Visit the Indianapolis Museum of Art (IMA), and choose an artwork that you find interesting.

Write an essay (3-4 double spaced pages using 12 point font). Include a title page and a works cited page. You will need to explore the formal treatment (see the Gathering Information template) and iconography of the work. Your essay should address how artistic devices contribute to your understanding of the works meaning or artistic significance. (Use the first few chapters of your textbook for vocabulary.)

SOURCES: You must use viable sources. Such sources include, Oxford Art online database, ARTSTOR, MyUINDY library and DATABASE, ARTCHIVE, and other educational or museum sites.

________________________________________________________________

• TITLE PAGE: Please title your paper with the name of the artwork you have chosen. Make sure to always italicize titles of artworks. Your title page will also include your name, my name, the date and the class you are in: Art Appreciation

• Introduction: Introduce the artwork you have chosen. Your introduction will state where you observed the artwork (museum). You will want to introduce the reader to your overall experience at the IMA. Your introduction will need a thesis statement that you will recap in your conclusion. What do you want to tell people the most about this artist or artwork? Example: Hopper’s work often explores themes of loneliness, which can specifically be seen within this piece. – Then, the rest of the paper will focus on explaining that statement.

• Discuss the FORMAL PROPERTIES of your selection- size, materials, technique, color, and any other details about its physical attributes. Don’t forget to tell whether the artwork is a painting, sculpture, print, architecture, installation, video media, drawing, photograph, etc…

• ARTIST: Please include a few brief words about the artists involvement in any specific style (associated with the image you chose) as well as his/her contribution to the art movement and style- not an entire biography.

• Please provide the CONTEXT of the work of art- its culture of origin, time period or art movement, religion if applicable and artist information if available.

• Be sure to DESCRIBE the look of the artwork in your own words as much as possible. Be specific, as though you were explaining it over the phone to someone who couldn’t see it. Classify the work; is it Representational, Abstract, or Nonrepresentational? What is the subject matter and/or the content of the work of art? Also, analyze the work of art. Artists don’t generally emphasize all the elements of art equally. Use the provided Gathering Information template to collect information on the elements and principles of art. If the artist emphasizes SCALE (principle of design), then talk about scale, etc. Discuss the artist(s) intent for the artwork. Does the artist achieve his/her intent? Does the artwork visually explain what it was intended to? Refer back to chapter one where the text discusses the roles of artists to help with your judgment.

• Analyze your work of art for any SYMBOLISM or Iconography. Research should guide you in this if you select a work of art from a time or cultural we haven’t studied yet.

• It may be interesting to provide a HISTORY of the work itself and any restoration efforts. (If known)

• Next, please tell the reader what inspired you to pick this work. Why did it speak to you? The look? A religious or emotional connection? Travel experience? You tell me.

• CONCLUSION: the conclusion should summarize and restate your thesis statement. Consider an additional leading thought to encourage the reader to want more information beyond these images.

You MUST use and know the goal setting theory.
I attached my projact, you have to Analysis is using the goal setting theor. in 300 to 350 words.
I will give you TWO examples:
1
“The Story I told in my DMP2 project applies to the goal setting theory. I indicated that when my school told me I would not graduate if I did not approve my attendance, I adapted the goal of improving my friends and attendance, with the end goal of getting into college. Although I didn’t mention the specifics in my video due to time constraints, my school told me I had missed more than half of my junior year thus far, and in order to pass, I could not miss a single other day of school from there on out, even doctor’s appointments had to be made outside of class time. The school challenged me to not miss a single other day of school, which for someone like me was extremely hard to do, this is a very clear and specific goal. Even though the school encouraged me to do so, I was blown away when they told me how many days I had missed, this motivated me to stay focused and attend every class each day for six months straight. I even set an intrinsic goal of getting my butt to class each day. My story reveals intense and engaging effort as I made drastic changes to my friend groups, choices, and school attendance, all of which were important task strategies on my way to a better life, one day as a college student. Some people might think that my goal is easily attainable, but for me it was quite difficult, attending school every day was a very complex task due to health and family issues. Doing so required that I not only attend school, but pick up my grades substantially, and start thinking about going to college, something I had never done previously. It also meant I had to examine some of my friendships and behaviors and adjust accordingly.

Surprisingly, my desire to attend school gradually increased as life went on. After I found out about my ACT grade being so high, I made the commitment to myself and family, that I would attend college. My high-test score was made public in the hallways of Greendale High School, and that was also motivation to keep up the good work. I had so much positive feedback after I took my ACT and it was just the extra push I needed to be able to believe that I really could go to college. This goal proved to myself that if I put my mind to it, I can do anything!”

“The story I told in my DMP2 example project begins with an application of goal setting theory, as I indicated that a visit to my doctor in the summer of 2016, lead to my adoption of a goal to jump start my metabolism through diet and exercise, with the end goal to lose some weight and take charge of my health. Although I didn’t mention the specifics in my video (due to time constraints), my doctor challenged me to lose 20 pounds by the beginning of 2017 — a very clear and specific goal. Even though she encouraged me to adopt this goal, I feel as though it was a goal that I set for myself, because I wanted to take better care of myself and avoid serious health problems in the future. My story reveals intense and persistent effort as I made drastic changes to my diet and exercise habits — both of which were important task strategies on my way to a healthier lifestyle. Some people might think that the elimination of sugar, wheat, cheese, dairy and all processed foods was a complex task and challenging undertaking. Doing so required that I do a lot of reading and learning about what foods would be healthier choices. It also meant that I had to examine some life long patterns related to diet and exercise and make some decisions about how to change old habits that were not serving me very well.

Interestingly enough, my desire to continue eating healthy foods and exercising regularly is stronger than ever because of the positive feedback I have received from the scale (so far I have lost almost 40 pounds) and my friends’ observations that I look much younger and healthier. Making my commitment to living a healthier lifestyle public, has also intensified my motivation to continue healing and strengthening my body through diet and exercise. This dramatic change has also increased my confidence that if I can achieve this goal, I can accomplish anything!

Thanks for watching my DMP2 Example and reading my analysis. Good luck on your projects.”
