First student:

Part 1:

Gallery artist:

Robert Motherwell

The audiences of this kind of art are for everybody who appreciates liberty since his painting represents the harsh conditions which Spanish people lived during Spanish civil war. Therefore, he addresses his work to those people who suffer from violence and persecution. The individual that realize the meaning of Matherwell’s artworks would have to have profound background of tacks of his unique painting. As a result, Robert Motherwell achieved an extraordinary protest art in order to share his imagines with the people who evaluate such a kind of art and who are really lived the renaissance era, so they considered the actual audiences.
Robert Motherwell performed his job based in the actual lives that many people lived during the fascist of Francisco Franco; his artworks depicted the violence terrors and people suffering during that disgraceful period. This relationship is not only represent the past period of dictatorial leader but also represent the everyday humans lived under political authoritarians.

Self-portrait

$2.00

First student

My self-portrait is somewhat up close but not so close that all you see is me. I wanted my photo to be this way so you can see the emotion on my face as well as some of the objects nearby. My emotions are somewhat flat or removed. Dealing with a full time job, three college courses, and life can get overwhelming. I feel like sometimes I don’t know who I am anymore among all the stress. I chose to go with a silver tone filter to portray the monotonous routine of life. I’m situated in my cubicle, during my lunch hour working on my homework. In front of me I have my course book, notepad and a pen. These are at my fingertips showing the importance of these objects to try to keep me focused. I’ve got my cup of coffee nearby to keep me alert.

I think my self-portrait is successful. I wanted to show that life gets busy. We all have a lot going on and life isn’t only about the good. We have to work through a lot of stressful situations to find the good in life. With social media these days, it’s easy to have the perception of your friends and family only having these amazing lives because they only want to post happy moments. Life isn’t always happy. Real life is a rollercoaster.

Your assignment should be roughly 1000 words [2 pages singles spaced].

You must provide three online sources for this assignment. Wikipedia is an acceptable place to begin given current conditions, but there are numerous sources of information. I’ve provided some tips for online research on Brightspace. You cannot use quotes of any kind in this assignment. It is to be written in your own words. However, avoid writing in first person unless you wish to express personal opinion at the end of the report. This is acceptable once you have completed the criteria for the assignment. You cannot submit this assignment in point form. One strategy is to create a point form draft in which you answer all of the pertinent questions. Then write the assignment using your draft as a skeleton [I have included a sample version of a point form rough draft and a final draft]. Remember what I said off the top of the class about the difference between a fan and a student. You are a student.

I will post two sample for the assignment, but you CAN NOT copy them, just take a look for reference and format.
