CONTEMPORARY ADAPTATION ASSIGNMENT
SUMMARY:
Identify the key stylistic features of historical dress from a specific time period. Research and identify contemporary images that reflect similarities with their historical counterparts and demonstrate a contemporary adaptation of the historical clothing or accessory. Present a historical and a contemporary image side by side with a statement explaining the stylistic commonalities and cultural significance of each garment.
REQUIREMENTS:
Use only 8½” x 11” size paper for each adaptation. Each adaptation should include two pages. Place both images on the same page side by side with the image citations following instructions listed under Page One. Your statement should be on a separate page following instructions listed under Page Two. Make sure your name is on every page. Pages that are incorrectly formatted will lose points.
PAGE ONE:
1.Include a title with the correct historical time period.
2.Attach a visual representation depicting a historical piece of clothing from the appropriate time period—use the time periods listed below. For your historical example try to find images of actual sources of evidence such as artwork (sculpture, paintings, frescoes, friezes, stamps, illuminated manuscripts, pottery, etc.), or extant garments. Secondary illustration of historical garments (i.e. any drawing that is less than 100 years old or is a drawing of another artwork) will receive fewer points. The level of thought and depth of research you incorporate in finding your images will be reflected in your grade. For example, images from course lectures or your textbook are acceptable but are not considered well researched and will likely result in lower points.
3.Attach a visual representation depicting a contemporary piece of clothing from anytime within the last 12 months. This may be an original photograph, scanned from a magazine, book, or other photo, or copied from the Internet. If you have questions about the time period of any of your images please feel free to email the image link to the professor or TA.
4.Include all of the sources, accurately documented, for your visual images below each image.
PAGE TWO:
Critical Thinking: for each adaptation, write a concise description/justification of your choices that is no more than 300 words (11point font, Times New Roman). The description/justification statement should be double spaced on one sheet of paper. If you go over one page 300 word limit then you need to edit some of your writing or you will have points deducted. The level of thought and imagination of your answer will determine your points. For example if all of your “meanings” are only about status then your points may reflect your lack of imagination. Include answers to the following:
a) Why do you think your contemporary garment is an adaptation of your historical garment?
b) What is interesting about the comparison of these two garments?
c) Describe who would have worn the historical garment and who will wear the contemporary garment and why.
d) Suggest any meanings these garments may have when they are worn and what image might be projected to society.
Refer to chapter 1 in your textbook as well as themes/concepts covered in class. Include any/all of your statement citations together on one page organized by time period. The citation bibliography can be an additional page at the end of your file document.
