Art course work

 

1. Compare two or three films made in the same genre. These could be, for example, the science fictions films A Trip to the Moon and Star Wars. Or you might like to think about films mentioned elsewhere in the book, or movies you already know about (you could add one of The Matrix, Blade Runner, or another Star Wars film, to the movies mentioned above). Try to identify the defining characteristics of the genre from their appearance in your chosen films. Which scene, or sequence of scenes, best exemplifies your film’s genre? Are there any aspects of your chosen films that do not fit well with others in its genre?

I am not currently near a university library so I ask that you use one of these sources. The paper will be checked electronically for plagiarism. Please email me with the name of the artist that you wish to write about in this paper. Thanks in advance for your help
2. Choose three examples of artworks made in alternative media or with alternative processes: one from this week’s readings (The House with the Ocean View by Marina Abramovic pic attached, one from elsewhere in the text, and one from your own research. For each artwork, identify whether it is a conceptual work, a performance piece, or an installation. Consider the role of the viewer in each of your artworks. How is their role affected by the medium? For example, are they active or passive? Some alternative artworks are now known only through photographs or videos, whereas some can still be experienced in real life. How might the viewer’s role have changed from when the work was initially created? Would you have liked to participate in any of these artworks?
