
Format: Completed and stored in the Logbook Homework section of your logbook.

Find no less than three artists that do installation work. It would be helpful if these artists do work that is connected to your guiding principle. Find photo examples of their installations and written examples of their ideas (a printed interview or artist statement will do). Paste these into your logbook and let us know in writing [do this in the margins of the printed articles] what you think about each sample and how these examples are helping you think about your installation. Additionally, form an opinion as to whether or not you think the work is successful and why. Look to Art in America or Sculpture magazines if your Google search comes up without results. Don't forget that a lot of museum sites are also great artist information resources. If you still can't find anything, please be sure to ask Sylvia in the library. She is very SMART and resourceful! 

Additionally, collect and read/annotate research materials that relate to your topic and direction. Photographic evidence of these materials will suffice as proof of your efforts and may be stored behind the new prescription page for this work [see c19_a1 Homework]. If you are installing outside, remember that your search should include materials that can withstand a multitude of weather conditions. Photos of materials left outside as experiment to how they will hold up could be excellent demonstrations of the planning segment of the sequential creative process. Consider at a minimum 3 new materials.
Sincerely,
Professor Urrutia

Installation Proposal Worksheet
Due: Friday, April 13th
Format: Complete the Installation Proposal Worksheet started in class. Store in the Logbook Homework section of your binder. Click here for a worksheet link if you have lost yours or didn't come to class.

Complete the worksheet using separate sheets of papers. This worksheet will be the cover sheet for any work done for this assignment. All work corresponding to completing this worksheet should be stored directly behind this handout.

Installation Model

Due: Tuesday, April 17th
Format: Three-Dimensional installation representation (model) that is physically present at the beginning of class, 2:00pm.

Make a small-scale model that recreates the space you propose to use for your installation project. This model should have the proportions of the space it represents as well as walls and ground that create the illusion of what that space looks like in real time. In addition, include any colors and textures of said space as much as reasonably possible, so that the critique group can view and comprehend your vision clearly. In other words, in your absence, someone should be able to identify your model space without written or verbal explanation. Viewers should also be able to understand exactly what will be going on in said space. 

Model making creates an opportunity for testing ideas concerning space choice and gives insight as to what exactly will be happening within said space, including the role viewers will have as they navigate through it. All of the details in your worksheet should be apparent in the model (maquette) you bring to class.

Installation Model - Outline of Intention

Due: Tuesday, April 17th
Format: Typed in Bulleted form, printed and brought with you to class

Make an outline that details the points below. Some points may be more than one sentence and that is okay:
  • First paragraph - this should be the latest version of your guiding principle
  • Write a few sentences that reveal any research that led you to the way you are thinking about installation. 
  • Make a list of components that make up your composition. Link each element of the composition to the content of your guiding statement.
  • Briefly explain how the space surrounding your composition relates and is integral to the materials within. In other words, how does the space of your installation deliver meaning that relates to your topic?
  • Briefly explain how viewers/audience are meant to interact with, engage with, or become part of the installation.
  • Give details as to how viewers will experience and navigate through the composition. In other words, how will your audience know what to do within?

Installation Titles & Critique Questions
Due: Tuesday, April 17th
Format: See Below

Part 1
Format: One for each image. Print and cut out so that you can place them by the photo they reference. At least 3"x5". Also, print out your questions

Titles offer an additional way to add meaning to your work. A title is an opportunity to create an additional layer of meaning, content, or context. Titles should compliment or be in contrast to the work you develop. It should not be obvious, redundant, or simply restate what the audience can easily figure out by viewing the work. Each title should also include your name like the example below:

Be sure to print and cut out a title card for each work. Use the label function of word. Select 5315 Note card and the program will create space to make at least [3] cards. Include the following on each card:
Your Name
Title
Installation Model


Part 2
Format: as a typed printed document with the proper heading as outlined in the syllabus. At least [3] questions.

You worked on this in the worksheet phase of this project's development. Prepare at least two questions to ask the critique group. Questions should be direct and specific, addressing areas of the work in such a way that will elicit responses that can help you figure out how to expand ideas or resolve issues in your work. The questions you develop should require responses beyond yes and no. Please do not prepare questions that can be answered with yes or no. Likewise, your questions should not be a ploy to convince your audience to agree with your point of view or opinion.
