Welcome to Advanced Placement Art History! Your summer reading assignment involves reading historical novels. Don’t be surprised by how much you enjoy the reading. These are great books! July 30 Report:
Select ONE “Free Choice” selection:
THE BIOGRAPHY OF FRIDA KAHLO by Hayden Herrera
GIRL WITH A PEARL EARRING by Tracey Chevalier
FORGER’S SPELL by Edward Dolnick
THE PASSION OF ARTEMISIA by Susan Vreeland
DEVIL IN THE WHITE CITY by Erik Larson
THE GENIUS IN THE DESIGN by Jake Morrissey BRUNELLESCHI’S DOME by Ross KIng
Do NOT exceed two pages. I value quality over quantity. Do not regurgitate the words of another author as such an action is called plagiarism. I want to know who you are and what your thoughts are. Reports longer than two pages will NOT be accepted.
“Free Choice” report due July 15. Turnitin.com
As you begin reading your book selections consider the historical, social, economic, religious, and cultural context of the time! Be prepared to do more research beyond the book. Use your textbook as well as other resources. A little time spent doing research adds tremendously to your knowledge and will enhance your writing. There are 3 S’s that we will discuss all year: Subject, Style, and Significance.
Paragraph ONE: Write about the subject/content (subject matter) that the an artist/architect created that reflects this time period and how the subject matter reflects the artist’s society in their time. Who commissioned the art and who selected the subject matter? Was it the artist or the patron?
Paragraph TWO: Write about the style of the art/architecture. Read the Introduction to your textbook (Gardner’s Art Through The Ages). This will help tremendously in your understanding of style. Consider the media the artist worked with and the technology of the time. Consider format and composition. How were materials applied or constructed? Was the artist’s approach revolutionary or the norm of the day? What is the period or regional style called?
Paragraph THREE: What was the significance of the artist and his/her work? What purpose did the art serve in its time? Why was the painting painted? Why was the building built? Where was the art originally located and for whom was the art displayed? Was the art private or public, political, secular or religious, created for a king or the masses?
Did this artist/benefactor make an impact in his/her own time and did the artist impact the history of art? How? How did future artists benefit from the artist’s/benefactor’s work? Was the artist greatly influenced by their contemporaries or artists of the past?
Paragraph FOUR: In your fourth and final paragraph, discuss your favorite part of the book. In September you will join a book group in class. You will be discussing why you found this part of the book so interesting or revealing.
Print out one image for each book report and bring these to school in September. Turnitin.com DOES NOT allow for images to be added to written work. The art does not have to be the featured selection from the book. Sometimes other masterpieces by the artist tell a great deal about the artist’s subject, style. and significance. Be sure to clearly identify the title, artist, date, and location of each artwork/architecture image selected. 10 Points will be deducted from each report if images and identification are not turned in.
Reports will be handed in through Turnitin.com.
“Free Choice”/July 15.
Art Held Hostage by John Anderson
Print out your own hard copies. Print out your receipt. Print out your pictures for September book groups, identify them, and write your name on them.
E-mail me: Twilaartcraze@gmail.com prior to July 20.
I will periodically check my e-mail. I am not on call daily all summer!
Tips for Quality Writing in AP Art History:
Thank you, in advance, for getting your reports in. You know how much effort you put into them. Some of you will need the opportunity to rewrite and resubmit your work before the book groups meet in September. Be prepared. Putting your best efforts forth the first time really will save you time. I advise you to read directions and hand in quality work. Results for the first book report will be given out the first day of school.
Things you should already know:
Read directions carefully. Use directions as a check off list.
Place name at top of document when turning in to Turnitin.com. Class Block too.
Use specific dates pertaining to an artist's life, painting, duration of building project, etc. Do not just use just the Century.
What I do and do NOT want to see in your papers:
Use a quality starting topic sentence for each paragraph. Stick to this topic.
Do not repeat the same information. Say it once where it makes a powerful statement and backs up your starting topic sentence.
No Fluff! Do not tell me how amazing, beautiful, and revolutionary a piece of artwork is without telling me the why, how, or specifically what it looks like. Adjectives are nothing without knowledge.
When writing the paragraphs on SUBJECT MATTER, be sure to describe what the building or artwork looks like. Make me SEE what YOU SEE. Is the image a landscape, portrait, a figure or more, non-representational, a mosque/church/ secular home??? Who and what is in the picture?
When writing about STYLE, consider what media the artists works in and the manner in which he works it. Oil paint with loose brush strokes/ polished naturalistic appearance, deeply carved limestone relief sculpture, hypostyle floor plan, etc. Large monumental scale or fits in the palm of your hand.
For example - Baroque architecture includes curving walls and much sculptural ornamentation. Natural light is dramatically displayed and controlled by the architect.
When writing about SIGNIFICANCE, consider the purpose in the artist's time as well as the impact on future artist's. For example, The Duomo of the Florence Cathedral was a symbol of the pride and power of Florentine citizens and merchants. The largest dome in the world was for a church but not commissioned by the pope.
BOOK REPORT IS DUE JULY 30 THROUGH TURNITIN.COM.
