Research: Review and Commence

Research: Review and Commence

Recap!- Just so I an have an S.O.S for brief:

1) A clear introduction to your presentation, which should also mention the

different published sources you have used and your reasons for choice. You

should use no less than 5 published sources to inform your presentation.

2) A clear definition of key ideas relating to your given topic, with supporting

evidence in the form of, no less than, 3 quotations from 3 different published

sources. Quotations must be interpreted and their importance discussed, they

should also be referenced correctly using the Harvard method.

3) The cultural context (political and social) in which the topic came out of/was in

reaction to.

4) An illustrated ‘who’s who’ of key individuals associated with given topic, with a

clear explanation of what you think their significance is and why.

5) Historical examples of key words/images/artefacts associated with given topic

and an assessment of their importance.

6) Contemporary examples of key words/images/artefacts associated with given

topic and a comparison to the historical examples.

7) A ‘bullet point’ conclusion.

8) A bibliography and illustration list correctly set out using the Harvard method.

9) A PDF version of presentation for uploading to myUCA.

Okay, so this is my first entry. Will hopefully blast through some of the research this Saturday and get the ball rolling on this one. I will be looking at the art form embodiment and the visual language of the piece, touching up on "Cubist", "War art before and after" (analysing Spanish Civil War and similar), and other forms of art at the time in regard to war.

Initial thoughts for further development: Lots of iconicography going on within Picasso's Guernica. In terms of activity, there is much going on. A good starting point would be to translate the symbolic use of animals and their purposes which contribute towards the depths and qualities: Really, the expression lies within the configuration of each and every detail through simple lines. Etc, etc.

Very brief for now, will update with more on Saturday!
