Does it give you a new appreciation of how artists can use unconventional materials in their works? Does it engage the viewer in a new or unexpected way?
1. Introduce the work of art with the artist’s name, title , date it was created and medium. You can also include dimensions and where the work is located, if known, but this is optional.
2. Include a thesis statement. Your thesis should provide a framework for your analysis and suggest your interpretation of the work and why it is a good representation of New Media. A statement does not necessarily involve a statement of argument, but it should let the reader know how the artist’s formal choices affect the viewer’s understanding of the work’s content.
1. Your conclusion should briefly summarize your findings and relate back to the thesis statement you presented in your introduction; however, you should avoid simply repeating what you’ve already stated. You should include any new ideas, insights, or understandings you gained about the work through the analysis process.
2. For example, consider how your example affected your understanding of New Media. Does it give you a new appreciation of how artists can use unconventional materials in their works? Does it engage the viewer in a new or unexpected way? Does it provide social commentary, or suggest a break with conventional approaches to art and/or art-making?
3. Please don’t forget to include an image of the artwork you’re discussing in your paper!
