Realistic Art
Museums are collections of artifacts. Although museums can represent interests from fine arts to whaling, people who visit museums fail to realize that every exhibit, every display case, represents human decisions: some individuals or group of individuals has to decide to include a specific piece of art or an artifact in the museum’s collection.
--from AP Central/College Board 2007B Synthesis Question
{Remember you have to convince me to support your display. You may want to look at the next few slides for some insights before you begin.}
Introduction…
You are the procurer for a museum of which I am the director. I would like to have a display or exhibit of realistic/naturalistic/regional art. I want to display a minimum of 2 different artists and 4 works in this exhibit. You are on a mission to find the required items.
Situation:
Write a proposal that defends your choice of artists and works based on the elements of art and the themes that they share. Be specific and thorough in your defense of your choices.
Task:
The still-life paintings, the portraits, the scenes which Whalley details are not mere imitations of unimproved nature. The artist infuses a new strength, quiet dignity, and beauty into a familiar setting. His focus on his subject elevates its importance, significance and depth. Colors, forms, textures and meanings all have strength as they are bonded into a single image where their graceful blend establishes appreciation from even the most casual of observers.[4]—S. William Pelletier

Elements of Realism
The setting can be so integral to the story that it sometimes becomes a character in itself.
Characters in these stories adhere to traditional gender, ethnic, and socioeconomic roles.
Thematically, many regional and local color stories share an aversion to change and a weakness for sentimentality.
