Using your digital camera or your phone to capture images, find 12 out of 20 examples of the following items. Results must be compiled into a single PowerPoint or Keynote presentation which will be posted by 11:59 on Monday, May 6th Only one response per question, meaning individuals cannot answer the same question multiple times in the same presentation. Also, the same work cannot be used for multiple questions.
The rules of this scavenger hunt are:
First Rule: You get 8 points for each item that you successfully find that meets the criteria. Second Rule: All attached images must be YOUR OWN photography. Therefore, if you attach images of other peoples art, (even though you are briefly describing and referencing images),INTERNET IMAGES ARE NOT ALLOWED. Also, do not photograph images from books or magazines!
Third Rule: For each image,
Clearly describe your slide; this includes desсrіption of medium, artist, date, title, and location.
Include a THOROUGH EXPLANATION OF HOW THE WORK SATISFIES THE CRITERIA (design terminology is a must). You will not receive credit without this. Fourth Rule: If you cannot find information about the artist, title, date use a different work. The only exception to this rule is where I have not asked for it or if it is graffiti (still look for this information though as many of the murals information can be found!).
The maximum points that you can receive on this project are 100 points, so take advantage and have fun!
PS if you want to include more than 12 of the items below to cover your bases, that is fine, but the maximum points you can get are 100. (You get four automatically) GOOD LUCK ! SCAVENGER HUNT LIST
A 21st Century “Readymade” that functions like Duchamp’s “Fountain” did in 1913). Explain how it is readymade, know the difference between a readymade and something that is simply manufactured (ie. do not take a picture of a toilet and state that it is a readymade because it is not!).

Title: Annotated Bibliography for Research Paper on [Topic]
Annotated Bibliography
The annotated bibliography consists of two main parts:
(1) the citation, which is a record of the source, formatted in the appropriate style (MLA), and
(2) the annotation, which comes after each citation.
The annotation is a brief summary of the source that can:
(1) assess the source’s strengths and weaknesses,
(2) outline the source’s main arguments,
(3) provide relevant background information about the author,
(4) describe how the source is relevant to your topic.
Each summary should be 100-150 words in length and should do one or more of the four things listed above.
Your completed annotated bibliography should consist of 15-18 citations.
You can use your annotated bibliography as a reference tool for tracking all the sources you’ll want to use in your paper. In writing your paper, however, you will probably use fewer (seven minimum) of the sources listed. -
“Exploring Edo Japan: A Personal Statement and Analysis of Ōgata Kōrin’s Red and White Plum Blossoms, and the Link between Art and Nature”
Part 1: This is where you are to choose your favorite artwork from periods that we have covered and act like an art historian. You will pick an art period that you liked and a piece of art that has been stylistically categorized in that period. Then you will write up a personal statement and analyze the work (think of something you might see in a museum setting or something an art critic would say about the piece). Again, follow the guidelines listed on the handout. The artwork that will be chosen is Ōgata Kōrin, Red and White Plum Blossoms, Edo period, c. 1710–16. Pair of two-panel folding screens, ink and colors, silver, and gold leaf on paper, each screen 5 ft. 1⅝ in. × 5 ft. 7⅞ in. (1.57 × 1.72 m). MOA Museum of Art, Atami, Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan. This is part of the Elite Art in Edo Japan, 1615–1868.
Part 2: In this section, you will discuss a link between art and another element in society. For example, linking art to math, or science, or music, etc. Figure out a creative way to share that. In the past, I have had students write an essay describing how art correlates to scientific experiments or some that found an artful poetic nature to a certain song, or even one that created a powerpoint presentation linking art to sports cars. Up to you, just be creative but thorough in your work.
Lastly, the project should be organized into one document (i.e. one submission to the Final Project Dropbox) and each section needs to be properly titled.
