The above Painting 1 students will be required to do a 10 minute presentation on a contemporary artist or contemporary art movement. This assignment is for clarifying what Contemporary Art is in terms of new contemporary ideas for art in the 21 Century.

This assignment will require you to focus your research in the Architecture/Fine Arts Library or other libraries. This assignment does not require presenting contemporary painters, but does require contemporary ideas that could be used in painting practices. You may use images from on line but all text information should come from your research from texts in the library.

Generally enough information and a variety of images should be presented in the 10 min presentation to inspire a 5 minute discussion and or comments from peers in the class. DVD players, web access and a data projector will be available. Please indicate by Thursday January 29 if you require any other type of A/V equipment that is not listed above.
Bring images in Jpeg format and links that can be accessed on line.
