Choose a town or country house to visit. The idea of this visit is to look for evidence of how art has been used as part of a way of life, whether aristocratic or bourgeois. Reception rooms may be spacious, perhaps with murals, tapestries or sculpture. In a smaller house your interest is likely to focus on private rooms, with their more intimate detail and decoration β a drawing room or a study containing well-loved objects.
Write an illustrated account of your visit in your learning log. You may also be able to order audio-visual material as well as guidebooks, etc. Course Notes p As with the previous assignments, I have made the assignment as a pdf document which can be downloaded here: Assignment 5 PDF submission and additionally here is the link to the word review PDF submission. Assignment 5 pdf Review pdf. The assignment includes:.
On the run up to creating assignment 5, again I re-read the feedback from previous assignments because that seemed to help with the other assignments. Again, for all parts of the assignment I did preparation blogposts which allowed me to get my notes out of my system so I could broadly keep within the word limits.
It seems so pointless, especially with the larger font formatting as per Assignment 4 feedback. There is hardly room for any information. Even so I could only reduce to 5 pages. As we get more mordern the content is getting more and more interesting.
Reflection on annotations:. Whilst I was creating the actual annotations I changed the ordering to be more chronologic because it made sense to see how Braque developed even though I started to study them the other way around. I feel like my prep notes are a bit all over the place this time because I was doing them concurrently, I think this might have resulted in more interesting final pdf pages though even if the synthesis on the learning log is a bit messy.
