your art, your ideology
-you will be writing about one of your piece of artwork, in terms of either Bakhtin or Baudrillard.
-You will analyze your piece of art in terms of either Bakhtin’s or Baudrillard’s ideas
-I will attach my artwork to my account right away.
-My artwork is abstract, you can write whatever you want to write about it.
When you are ready to start outlining or writing a first draft, it might help to fill this out:
–The philosopher I choose is (Bakhtin, Baudrillard). Circle one.
–The example of my own artwork that I am going to analyze is ___________. Describe it by filling in the blank.
–The philosopher’s ideas I am going to write about in terms of my artwork are: Circle all that apply – for only ONE of the philosophers (the one you chose)! You do NOT need to write about all of the ideas for the philosopher you chose.
Bakhtin (Modules 8-10)
** Self-awareness through "the Other".
** "The "architectonics" of identity construction.
** The thirteen points of "the carnivalesque" (you don’t have to use all 13 points; you should use at least three (3), and may use more if desired).
Baudrillard (Modules 11-13)
** The "death of reality."
** The four stages of "simulation."
** Conceptual art and the "death of reality" as it applies to art.
Important notes about the essay assignment:
1. The essay should be 2-3 pages long.
2. It is NOT a research essay about Bakhtin or Baudrillard or the general ideas they are talking about. It is NOT a research essay about anything else outside of class. You should use the information from the Modules (about the philosopher’s ideas) and your own artwork
