Description

There’s a whole world of creativity out there to explore. Most of us probably think of paintings and sculpture when someone asks us, “What is art?” but the reality is that art encompasses so much more. There are many mediums to investigate, so many different techniques and methods of producing objects of beauty, and there are the art forms that encompass movement, sound, and performance. For this series of exercises students are encouraged to think outside the basics. There’s a lot of creativity to explore, here’s your opportunity to share the things that you find intriguing.

Expanding on the idea that art can be culturally determined and socially constructed through public forums, this week you'll view a film in order to identify the unique intersection of architecture and cinema. We don't always think about how important architectural features can prove in the cinematic experience, do we?

Here are two articles to further explore this topic: How Architecture Speaks Through Cinema and The Cinematography of Architecture. I recommend reading both before continuing.

The Task:

  1. Select a film of your choosing and include the title of the film and the year of release at the beginning of your review - add a link for the IMDB page if there is one. Next, review the film by responding to the prompts listed below: (20 points)

    For example: Pulp Fiction, 1994.
    Describe how this film might shape public perception.
    Identify the message or theme of this film.
    Explain how architecture influenced the production of this film.

  2. Your post should be a minimum of 250+ words and you should cite resources used. (5 points)
  3. Leave substantive* comments on THREE (3) other student posts – select ones who wrote about different examples than you selected. Use this as an opportunity to learn what they have to share. Each comment should be a minimum of 75+ words. (5 points each)
