2.
THE FORMAT
The paper should be between four and six double-spaced, typewritten pages…but if you want to write more, you can and should.
Please include a cover page with your name and the title of your paper (or the name of the image) at the front, and include a good quality copy of the image you select as the last page of your paper.
3.
CONTENTS
This paper is a visual analysis of a
single
image…it is a summation of everything you have learned in this course, as applied to the study of one single image.
Use what you have learned in this course to probe into the full meaning of the image.
Select a
single
image from any source (photo, painting, billboard, ad, etc.).
The image you pick may have multiple parts (images, words, etc.) but do not assemble a collection of images.
Pick
one
that you find absolutely fascinating, riveting, intriguing, or otherwise compelling enough to write about.
You can re-use an image you picked for one of the weekly assignments if you want, or select a new one.
4.
REQUIREMENTS
This is n
ot a research paper but a reaction paper…it is about your response to the image and what you think is important about it, what you notice in it, what you feel gives it its impact or its meaning in all the ways we have discussed.
No need for footnotes. If you want to use any quotes from the articles, chapters, or other texts just put the words within quote marks and state where they come from.

THE STRUCTURE
After the cover page, the paper itself should be in six parts:
Introduction
Write a paragraph or two introducing the image and explaining what attracted you
to it in the first place, why you thought it was interesting enough to write about.
Analysis
The bulk of the paper is going through the four approaches to meaning one by one
(Content, Appearance, Use, Context) and relating these to the image just as you
have done separately for various weekly image assignments.
Content: what are the important things you see in the image and how and
why do they contribute to the impact?
Appearance: what visual elements (colors, shapes, lines, etc.) and visual
principles (balance, hierarchy, etc.) seem to matter in this image
and why do they matter?
Use:
what aspects of how the image is being used matter here?
Who do
you think is using the image and in what ways and for what
purposes?
Context:
what else that you know or find out about the image seems to
affect it’s meaning or impact?
Summary
The last paragraph or two should summarize what you have said in the paper and

Analyzing Literature
Paul and Elder (2012) associate three phases with their definition of critical thinking (p. xix):
It analyzes thinking . . . By focusing on the parts of thinking in any situation—its purpose, question, information, inferences, assumptions, concepts, implications, and point of view.
It evaluates thinking . . . By figuring out its strengths and weaknesses: the extent to which it is clear, accurate, precise, relevant, deep, broad, logical, significant, and fair.
It improves thinking . . . By building on its strengths while reducing its weaknesses.
Your Literature Review assignment due this week will apply all of these phases of critical thinking to the scholarly sources you have selected. For this discussion activity, you will select one journal article you have selected for the Literature Review assignment and apply the first phase to analyze the thinking represented in the article:
First, describe the topics for which you researched relevant scholarly articles.
Next, identify one of these articles and explain how it is relevant to your topic.
Then use the
Elements of Thought Discussion Template [DOC]
to analyze the article:
What is the main purpose of the article?
What is the key question the author of the article is addressing?
What is the most important information in the article?
What key conclusions (inferences) did the author of the article come to and present?
What were the most important ideas (concepts) that one would need to understand to understand the author's line of reasoning?
What were the main assumptions (that is, what the author is taking for granted that might be questioned)?
What was the main point of view (that is, the author's perspective) presented in the article?
