This essay is designed to build on the research and academic skills you have developed through the completion of assignment one. For assignment two, you are asked to compare and contrast the views of authorities in order to build an analysis of the work of modernist practitioners. To evidence your argument, you must make use of your visual analysis skills established through participation in tutorials.
Your brief:
Compare and contrast the work of two modernist practitioners. That is, select two singular works from separate artists/designers/photographers. The works selected need not come from the same discipline. For example, you might choose one modernist example of architecture and one modernist example of photography.
For example, your research essay question may be:
Compare and contrast Le Corbusier’s Villa Savoye with Marianne Brandt’s Teapot in relation to the modernist concept of Form Follows Function.
Your essay must refer directly to each practitioner’s work and discuss specific elements of the work/s that are indicative of the modernist characteristics you identify. Good quality, colour images must be included. Your discussion must consider the significance of these characteristics within the broader context of modernist theory and visual practice. Your argument should refer to no less than eight (8) scholarly research sources (authorities), three of which should be scholarly journal articles. No more than two sources should be web-based. (Please note that anonymous web-based articles are not generally considered to be reliable academic sources.)
