Art 150 - Introduction to Contemporary Art Theory:
Practice and Criticism
FINAL ASSIGNMENT
Write an essay on a living contemporary artist of your choice. Choose an artist whose work you
relate to and who has not been covered in depth in the class. The artist may not have been the
subject of a group presentation in class. Jeff Koons and Theaster Gates are also excluded.
The essay should take an in depth look at an aspect of the artist’s practice. You may look at: a
set of works that have a strong thematic and/or formal relationship; works that show the
development of a specific idea or way of working for the artist; or work from a definite period in
the artist’s practice. The body of artwork you delve into should be related to one or more of the
concepts covered in class and placed in its historic context and in relation to the artist’s other
work. The essay will require library, gallery, and internet research.
The essay will have a clearly stated thesis in the first paragraph. The thesis statement should
summarize what your essay sets out to do. The first and/or second paragraph should give
pertinent information about the artist: state which body of work you will be writing about and
which concepts you will be relating the work too. This can include a brief description of the
range of work, its form, subject matter and/or thematic links.
The main part of the essay will be a reading of the chosen body of work. This should include
descriptions and commentary on some of the pieces. The formal, thematic and/or conceptual
links between the work should be explored, noting points of similarity or difference with
reference to specific pieces. The essay should chart the artist’s engagement, exploration and/or
evolution with regards to the body of work.
The final section will locate the body of work in its art historical context and/or in relation to the
artist’s other work. Much of the final section will consist of a critical evaluation of the body of
work that develops out of your earlier comments. This is a reasoned judgement of the body of
work (not mere opinion) and should include reference to the key concepts you are exploring.
The conclusion should summarize your ideas, stating what you have demonstrated in your
essay.
