Art Report Assignment
You will give a 5-10 minute talk about some example of game art (any game, not necessarily a videogame), indicating:
- The distinctive features of this example: what makes it recognizable, or noticeably different from other graphics produced at about the same time.
- Why this work is important: most immediately, to you, but ideally also to the larger community of game designers: Did this artwork start a trend, or suggest the limits of a dominant fashion? Did it bring to light a new technique or technical effect? What influence has it had on later work?
Your presentation will be accompanied by at least one graphic (or video) presentable via the Web (i.e., by hitting a Web page).
On the day of your report, submit a one-page summary of your remarks, including a link to any graphics you show. No one will receive a mark above B+ without submitting the summary. Summaries will be treated as late if not submitted on the day of your presentation. If your presentation is rescheduled, the due date for your summary is changed accordingly.
