your art, your ideology
-you will be writing about one of your piece of artwork, in terms of either Bakhtin or Baudrillard.

-I will attach my artwork to my account right away.

-My artwork is abstract, you can write whatever you want to write about it.
When you are ready to start outlining or writing a first draft, it might help to fill this out:

–The philosopher I choose is (Bakhtin, Baudrillard). Circle one.

–The example of my own artwork that I am going to analyze is ___________. Describe it by filling in the blank.

–The philosopher’s ideas I am going to write about in terms of my artwork are: Circle all that apply – for only ONE of the philosophers (the one you chose)! You do NOT need to write about all of the ideas for the philosopher you chose.

Bakhtin (Modules 8-10)

** Self-awareness through "the Other".

** "The "architectonics" of identity construction.

** The thirteen points of "the carnivalesque" (you don’t have to use all 13 points; you should use at least three (3), and may use more if desired).

Baudrillard (Modules 11-13)

** The "death of reality."

** The four stages of "simulation."

** Conceptual art and the "death of reality" as it applies to art.
Important notes about the essay assignment:

1. The essay should be 2-3 pages long.

2. It is NOT a research essay about Bakhtin or Baudrillard or the general ideas they are talking about. It is NOT a research essay about anything else outside of class. You should use the information from the Modules (about the philosopher’s ideas) and your own artwork
