Astronomy Art. Visual & Performing Arts Coursework

artro 7n
this is a art Astro 7n project, i need to draw a picture about planets and then a essay to introduce about the planet. the introduction is upload to you.

So, for reviewers: bear in mind the point here is to determine whether the basic tasks as described above have been generally fulfilled — and not to give a rigor efforts. Be aware that the instructors and TAs will be reviewing these peer evaluations, and we expect thoughtfulness and courtesy be faithfully maintained.
To get started, read the following two articles:
• On the Relationship between Astronomy and Art
• About Colors in Nature
Then review this summary of Units 1 & 2 in the astro game, along with some background information that may help you form ideas for your work:
• Art Project 1 Background Information
And then look over the Art Project 1 Instructions and Timeline.
Art Project 1 Introduction
Overview of the Assignment...
The Purpose:
Gain insight into the methods of "astronomical artists," science illustrators in general, or even speculative science-fiction and fantasy artists, by recreating some of the processes by which their art work is created.
Understand how such artwork can be informed by science, and how plausible "artists' depictions" of far-away worlds are often created by referencing previously-observed environments or looking to terrestrial analogues to the subjects. Consider the appropriate level of "artistic license" for purposes of clearer illustration, and its occasional trade-off with strict scientific accuracy.
As much as possible maintain an overall sense for immersion, compelling imagery, a human connection and perspective. Seek inspiration to create dramatic imagery, and then to inspire your audience.
Your Task:
Create a "planetary landscape!"
What we mean: Imagine yourself as an explorer of some planet, or moon, or comet, or asteroid — not viewing it from afar, but up-close, and in-person. Perhaps you have just landed on its surface and are taking a look around, or are soaring through its skies, diving into a sea, visiting a crater, volcano, glacier, etc. What do you see?
Your chosen world can be either based on a real planet or moon (like one we have covered in Units 1 & 2 in the astronomy game), or one from your own imagination (but with some basis in the science of objects we do know about).
Base your choices of surface formations, atmospheric features, colors, etc. on material you have so far covered in the astronomy lessons in this course, or other references you may gather. Two readings, on the history of astronomical art and on colors, are here in Canvas to help you get started. You are certainly encouraged to do a little extra research, should you choose; but, as a baseline your work should reflect familiarity with and understanding of the material so far presented in the astronomy portion of this course (that is, in Units 1 & 2).
For this project you have your choice of visual media to use — be it "traditional" [e.g., paints, ink, pencil, sculpture, etc.) or digital (like digital painting, an edited/layered photo composition, rendered 3-D model, etc.). Whatever media you choose, the work will need to be transmitted through Canvas in a digital image format (like a .jpg, .png, etc.) embedded in a file along with a written portion (details, below) — so any works in traditional media will need to be photographed or scanned (you will not need to turn in your original "hard copy").
You will also be expected to write a short accompanying statement explaining your work — the background information, references, and reasoning behind your choices in the depiction.
Following that idea of being a "planetary explorer," as in your art creation, in this writing you can explain what you see and how you make sense of it — again, based on the background knowledge you bring to it. If your artwork is based on a real world, how do things look, up close? If it is an imaginary world, how is it similar to and/or different from some of the worlds you have studied before?
This statement combined with your image(s) will be what you upload to Canvas.
Criteria/Grading:
Your art work and accompanying statement will be submitted online (Canvas), to be viewable by the course instructors and by fellow members within a small (randomly-assigned) group of your classmates.
You will each provide peer-evaluations of each other's work, using a simple grading rubric (to be provided), to generally assess whether a given submission satisfactorily includes and addresses the following...
• Is the art work — image(s) — "complete"?
° That is to say: level of artistic skill aside, is the submitted imagery at a sufficient stage of completeness that it is generally "readable" (and not a partial work or work-in-progress)?
° Also: (as best you can determine) Is the submission an original work? — that is: even if elements are borrowed from reference photos, or the subjects otherwise inspired by previous work,... does the sum of the submitted work represent an overall new image?
• Is there an accompanying written statement?
° Does the statement explain the artist's general intentions with the piece? Are the central themes and subjects identified and explained? — that is: are the inspiration and reasoning behind choices of subjects, forms, colors, etc., sufficiently covered, with references as appropriate?
Remember that this Astro 7N course is not a studio art course, and we do not expect any certain level or artistic skill in these landscapes. Just give an honest best effort. If that means thinking back to a time when you were younger, day-dreaming of exotic worlds, and felt compelled to reach for a box of crayons, or colored paper, or clay, etc. — so for it. We want you to be inspired by the subject matter, of the possibilities presented, and to have some fun with this!
So, for reviewers: bear in mind the point here is to determine whether the basic tasks as described above have been generally fulfilled — and not to give a rigorous or harsh deconstruction of your peers' honest best efforts. Be aware that the instructors and TAs will be reviewing these peer evaluations, and we expect thoughtfulness and courtesy be faithfully maintained through the process.
