The New Deal

Wikipedia on the New Deal...

The New Deal was a series of economic programs implemented in the United States between 1933 and 1936. They were passed by the U.S. Congress during the first term of PresidentFranklin D. Roosevelt.

Here's our new deal...

No papers/tests.

in exchange for...

1.Make up one fictional artist per week from the decade discussed in class. Make sure to include some research on the time period as well, including any social or political changes that might have influenced the artist. Think about how your fictional artist relates to other artists of that time period. Who did they hang out with? What did they drink? What were their opinions about life, the world, art, madness, etc.

2. Using the tools at your disposal, create a piece of art inspired by the aesthetics and philosophies of the artist you chose. The piece can be still, animated or even interactive.

3. Post the work on a blog, along with a brief (3-4 paragraph) description of the art and bio of the artist.

I will grade the work not only on the aesthetic success of the work, but also on the conceptual philosophies driving the piece as they relate to the description of the artist you create, so feel free to get very creative in terms of how you execute each piece, and think about how the processes you are using relate to the ideas of the artist and movement they are a part of, along with the changing world around them.
