Mini-presentation on state portrait question (your choice of the following questions;
will be worth 10-15 pts)
-
What are 2 or 3 examples
of mini-presentation portraits that tie into a theme of state portraiture we
covered in class last Thurs? (explain/connect)
-
Or, are there new themes
emerging in terms of state portraiture and the display of power in the modern
era?
[reference 2 or 3
examples presented]
-
Or, does the medium (i.e., photography) play a different
role now? (again, cite a couple
examples)
*you will find images to
refer to in the Mini-presentation Powerpoint, that
I’ve uploaded to Moodle
Short essay question: [you will be shown two “unknown” portraits,
one of a male, one of a female,
from
the Early Modern period] How do these
images tie-into portrait “conventions” for the representation
of
(some) men and (some) women in this early modern period? In your discussion refer to specific visual
elements
you are seeing here and tie-into portraits we have studied in class (identify
by artist/title); and also
relate
to any socio-historical aspects of gender we considered. (question worth 20
or 25 pts)
