Project Description
Imagine that you are approached by a gallery or museum and asked to create a thematic exhibition of the history of design. Prepare a prospectus for that exhibit. This prospectus is your final project and will consist of an appropriate title, introduction, and images of at least five works of art with accompanying text, conclusion, and bibliography. Choose a topic that will allow you to cover a broad chronological range (at least four periods/style movements plus contemporary) and at least two different design mediums (e.g., graphic design, industrial design, etc.).
Presentation and Style
Audience/Tone: Your exhibit labels and text should be written in the objective voice; the tone should be engaging and accessible but professional. Keep the exhibition’s viewer in mind—the viewer may have no knowledge of art or design history, so you will need to provide clear explanations of concepts, vocabulary, styles, periods, etc.
Structure, Format, Clarity, Grammar/Spelling
Content
1. Creative title and introductory plaque text: Give your exhibit a title that is appropriate for your topic and write a paragraph or two introducing the exhibition (this would serve as the introductory plaque your exhibit-goers would read upon entering the exhibition). This should include a strong thesis statement, which you will support throughout the exhibit through carefully selected works of art.
2. Works of art and accompanying text: Each work should be carefully selected to support your theme and thesis. You must provide one image from each of the five periods you chose, plus a contemporary example (for a total of six images). For each image, provide full identification and the following information:
3. Exhibit Conclusion: Write a concluding paragraph directed toward your exhibit viewers. What final thoughts (or even questions) will you leave them with as they exit?
4. Bibliography: Include a bibliography of properly formatted citations (MLA style). Include the course textbook and any other published, credible sources you consult for this project.

FAS 320 Final Project Guidelines and Rubric
Overview In this final project, you will select and curate at least six thematically connected works of art that support an identified thesis about a significant cultural issue.
You will have the opportunity to demonstrate your command of visual analysis and historical research, while at the same time expressing your own passions,
worldview, or personal interests. The product of your investigation and analyses will be documented in an exhibit prospectus. The project is divided into two
milestones, which will be submitted at various points throughout the course to scaffold learning and ensure quality final submissions. These milestones will be
submitted in Modules Three and Five. The final product will be submitted in Module Seven.
In this assignment, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following course outcomes:
Analyze the history and evolution of design, including major artistic movements from the Industrial Revolution to today
Classify works of art according to period based on their expression of stylistic influences
Assess the role of the individual and society in personally and communally constructing cultural significance for works of art
Analyze the subject matter of artwork to determine thematic elements using appropriate terminology
Prompt Your exhibit prospectus should be a polished proposal for an original collection of works of art that are each carefully analyzed and that clearly demonstrate
your overall thesis.
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:
I. Introduction
A. Set the stage for your exhibit by providing an overview of the various artists, periods, and artistic movements that you plan to showcase. Be sure
to comment on the thematic ties that bind your works together, as well as provide examples of how your selected works may not “fit the mold”
of their time period or your audience’s expectations.
2
B. Identify a thesis for your exhibit that addresses a significant cultural issue. Make sure your thesis is specific enough to offer a unique perspective
while still being clear and concise.
II. Selection of Works of Art: You should include quality images of all of the pieces of art you have selected for your exhibit. They should be from an
authoritative source (e.g., a museum, gallery, or academic institution) to ensure they have not been edited or manipulated from the original.
A. Select a minimum of six works of art that all contribute to the identified thesis.
B. Your selected works of art should be sequenced chronologically according to period and purposefully organized to create flow and continuity.
C. Additionally, your selected works must reflect at least three different artistic mediums discussed in the course.
D. Finally, at least five different design periods or styles (including contemporary) discussed in the course should be represented.
III. Individual Artwork Commentaries: Underneath each of your selected works of art, include a detailed commentary.
A. Identify the factual information available for the work of art, including title, date, artist, dimensions, location, and medium, using appropriate
citations formatted in MLA style.
B. Situate the work of art within its historical context by explaining the artistic movements of the time as well as any sociocultural realities that are
relevant to understanding or appreciating the work of art using specific details.
C. Describe the subject matter in detail and identify all reasonably discernable formal elements that are present.
D. Assess the work of art for its broader thematic elements or figurative meanings, based on your analysis of the subject matter and form.
E. Interpret the work of art in terms of its cultural significance in a way that supports your overall thesis.
F. Apply appropriate terminology for each individual work of art analysis.
Milestones Milestone One: Topic Proposal/Thesis
In Module Three, you will submit your thesis and exhibit explanation to your instructor for approval. Remember that the topic you choose must allow you to
connect several works of art/design objects by tracing a particular theme or concept in those examples. You must also include three of the images you plan to
use for your final project and provide full identification and citations for each image. This milestone will be graded with the Milestone One Rubric.
Milestone Two: Outline
3
In Module Five, you will submit an outline that includes your topic and the thesis statement from Final Project Milestone One, which should be revised according
to the instructor feedback you received. You must include at least five images (one visual example from at least four different historical style movements, plus
one contemporary visual example). Each image should be identified in full: title of work or description of object (e.g., ceramic bowl), artist or designer, date of
creation, medium (e.g., lithograph poster, bronze sculpture, etc.), and design style (e.g., De Stijl). Under each image, you will provide a brief summary of one to
two paragraphs of the required accompanying text for each image (see final project guidelines). This milestone will be graded with the Milestone Two Rubric.
Final Submission: Exhibit Prospectus
In Module Seven, you will submit your final project. It should be a complete, polished artifact containing all of the critical elements of the final product. It should
reflect the incorporation of feedback gained throughout the course. This submission will be graded with the Final Project Rubric.
Final Project Rubric Guidelines for Submission: Submit assignment as a Word document with double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, and one-inch margins.
