Project Introduction:In this project, you need to choose an artist or an architect of your interest, research representative professional work, and write about this subjects achievements in the world of art and architecture. In the first part of the project, you will complete the research on the chosen subject and will select two representative buildings if the subject is an architect or THREE works of art if the subject is an artist. Finally, you will analyze the pieces in terms of their formal qualities and design. In the second part of the project you will consider issues, such as the characteristic style, preferred techniques and methods of work, and sources of ideas and inspiration of the artist or architect. The second part will also examine your personal response to the chosen subject and the representative work.

For this part of the project, you need to produce a well-written paper that focuses on two buildings if you chose an architect or three works of art if you chose an artist. Try to select famous examples of your chosen artist or architects work
because these will be better documented and researched. Remember that you will use these same artworks or buildings to discuss the style, creative methods, and sources of inspiration of their creator in the second part of the paper. The primary objective of this paper is to demonstrate your knowledge of the subject and your acquired skills of research, art analysis, and art appreciation. Make sure that you answer the following questions for each artwork.1. What does it look like?2. How would you categorize its style?3. What is the subject matter? What is the content?4. Does the form reflect the content? How?5. What visual elements and design aspects are emphasized? Why?6. How does the artist manipulate the technique or techniques to achieve a desired effect?
Remember to provide the following information for your chosen artworks or architectural examples: title, artist or architect, date, medium, and location.Task 3: For this part of the project, you need to produce a well-written paper that analyzes in detail three important aspects of the professional life and work of your chosen artist or architect. These are: The style of movement with which the majority of the work is associated. The artistic technique or techniques, methods, or systems of construction with which the majority of the work is produced. The ideas and sources of inspiration that can be detected in the artistic or architectural output you can focus primarily but not exclusively on examples you discussed in part I of the project. This part of the project also gives you the opportunity to go beyond the informed description and offer your own opinion about the work of the artist or architect. In order to do that, consider answering the questions: What do I like about the artist or architect? What are the qualities that I find most attractive in the work of the artist or architect? What is my judgement about the originality of the artwork of this artist or architect?
