COURSE: World Literature & Composition

UNIT: Nonfiction

PROJECT: ART BROCHURE

DUE:

Overview/Purpose: This project focuses on your understanding of three types of nonfiction,

each with a different purpose: writing to inform, writing to persuade, and writing to analyze.

To test your understanding of the different purposes, you will create a brochure for an

art exhibit that features informative, persuasive, and analytical writing. Your will study and

read about artwork from around the world, and then choose one artist to research in depth.

You will then imagine that a museum in town is hosting an exhibit of that artist, and you

are responsible for creating a brochure to promote it. The brochure must include obvious

examples of persuasive writing (i.e., convincing people to come to the exibit), informative

writing (i.e., factual details about the artist), and analytical writing (i.e., detailed description

and analysis of the meaning of a work of art).

STEPS:

1. Choose an artist to research in depth.

2. Imagine this artist’s work is being featured at the High Museum of Art, or any

museum or gallery.

3. Create a brochure to promote your artist’s exhibit. The brochure must include

obvious examples of persuasive writing (i.e., convincing people to come to the exhibit),

detailed description and analysis of the meaning of a work of art).
