For this assignment you will need to watch the following videos. It would be a good idea for you to briefly look at these artists’ work online beforehand, so that you have a frame of reference as you watch.

Susan Hiller (95 mins) (Links to an external site.)
Simon Fujiwara (53 mins) (Links to an external site.)
Christine Sun Kim (23 mins)  (Links to an external site.)

You are asked to identify the artistic methods and strategies these artists use when making their work. Artistic methods can be in the context of:

how an artist makes decisions about what they want to explore in their work,
the processes they go through in planning and implementing a project,
the approaches they take to explore and realize their ideas,
the choices they make while producing the work materially,
the ways in which they exhibit their work in public contexts,
the way they choose to speak about their work.
Make a list of the methods and strategies you identify as you watch through the videos, and submit your list by midnight Wednesday February 12. Your final list should contain a minimum of 10 items, each indicating the relevant artist.

Choose two of the four forms of composition discussed in Part 4 of your textbook (Sonata, Theme and Variations, Minuet and Trio, Rondo).

Do some research (YouTube, Google) and find one example of each of these two forms written by one of the three composers from the Classical Era, but not the one who is featured for that form in the text. So, (for example) if you choose Sonata form, do not use Mozart’s music, choose a piece by Haydn or Beethoven.

Be aware that the term “Sonata” can be used to describe the piano sonatas of various composers.  This means that the entire piano sonata has three movements (or sections) and one or more of those may be in sonata form.  Likewise, a symphony may have four movements but only one or two of those movements might be in Sonata Form.  We are looking for a specific movement of a concerto, sonata, symphony, string quartet piece, etc., that is written in the Sonata Form.

Do not just list the forms.  Discuss the form.  What makes it a “sonata”?  How is it different from other forms?  How does this piece specifically fit the form?
