PROMPT: Select an example of public art(outdoor art) in Philadelphia. (See PEX #3 Resources at Canvas for guidance.) Your artifact must be something new to you, something to visit and observe in person, if at all possible. Observe it
deeply from different perspectives and points of view (scale, material, siting, lighting, texture, color, etc.) Delve into your choice via research in books, videos, articles, etc. Digest all that you have experienced, learned and considered and
produce a double-spaced PEX REPORT in these clearly identified sections:
Identification: Title, Artist or Maker, Date, Size, Medium, Location. Include reference image and a URL, if possible.
Section I: Observation. Develop a detailed description of the piece (form, color, texture, materials, lighting and any
other relevant visual information, This requires close, extended, direct experience. Visualize the object for your reader in explicit detail. Do not convey information from research here. This section is entirely devoted to your real-life experience with your chosen piece.
Section II: Context. Approach your piece of public art as a detective. Research deeply. Then report on your research.
What are facts and aspects important to know and understand? Present the who, what where and when. Consult the
most reliable, substantive, authoritative sources (books, articles, websites, interviews, etc.) to present what is relevant
and essential to know.
Section III: Analysis. This section is the culmination of your PEX report. It can only be completed until after substantive observation and research are complete. Explain why the piece was made, what it was meant to express, why it was
installed where it is. Consider and describe its creative intent. Explain its cultural significance. Suggest in your own words and with the quoted and credited words of others why the artifact is the way it is and what it says or might reveal.
Section IV. Sources/Bibliography. Good reference material will help you achieve an otherwise unattainable clarity and
depth of understanding in your context and analysis sections. Find, use and present at least four substantial, relevant,
reliable and varied sources: books, encyclopedias (hard copy and/or online), scholarly articles, exhibition catalogs,
robust museum websites, podcasts, videos, etc. Wikipedia, tourism websites, most news stories and online dictionaries are not substantial. They can be consulted but should not be considered reliable sources. Class lectures or assigned
readings are not acceptable sources. Citing the artifact’s URL is not acceptable in this section. As to bibliographical
format: I prefer Chicago style, but be consistent in whatever style you use.
Murals are off limits. The Magic Garden is off limits, too, as are the Liberty Bell, Rocky, the Clothespin, LOVE or AMOR statues. Buildings and gardens are off limits.
