Group Activity: Video Art Interpretation
Each group will present an Interpretive Analysis of the assigned Video Artwork.
Meet with your group and compare the written responses you did for homework.
Begin your presentation with an introduction of the Video artwork's subject matter. Describe the parts of the Video Artwork that are important for the class to know about, to be able to understand your interpretation. This is because the rest of the class has not seen the Video Artwork you are interpreting.
For the rest of your presentation, follow one of the three Sequences of Analysis described by Marguerite Helmer.
Example: Krzysztof Wodiczko - Abraham Lincoln: War Veteran Projection Union Square NYC
In-Class Studio Exercise: Familiar Object Drawings
In-Class Studio Exercise: Familiar Object Drawings
Required Materials: blank, unlined piece of letter-size paper (8.5x11 inches), and a pen or pencil.
Instructions
Draw as many familiar, recognizable objects as you can on the sheet of paper in the time allowed. Number each object as you draw (1, 2, 3, etc.). Draw as simply as you can. You can start with objects you see around you. Continue drawing objects for the entire time of this exercise.
If you run out of things to draw, think of places you go (home, school, job, a park, a store, etc.) and the objects you encounter in each place.
If you run out of things to draw again, look at the objects you have drawn and think of types, sets and variations. For example, if you drew a car, now draw different types of cars. Or draw different types of transportation (car, bus, bike, motorcycle, skateboard, boat, plane, horse, etc.) Or draw different parts of a car (tire, steering wheel, seat, engine, etc.)
When the instructor ends the drawing session, take an in-focus, well-lighted photograph of the page and submit it to your IVA Course Folder.
