Artistic Representation

The 4th and final component of your Honors/Seminar project is the artistic representation. It must reflect your topic and is due ______-

An artistic representation can be a portrait or model dealing with your topic. You will be graded on 4 aspects (worth 25 points each)

  1. Creativity—basically “thinking outside the box.” What I mean by this is if your topic is, for example King Tut and you construct a basic Egyptian pyramid, you are not being creative. A creative project would be a scaled model of King Tut’s tomb with details inside (the structure, what filled the pyramid, where the mummy was located, etc.)
  2. Relevance to topic—let’s say your topic is again King Tut. If you construct a pyramid from those at Giza, that is not relevant to King Tut.
  3. Visual Appeal/Neatness—I am not an artist myself, but I do things in a neat way. A poor artistic representation is sloppy, has glue showing, missing parts, etc. Make sure you clean up your model/portrait and make it look visually pleasing. You can check out some in the media center for examples of great artistic representations.
  4. Paragraph—your model must have a typed paragraph explaining the model, how it was constructed, and how it represents your topic. Spelling, grammar, and length (4-6 sentences) will count. This must be typed with your name, model, class period, and date. I will NOT accept handwritten paragraphs.

**ALL PROJECTS ARE DUE BY 3:40 ON ______- I WILL NOT ACCEPT LATE PROJECTS---EVEN IF YOU ARE ABSENT.
