Gallery
The following examples illustrate some solutions to the final design problem options. So far these are sparse, but I hope to expand the gallery soon. |

In this example, Justin Ellis (Summer 2002) shows how well this problem can turn out. He first sketched a still life of two simple objects (three would have been better), and then translated it into a collage. He explores the principles of synthetic Cubism by working with line, texture, and volume, and adding printed text related to his objects. | ||

D. D. Lindsay-Rogers photographed, her still life instead of sketching it, and then translated it into a collage for the Summer 2005 class--again showing how well she understood what the Cubists were doing.

Sarah Darby's Summer 2007 solution also featured a musical theme. The notion of bringing objects from the real world into the picture plane is demonstrated nicely in all three examples. |

Although Lee Krasner is no longer a viable subject for the poster problem , Sheryl Million created her own "painting" that reflects her understanding of Krasner's abstract expressionism. The resulting poster accomplishes her solution elegantly. The poster option requires that students understand not only the work of the artist or movement, but also the principles of typography and poster conventions necessary for getting a point across simply and succinctly--as well as the story on which the poster must be based. |

Christopher Barker, who recently graduated, was one of the first students to accomplish this project successfully (Summer 2007). He also very nicely linked his film to YouTube, where you can see it. Since then, others have created some really inspiring stuff, which will be linked as soon as I can persuade them to provide me with an online source. |
