Your proposal
should describe the main ideas / concepts you are interested in and
the ways you plan to make them visible in your project. What you
plan to do, why you want to do it, and how you
will go about doing it. Discuss your influences - artists, popular
culture, personal experiences and the research you plan to do.
Consider:
CONCEPT--What ideas inspire the work you are going
to create?
CREATIVITY--How do you best and most originally
convey your ideas?
COMPOSITION--What will the end result look like? How
will you arrange your work to best convey your ideas?
CRAFTMANSHIP--How will you present the final work? How
will the parts of the work mesh together to create one unified
artwork?
Proposals
are tools of creativity. If you are concerned that you will be tied
down to the ideas written about in your proposal and that it will
stifle your creativity, please know that it is fine if you change
your ideas while you are working on your project. Proposals are graded
separately from the artwork. Be open to allowing your artwork to
inform your ideas along the way; as long as you make great work,
changes from your proposal will not affect your grade. The main purpose
of this proposal is to get you to start with a good idea.
What
to turn in:
Proposals should
be at least one full page in length and no more than two pages.
Electronic document should be double-spaced, with 1 to 1.25 inch
margins and font should be 12 point, Times-roman. It must be

and spelling. Sentences
that are merely "filler" will not be counted towards the
full page of text.

later that same day, is considered late. If you
must turn in a late paper your grade will be reduced by one
letter grade for class period it is late,
regardless of whether or not class is held.
