What you need to do: 1. Choose one artwork from the Lightbox Cycle 4 that interests you. 1.  You can find the list of the artworks on The Blackwood Gallery's website. Links to an external site. .

 Take note of your first impressions seeing the artwork online. 2. Visit the Lightbox in person and examine it closely.   Take notes on the visual features of the artworks, such as colour, shape, line, texture, perspective, etc. Use the elements of art and principles of design as a guide.  Take notes on your instincts about the meaning of visual elements. Are there connotations that are obvious? Are there ambiguous elements?  Take notes on the surrounding area. How is the Lightbox presented? How does the surrounding physical space affect your viewing?   Lightbox Cycle 4 can be seen on campus at the locations Z1-Z4 (in red) on this map:

3. Choose 1 key term from this list that will serve as a critical lens for your analysis in Essay 2.   Your chosen key term should be useful and relevant. Does it help illuminate something about the Lightbox's meaning? Does it help contextualize that meaning across online and in-person contexts? Also think about whether the term offers enough depth for analysis. Will it allow you to explore the artwork’s meaning in a nuanced way? 4. Research 1 scholarly source that is not the textbook and not the Blackwood Gallery website.   This source could provide theoretical background, contextual information, or critical perspectives that will inform your analysis.   Start your search at the U of T Library website 

 What counts as a scholarly source? | University of Toronto Libraries (utoronto.ca)  Request items from other campus libraries (Library Pickup) | University of Toronto Libraries (utoronto.ca) .  Though the textbook cannot be your scholarly sources in this assignment, it can be a good source for research.   Look at the notes and the “further reading” sections at the end of textbook chapters where your key term appears; these are good academic sources and many of them are available through the U of T Library website.
