Contemporary Art Unit Critical Response File -- 2
Budget: $40 – $100 AUD
Critical Response File for Histories of the Contemporary Art Unit
Assessment Summary:
This assessment is designed to provide you with an opportunity to respond to the lecture and course material. Each week (from week 1-5), a question will be asked in the lecture which will be based on that week’s content. You are to respond in 300 words, using your understanding based on the lecture, tutorial discussions, and set readings. While you do not have to do additional research, it is recommended if you require clarification or extension. Your writing should be concise and clear, and directly respond to the question, demonstrating knowledge of the weekly content. Your writing style should be academic, supporting your answers with evidence and analysis. You are encouraged to produce the responses consistently throughout the course.
THIS ASSESSMENT REQUIRES YOU TO:
• Attend the lecture and get the Critical Response File Question.
• Respond to the question (300 words per response), with the question and week number at the top of each response. You should have 5 in total.
• If you use sources, reference them using APA referencing style with a bibliography.
Critical Response File Questions:
Week 1: What is your favourite artwork? How does it challenge or highlight some of the problems with art “history”?
Week 2: Modernism can be characterised by opposites that occur at the same time. Discuss how one of these “opposites” frames or influences something you do every day.
Week 3: Using one impact of industrialisation outlined in the lecture, discuss how it shapes your understanding of your own creative practice or writing.
Week 4: Why do artists use their own body as a tool and site for art? Use one example from your own artmaking, or from the lecture, to demonstrate your answer.
Week 5: Using one example, describe one decolonial strategy artists use to critique Eurocentric culture.
Submission Details:
Upload one electronic file (Word or PDF) of all your responses to the Assessment Submission link on Moodle by Friday 11:55 pm of Week 7.

I have also uploaded an edited document of the brief and left some suggestions and info on my own art.
