Art & Identity Research Project

For this final project you will research two (2) contemporary artists who deal with the theme of
identity. In addition, you will reflect upon and propose an imagined artwork that relates to your own
concept of identity. (Do not worry if you are not artistically inclined, you are NOT expected to create an
actual finished art piece; it is merely a proposal for something you imagine.). The final project will be
presented as a well-researched PowerPoint presentation. Scholarly research and a Works Cited
page/slide are important components of this project.

1. Engage with the presentation: “Art & Identity”
2. Read/review the following from the textbook: Chapter 3.10 (The Late Twentieth Century and Art of the
   Present Day), 4.9 (The Body in Art) and 4.10 (Identity, Race, & Gender in Art); pp. 180 (grey box)\
