Description

ART 335 SURVEY OF JAPANESE ART Summer 2020 FINAL PROJECT: Exhibition Catalog of a Japanese Art Show •

Due Friday, August 7, by midnight via Blackboard Assignment:

You will curate a virtual exhibition of Japanese art and complete it by writing an exhibition catalog.

Guidelines:

You would first select one iconic image of Japanese culture (you can be very subjective),

such as a specific work of art, scenery, object, people, realistic picture or abstract design that we have discussed in this course. Next, you should investigate this image thoroughly about its meaning and importance in terms of artistic traditions, aesthetic value, or cultural heritage in Japan. You may focus on any one of these three directions. The thesis of your virtual art show shall be inspired from this study, which will be a main component of your Introduction Essay (see #4-b below).

After you have finalized a thesis, you will select SEVEN works of Japanese art to be included in your curated art show, each work should develop a key point that may resonate or contrast with your main example. Among the seven works, at least ONE should be from the 21st century.

Conduct research on these seven works of art. You are required to draw upon at least SEVEN substantive works of scholarly analysis or art criticism

: These texts might come from books, articles, exhibition catalogs, or reputable websites. Artist’s statements count if they are substantive and you analyze them critically. Online encyclopedias (e.g. Wikipedia) do NOT count! After you have done a fair amount of research, you should start working on your exhibition catalog (see one sample catalog on Blackboard@CourseContent).

• Your exhibition catalog should include the following contents:

Title – ONE page.

An expressive title of the exhibition. (5 points)

Introduction Essay –2-3 pages.

This is where your thesis comes in. Explain the significance of your exhibition that should include the iconic image of your choice and its meaning and importance in one of the following considerations: artistic traditions, aesthetic value, or cultural heritage in Japan. Single-spaced text. (35 points) Catalog entry – 7+ pages.

You will write SEVEN individual entries; each entry should provide specific explanation and meaningful interpretation of the selected work. Single-spaced text. Every entry should have its pages, including both text and image (illustration of the work), separate from other entries.

See How to write a catalog entry on page 2 for suggestions of entry contents. (50 points) Bibliography

– At least SEVEN sources, see #3 above. Use proper MLA or Chicago style. (10 points)
