MULTI MEDIA PROJECT: Comparative Analysis

Student presentations

This assignment allows you to demonstrate your knowledge and present it within the class setting.

Similar to your essay assignments, you will create a comparative analysis between two forms. 

Process
Part ONE
Select one image from our text (either found in the Introduction through Chapter 10 or Chapter 11 and Chapter 18)

Your second image is to be found from the world of images made in the last century, between 1917 - 2017

They may be similar in subject matter or in their formal qualities.

Part TWO
Making use of the formal elements and principles of design, speak about the comparison between two forms:
How are they are alike? 
How are they different?

Part THREE
Organize your group into who will present first, second, third, etc. 

Organize your group knowing chronology of presenters. Place all your images onto ONE THUMB DRIVE. > It can be a PPT, or any other form you wish. 

Each slide should be set up so that your 2 images sit side by side on the slide. You must include  the details included: artist/designer, title, date, dimensions (if you don't know the artist/designer type in Unknown)

Your presentation, at minimum, will include 4 formal elements and principles of design in your 5 minute presentation.

ELEMENTS of DESIGN
Line
Shape 
Color
Volume & mass
Space
Texture
Value

PRINCIPLES of DESIGN
Unity - Variety / harmony
Balance - symmetry / asymmetrical / radial / occult
Emphasis - Focal Point

Visual Movement - direction / visual weight & speed


WARNING:
Make sure no one else from your group has the same image.


The class will be split evenly into two groups:
Group 1: Will present on  NOV 28
Group 2: Will present on DEC 05
