Warhol Project
Rough Draft Due: Mon. 4/6 for in class peer review.
Final Draft Due: Wed. 4/8.
Andy Warhol's art critiqued the world in which he lived. Working in groups, students will digitally create a 2D image or series of images, a 3D printed artifact ,or series of artifacts; or a series of images and artifacts critiquing our world. Each group will also write a 750-word rationale (250 words per group member) that addresses the subject, design, and audience of the image, artifact, or series you created. In the process, your rationale will explain how your project adapts Warhol's techniques. Drawing on our reading of Roland Barthes's short pieces in Mythologies, you will also analyze at least two quotations from at least one of Barthes's essays as you consider what your artifact teaches us about the twenty-first century.
You are welcome to use any applications that you would like to make your artifact, including Microsoft Word, Power Point, Instagram, Piktochart, Photoshop, or a combination of various tools. You can capture screenshots using Jing.
As you begin work, review resources regarding Warhol's technique and the significance of his work, including, How to Print Like Warhol, a discussion from the Khan Academy, and a documentary about Warhol's career. Cite and quote these resources and others you consult in your works cited. You can view online the contents of the Andy Warhol from A to Z and Back Again exhibition that was held the Whitney Museum. You can also receive extra credit for writing a blog posting about the show (see the Blog Posting Assignments page of our course website for instructions).
Your rationale must have a clear thesis and use the templates from They Say/I Say. Each group member will complete an equal portion of the rationale, but it must read fluidly as a whole. One member of the group will submit the rationale (in 12-point, Times New Roman font) and image or images in a Microsoft Word document on Blackboard. If the image file or files are large, you can include a screenshot in the rationale document and share a larger separate file or files using Google Drive. The project will receive a group grade.
The rationale must include a list of works cited that demonstrates correct use of MLA format and includes all sources you have consulted, including webpages. If you are adapting an existing image, cite a source for it. Each of the group members must use their own words in writing the rationale.
Submit your rough draft and final drafts on Blackboard at least thirty minutes before class on the dates indicated above.
Presentation
Each group will also give a 1-3 minute presentation of their project in class on the day that the final draft is due. You can draw on the contents of your rationale to teach us about your artifact, why and how you chose to create it as you did, how it adapts Warhol's techniques, and what it critiques about society.
Assessment Rubric
Your project will be assessed using the following criteria:
Exceptional
Rationale
Strong
Rationale
Satisfactory. The rationale is reasonably focused, and explanations or analysis are mostly based on examples or other evidence. Fewer connections are made between ideas, and though new insights are offered, they are not fully developed. The image and rationale reflect moderate engagement with the topic. It contains errors in use of grammar, punctuation, or MLA style (and list of works cited).
Underdeveloped. The rationale is mostly description or summary, without consideration of alternative perspectives, and few connections are made between ideas. The rationale and artifact reflect passing engagement with the topic. It contains many errors in use of grammar, punctuation, or MLA style.
Limited. The rationale is unfocused, or simply rehashes previous comments, and the project as a whole displays no evidence of student engagement with the topic.
No Credit. The project is missing or the rationale consists of disconnected sentences. The rationale demonstrates plagiarism: presenting others' ideas as your own, pasting content from sources (including websites), or drawing on such content without citing it.
