Aesthetic Media Project
Project Parameters:
- Students will examine the roles of artistic license and aesthetic value in entertainment media.
- As individuals, students will scrutinize and draw personal conclusions on art and design principals and the aesthetic value of a media product.
Learning Outcomes:
- Students will synthesize the art and design principals they have studied throughout the year to produce a final piece of media that represents their best work.
- Students will individually create a multimedia based piece of art that communicates a message from a song or piece of poetry.
- Students will evaluate and reflect on the aesthetic value based on the class’ (i.e. the public's) response to their media products.
Growth Oppurtunities
Essential Questions:
- How can technology and media be used to immerse viewers in an emotional experience?
- How do changes in media and technology effect artists and producers of media?
Assignment:
After examining the roles of artistic license and aesthetic value, you will create a multimedia-based piece of art that visually communicates a message and emotion in an artistic manner. You may choose to use a song, soliloquy, public speech or poem as inspiration. However, the emphasis should be on creating something new that exemplifies your own artistic expression; not on making a literal interpretation of another person’s perspective.
