Installation Art
This
is an installation art piece that represents the Japanese Internment in the
United States during World War II. Many
people who were Japanese or of Japanese descent on the West Coast were forced
from their homes and sent to internment camps until the end of the war. This art piece is a collection of luggage
tags that the Japanese had to put on their suitcases. It shows the number of people that were sent
away.
This
installation art piece is in remembrance of 9/11. "In observance of the tenth anniversary
of 9/11, Illegal Art has marked each of the 110 floors on the sidewalk with
chalk, starting at 5th Avenue and 14th Street and heading north for 1,368 feet
(417 meters), the height of the taller of the two towers. Passersby, like yourself, are encouraged to
walk the height of the once standing building along 5th Avenue and write any
words that expresses your feeling or experience related to 9/11."

MEMORIAL:
A memorial is an object, which serves as a focus for memory
of something or someone. Examples are
plaques, sculptures, monuments, statues, fountains, or parks. (You cannot do a plaque or a park – nor can
you simply do a statue of an American Indian).
Memorials are often very symbolic in their design. For example, some Holocaust memorials include
barbed wire, symbolizing the wire used to contain them. If you choose to do a memorial you must have:
______ A well-drawn
design of your memorial (this is not a quick drawing) (20

incorporated symbol that has a connection to your topic (5 points)

“INSTALLATION” ART:
“Installation” art is an art piece that is 3-D that can be
found within a museum or in a site-specific space. While a memorial has symbolic elements,
“installation” art is completely symbolic and raises awareness. It also can be interactive. It is art that really makes the viewer think
about what is symbolizes, but it also makes them look inward. If you choose to do an “installation” art
piece you must have:
______ A well-drawn
design of your “installation” art (this is not a quick drawing)
(20 points)

is it symbolic) (10 points)
