American sculpture PPP

Locate examples of contemporary American sculpture on the Internet that are not included in the text. You might include examples of each of the following: Art Deco, Social Realism, Modernism, Surrealism, direct carving, Abstract Expressionism, found objects, Pop Art, Minimalism, and Process Art.

Prepare a 5- to 7-minute Microsoft® PowerPoint® presentation in which you address ONE of the following:

  • MOVEMENTS:  How do the different sculpture movements reflect the development of sculpture in the 20th century?  
  • MATERIALS:  What type of materials did artists use to create their sculptures?  Why did different artists/movements use different materials?
  • CULTURAL EXPRESSION:  How did the cultural values of the 20th century influence the styles of sculpture?

In each of the above choices, you will show us THREE images that illustrate your argument.  As you present this, help us look CLOSELY at the images to help us understand this.

Please note:  your presentation will be timed.  You cannot earn higher than a B+ on it if you go over or above the time given.  This means using a stopwatch would be a good idea.
