Representations of the Body in Art
Artistic representations of the human body have been a timeless source of inspiration, reflecting cultural aesthetics, societal norms, and individual creativity. This assignment challenges you to delve into the diverse ways the body has been portrayed in art, both historically and in contemporary contexts. Through thorough research and creative reflection, you will not only analyze various approaches to body representation but also envision your own artistic interpretation. The final project will be presented as a well-researched PowerPoint presentation. Scholarly research is an important component of this project.

Select a Focus/Theme and Find Artworks
Choose a theme that centers around the representation of the human body in art. This theme should offer a unique angle through which you can explore how the body has been depicted, symbolized, and communicated in diverse artistic contexts.
Below are some theme ideas. You do not have to select from this list, but feel free to use these themes as a starting point, or come up with your own. Remember, try to choose a theme that aligns with your interests and the artworks you plan to analyze. Anatomy and Scientific Inquiry: Analyze how artists have engaged with anatomical accuracy and scientific understanding of the body, reflecting advancements in medical knowledge.
Beauty and Aesthetics: Explore the concept of beauty as represented through the human body and how cultural ideals have shaped artistic portrayals of physical attractiveness.
Body in Photography and Digital Art: Analyze how digital media and photography have influenced the representation of the body in art.
Human Body in Religious Context: Analyze the representation of the body in religious art, highlighting the significance of religious beliefs and rituals in shaping these depictions.
Movement and Gesture: Explore how artists capture the dynamics of the human body in motion, conveying emotion and narrative through gestures and poses.
Mythology and Folklore: Investigate how art uses the human body to portray mythological narratives and folklore, emphasizing cultural stories and beliefs.
Nature and Ancestral Connection: Examining how artworks use the body to depict a profound connection with nature and ancestors, often seen in indigenous art.
Nature and the Human Form: Investigate how artists integrate the human body with natural elements, blurring the boundaries between human and environment.
Renaissance and the Body: Explore how the Renaissance period revolutionized the portrayal of the human body.
Resilience and Strength: Analyze how artists can portray the body as a symbol of resilience, strength, and endurance in the face of historical and contemporary challenges.
Social Hierarchies: Investigate how the portrayal of the body in art reflects social hierarchies, status, and the dynamics of power.
Surrealism and Abstraction: Investigate how the body is transformed and abstracted in surreal and abstract art, giving rise to new interpretations.
Symbolism in Eastern Art: Exploring how the human body is used as a vehicle to convey spiritual and metaphysical ideas in Eastern art forms such as Indian, Chinese, or Japanese art.
Textiles and Body Adornments: Explore the depiction of the body through textiles, clothing, and body adornments in non-Western cultures.
The Body in Ancient Art: Explore the significance of the human body in ancient art forms such as cave paintings, Egyptian sculpture, Greek and Roman statuary, and ancient African, Indian or Chinese art.
The Body in Modern Art – Body as a Medium: Examine how the body became a medium of artistic expression in modern art, with a special focus on performance art and body art movements.
Where can you find artworks that fit your theme? Consider using your textbook as a starting point. The Google Arts and Culture websiteLinks to an external site. is also a good place to find artworks to research as it contains pieces from over 2000 museums and archives. Remember, an internet search can start you off, but you want to move onto scholarly articles for your presentation. Museum resources are acceptable.
Gather Scholarly Sources and Research
Utilize at least five scholarly sources that align with your chosen theme. Keep in mind that you will be focusing your research around a minimum of five artists/artworks. Use your textbook and course material for inspiration. Avoid simple Internet searches and Wikipedia entries.
Effective primary sources include:
Artist’s statements
Interviews with the artist
Manuscripts, correspondence, and reviews written at the time that exhibitions of the artist’s work were held
Artists’ own accounts of their life and work: autobiographies, memoirs, and oral histories recorded later
Effective secondary sources include interpretations and analyses of primary sources by someone else, such as:
Reference books (dictionaries of art, encyclopedias)
Books by scholars
Scholarly journal articles
Book reviews
Museum websites*
* The Internet is a rich source of information, but you need to be very careful to evaluate the legitimacy of the sites. In general, websites are unreliable if it is unclear who wrote the information or what contributors’ qualifications are. Many of the great museums around the world have their own websites, however, which are excellent and trustworthy sources of fascinating information. These websites are generally considered secondary sources, but may include primary source information, too.
Once you have done your research, you need to pull it all together to present a coherent interpretation of the artwork that shows that you understand the content and context. This interpretation should include your own opinion, carefully developed by considering your research findings. The strongest interpretations of an artwork combine the viewer’s formal analysis, factual evidence from primary and secondary sources, and support from the work of specialists who know about the topics being covered.

Presentation: Artwork Analysis
Create a PowerPoint (PPT) Presentation using the following guidelines to present your research. You may choose to use other presentation applications other than PPT, such as Google Slides, or Canva.comLinks to an external site., but if you do, you must save and submit your final work as a text-based PDF document in order to receive credit.
Slide 1: Title Slide
Your title slide should include a captivating title that reflects your chosen theme.
Also include your name and date.
Slide 2: Defining the Theme
Write a concise explanation of your chosen theme. Introduce the artists and their cultural contexts. Provide an explanation of how this theme offers a unique perspective on body representation in art.
Slides 3-12: Artwork Analysis
Present and analyze at least five artworks by at least five different artists that exemplify your chosen theme.Use your textbook and course material for ideas on where to start.
Your chosen artworks should have two dedicated slides each as follows:An image slide which includes a high quality image of the artwork and its basic identifying information (artist name, title, date, medium, dimensions, and location if known). You may include detail images or alternative views.
A separate slide where you discuss in a researched statement how the artwork reflects your theme and contributes to the discourse of body representation in art. Also consider how the artist’s choice of materials and/or processes may be relevant or meaningful.
Remember, you will do the above for each artwork, so this section should be 10 slides (5 image slides and 5 researched statement slides).
Slide 13: Comparative Analysis In a separate written statement (300 words minimum) you will compare and contrast the artists in terms of their interpretation of the theme. Identify common threads and variations in their approaches. Support your claims with research and informed examples/ideas, and draw upon concepts, terms, and approaches learned in class. Presentation (cont.): Artwork Proposal
Slide 14 (or more slides as needed): Artwork Proposal
After conducting your research, you will now get a chance to think creatively and propose an imagined artwork where you envision your own representation of the body. This could be a self-portrait, but it does not have to be. Do not worry if you are not artistically inclined! You are not expected to create an actual finished art piece; it is merely a proposal.
Concepts: Describe the concepts and theme of your envisioned work. What emotions or messages are important to convey?
Inspiration: Share what inspired your idea. Did the research influence your concept? Keep in mind that your artwork proposal does not have to relate directly to the artists or theme you chose for the main part of your research project. However, in your statement, you should make thoughtful connections to your artists and/or theme, whether this be through comparison or contrast.
Details: What materials/medium would you use? Consider and explain the scale, location, style, and subject matter. Be specific and as vividly descriptive as possible, demonstrating an understanding of course concepts. Would it be figurative or would you represent the body (yourself if a self-portrait) through other ways?
Visual Representation: Include any simple sketches, diagram, images, or visuals that may aid in the depiction of your proposed artwork. If you don’t want to sketch, you could include found images or a digital collage that may assist in helping to visualize your idea.
A fun part of this proposal is that since you are not actually expected to complete the work, you are not constricted by location, scale, or cost of materials!
Presentation (cont.): Works Cited
Final Slide: Works Cited (References)
On the final slide, include a properly formatted full reference list. See the University’s library guide for Citing Sources. Links to an external site.
Remember to use in-text citations on the content slides.
Formatting GuidelinesIt is recommended to create your presentation in PowerPoint and submit a PPT file or a PDF.You may choose a different application such as Google Slides or Canva, but remember, if you use something other than PPT to complete your presentation, it must be saved and submitted as a PDF document – other file types are NOT accepted.
Organize your slide presentation according to the instructions.
Use clear and complete sentences throughout your presentation. Proofread before submission. You must use correct grammar, punctuation, and spelling.
Your file may be large, so give yourself plenty of time to upload the assignment to avoid delays. The syllabus late policy applies.

You have had one semester in which to examine many works in a very broad survey of Western Art. You have seen much in class, and even more on your own as you have researched and completed seven assignments.
In short, compose a list of your personal top five (5) works of art from this semester, and describe why you have chosen these particular works in light of so many works we’ve viewed. Some questions to consider:
Why did these five make your list? 
How did you arrive at your list? 
Are they your favorites, or are they deserving of such honor despite not being actual personal favorites?
Did you see them in class, or in your own research, or both? 
Were you familiar with any of these works prior to class? 
By placing these works in their context, were you able to gain a new understanding of the works as representatives of a specific time, place and culture, thereby catching a glimpse of the past in a new and dare I say, profound way?
Be sure to fully identify your top five by title, date, and artist if known, and please cite sources, whether lectures, study guides, notes, textbook or other.
NO bullet points! Use complete sentences – this is not a formal research paper but you do have time to polish it before submitting a sloppy one-paragraph essay. To wit: each work merits a minimum of one paragraph, offering as much detail as possible. If one double-spaced typed page is approximately 250 words, I’d say this essay should aim for at least 750.

This assignment assesses this course’s General Learning Objective (GELO). The GELO associated with ARH1000 Art Appreciation is Critical Thinking. Santa Fe College describes the critical thinking outcome and associated competencies as follows: demonstrate the skills necessary for analysis, synthesis, evaluation, decision-making, critical and creative thinking, and the creative process.
Assignment Overview and Objective
Throughout this course, we have discussed a wide range of art objects from paintings and prints to sculpture, performance art and installation. We often look at art and decide if we like it or not based on our aesthetic preferences. It is only when we take a deeper look, through formal and art historical analysis, that the object’s meaning and purpose is revealed. 
This essay is a formal and historical analysis of a work of art (i.e. painting, sculpture, etc.) within a museum collection. Using the vocabulary of art connoisseurship, be sure to discuss your chosen art object in terms of its formal elements, subject matter, meaning, and historical context. 
Assignment Instructions and Formatting Guidelines 
You will visit the Harn Museum of Art at UF. If you do not live in Gainesville and would like to visit an art museum local to you, please contact me for approval. 
Format your paper with a cover page, introduction, body paragraphs, conclusion, and bibliography in the Chicago Manual of Style format.  
Include a minimum of three (3) scholarly sources. Any paper submitted without the minimum scholarly sources, without a bibliography, or with incorrect citations will receive a zero.
Review the Scholarly Sources vs. Popular Sources video in the Getting Started module before starting your paper. 
Paper must be a minimum of 750 words with a word count included on the cover page. 
You must submit proof of your museum visit. Take a selfie inside the museum in front of your chosen object and include it at that end of your paper.
Review papers are typed, double-spaced, 12pt. Times New Roman font.
Formatting & Writing Tips:
Your introduction is a single paragraph and includes: 
Identifying information regarding the work you are reviewing: the venue at which you viewed the piece, the specific exhibit it might be included in, the artist’s name, the title of the artwork (italics), date, size, and medium. 
Any prerequisite information necessary for the reader to follow the discussion to come. For example, a brief description of the subject, as presented in the artwork, is necessary for the introduction if components of that subject are to be further discussed in the body of your essay. 
A clear and complete Thesis Statement 
A Thesis Statement is concise, one or two sentences at most. 
A Thesis Statement is a pointed statement that clearly identifies what idea, viewpoint or conclusion you are presenting to the reader and what main points you will expand upon in the body of your essay in order to support that idea, viewpoint or conclusion. 
Includes the main points that will be expanded upon to support the viewpoints: 
Example: “Through the artist’s placement of people and furniture, jarring use of color and distortion of perspective, Van Gogh’s Nigh Cafe redefines the usually inviting environment of a neighborhood pub as a lonely and alienating space.”  This statement includes the idea, viewpoint or conclusion to be supported in the body of your paper. 
Note: Since your essay is to address Subject, Form, and Meaning, the above example of a good thesis statement includes mention of each:
Subject: “people and furniture”, “neighborhood pub”
Form: “placement”, “color”, “perspective”
Meaning: “jarring”, “redefines”, “lonely and alienating” 
Your introduction should not include: 
Information that is unrelated to or unnecessary for an understanding of your essay’s main points. For example, biographical information on the artist that is not essential to an understanding of the points you plan to discuss should be left out. 
Robotic statements that read as flat or uninterested such as, “This essay will address…” 
A thesis with vague, indefensible statements (especially as regards meaning) such as, “The color works well to create an image many people will like”. 
Your essay body should include multiple organized body paragraphs 
Paragraphs should be organized by the order in which your main points were noted in your introduction (i.e., the first main point noted in your introduction becomes the topic of your first body paragraph). 
Paragraphs must begin with a topic sentence and follow with sentences that support, expand upon or defend the content of the topic sentence. 
A paragraph should always clearly relate how its topic supports the idea, viewpoint or conclusion as presented in the essay’s thesis statement. 
A paragraph with a closely related point to that of a following paragraph will often conclude with a transitional sentence. This transitional sentence clarifies the relationship of the current paragraph to the upcoming related point to follow in the next paragraph. 
A paragraph without a closely related point to the following paragraph will often end with a conclusion sentence. This conclusion sentence clarifies that the point has been made and closes and prepares the reader for a new point to follow in the next paragraph. 
Your essay should include a thoughtful Conclusion paragraph 
Avoid overused phrases such as “in conclusion,” “in summary,” or “in closing.” 
A thoughtful conclusion goes beyond a mere restatement of the main points of your essay. 
Synthesize, don’t just summarize. Imagine that a reader reads your essay, understands your points and how they support your thesis. Then they say, “so what?”, “why should I care?” and answer those questions.  For example, consider Van Gogh’s Night Cafe, the painting on which the above example of a good thesis statement was based. Van Gogh is known to have had mental health issues throughout his adult life. Though this may not have been a main point of the essay, a concluding paragraph on Van Gogh’s Night Cafe might nevertheless point to this fact and call attention to the reader that understanding the actual points of the essay (the accomplishments of Van Gogh in conveying a “lonely and alienating space”) allow us to see that Van Gogh’s gift to us was not despite his illness, but precisely because of it.  Through this painting, we see his sensitivity to his surroundings, his vulnerability in sharing his despair and loneliness, and perhaps find a solidarity or at least an empathy with those who suffer so today. 
A good conclusion leaves a reader glad that they read your essay. 
Proofreading & Editing Tips: 
Don’t write by “flow of consciousness”; plan your essay and rewrite for clarity. 
Avoid empty phrases (e.g., “The artist used line well.”). 
Assume nothing to be “understood” – expand on your ideas so that any reader might understand. 
Be concise; avoid flowery language and melodramatic phrasing. 
Avoid defeatist sentences or those that are going nowhere (e.g., “The meaning was lost to me.”). 
Utilize appropriate [discipline-specific] vocabulary (i.e., don’t confuse “harmony” with “unity”, etc.). When in doubt, look it up in an appropriate text (not a standard dictionary, which is too general, but an art or design text which is discipline-specific). 
Avoid awkward phrasing (e.g., “When I first looked at this painting, you could see an obvious surface pattern.” or “I was amused by this drawing because of its lack of seriousness and comical expression”). 
Avoid clichés (e.g., “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.”). 
Avoid presenting personal biases as justification (e.g., “This work was ultimately unsuccessful because I don’t like abstract art”) 
PROOFREAD.
Titles of visual works are ALWAYS italicized – they are are not put in quotation marks.  
The first time an artist is mentioned it is proper to utilize both the artist’s first and last name.  Any other mention of the artist should be by her or his last name. 
There are a few examples in which it is proper to refer to an artist by one name: Caravaggio, Michelangelo,  etc. 
Make sure to spell the artist’s name correctly.
Do not write in the first (I, me) or second person (you). Using a neutral voice in the third person is preferred. (one, the viewer, etc.) 
Example: As one walks through the gallery space, they are transported back in time to Paris circa 1900. When looking at the opposing portrait of King Henry XVIII, his intense personality is instantly revealed to the viewer. 
Plagiarism
If you fail to include a bibliography and footnote citations in any of your papers when using sources (including museum catalogue entries and wall text), it is considered plagiarism. All papers must be submitted via Canvas and will be checked for plagiarism.
Use quotation marks for direct quotes and paraphrases. 
If you use the words of another writer without acknowledging that writer it is considered plagiarism. 
If you use the ideas of another writer without acknowledging that writer it is considered plagiarism. 
As I read your paper, I will be asking “How does he or she know this information?”
If photography is permitted within the exhibition gallery, you may include images of the works you discuss in detail. Either take your own photos or download images from the internet. 
The use of generative AI is prohibited in this course. Do not use any AI tools such as Grammarly, Quillbot, ChatGPT, Dall-E, etc. to assist you with your paper. If your paper is flagged as AI generated, you will not receive credit for your paper.
NOTE:
Please upload your paper via Canvas as a PDF or Word document. Other formats such as Google Docs and Pages are not accepted. Make sure you convert your file to a PDF if you are using a program other than MS Word. 
Please upload your paper on time before the due date and time. Once the due date has passed you will not have access to the submission folder. 
This is your final exam, there are no redos once your paper has been graded. 
You will not receive credit for your paper if:
You do not cite sources properly, including incorrect citations and plagiarism issues.
You reference sources that are not scholarly and do not adhere to the guidelines.
You do not include three scholarly sources.
You do not submit proof of your museum visit (take a selfie inside the museum in front of your chosen object and include the image at the end of your paper).
Your paper is flagged as AI (Artificial Intelligence) generated or Plagiarized.
If your paper is submitted via email after the deadline. 

See attach, only do number 1. I will follow up each week for completion of the whole reacher paper. Thanks

This assignment requires time, a minimum 8 hours-work. Avoid turning in an assignment done in one day or in a few hours, you won’t get a passing grade. I am not looking for amazing craftsmanship but for effort, thought and a creative idea, as well as a good record of the making of the piece, good photography, and good organization.
It has to be something invented, not from the internet.
Something simple, beautiful and created by imagination, not something copied from the internet or from some image. It can be something on pen and ink I think is more easier or something like that. 
Here are some examples on files.
