Assignment Four<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Select a current artist and designer and relate the process and design format for each. Compare and contrast the process and style to each other please use distinct historical references. Since this class is based on visual references particular attention is paid to composition and format. Students are asked to review and select these artists and designers from a modern style \u2013 1930s to 1980s and from a post modernist style \u2013 1980s to present. A supplemental reading is prescribed, typically one that deals with the concepts of \u201chigh\u201d and \u201clow\u201d art. The student is asked to identify each selected work as \u201chigh\u201d or \u201clow\u201d art and to contrast and compare the work as it pertains to its communicative ability within its historical context and its reach and interaction towards a combination of art or design.\u00a0Students are then asked to critique the work from the prescribed design vocabulary and to write to that fact within their papers. A formal presentation is done to expose the class to a wider range of artists and designers.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Paper 4 Outline<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Artists and Designers<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n This assignment is focused on showing the similarities and differences between a specific artist and a designer.
