Question 1: Art of the Americas This week, we studied a vast array of cultural objects produced in North, South, and Central America prior to 1492. Select one object from each of the following cultures: Aztec, Inca, and North (Native) American. First, identify each object, including its name, date, medium, and location/geographical region of origin. Then, in a minimum of 2 well-developed paragraphs, address the following questions for each object: What are the unique and specific visual characteristics of the object? How are these visual characteristics typical of the time and place in which the object was created? How does meaning or function of the object reflect the culture in which it was produced? Question 2: Neoclassicism, Romanticism, and Realism Beginning in the 19th century, artistic movements carry the suffix “-ism” to their name. Originally derived from Ancient Greek, “-isms” is appended to a word that then reflects a philosophical concept. In the case of art, it comes to mean the philosophy or approach to art that binds a group of artists together. Select one representative example from each of the following “-isms” studied this week: Neoclassicism, Romanticism, and Realism. In 3 well-developed paragraphs, discuss: What is the philosophy or approach to art that is defined by the –ism. What are the specific visual characteristics of your example that are representative of the overall style of the –ism? How does the specific subject of your selected work reflect the philosophy of the –ism? ...

For this assignment you are going to look at the art and architecture created by the people we are studying this semester. Art is not just fun to look at, it tells us something significant about the people that created it. This is a chance for you to look at the objects people created in the past and to use those objects to discover more about history. Assignment Instructions: This assignment will require you to use your knowledge of the different civilizations we have discussed and apply them to understanding the art created in the places and times covered by this class. Choose one of the following pieces of art or architecture: The Cave Paintings at Lascoux , KV62, the Tomb of King Tutankamun , Doryphorus , Emperor Qin's Terracotta Army Sutton Hoo Burial Site Augustus of Prima Porta Temple Statuary from Mesopotamia, The Book of Kells The Blue Mosque The Virgin of the Rocks T okugawa Popular Art Aztec Stone Sculpture Artifacts from the Mississippian Mound culture Rock Hewn Churches of Lalibela You will write a two to three page paper on the art or architecture you chose. Your paper should answer the following: -What civilization does this art represent? -What is the title of the piece? -Who is the artist (if possible)? -Why did you choose this piece? -How was the piece created? What is the medium? -Why was the piece created? -What does this work tell you about the civilization that created it? Purpose of the Assignment: This assignment is designed to give you an interdisciplinary approach to understanding history. People produced much more than written documents throughout history. Humans have long created art, even before they developed into civilizations. Artistic representations reflect the beliefs, customs, norms, mores, and social structures of people, though sometimes it takes time to understand what is being conveyed by a piece of art. By looking closely, we get a visual representation of the people and societies that existed in the past. By studying the visual remnants of the past, it also gives students the opportunity to tap into different learning styles and concepts. What to Include in Your Submission Coversheet and bibliography. Three academic sources not including the textbook and provided website. Citations for all facts and information from your research, not just the direct quotes.

AS DISCUSSED Assignment 2 Question 1: Humans generate and use art to create order, explain, and in some cases control their lives in a chaotic world. In 3 well-developed paragraphs, discuss: What do you think art is? Why do you think it is important to study art as an academic discipline? How is a work of art different from something that is artistic or creative? Be sure to explain your ideas clearly and support them by discussing specific works of art that you have read about this week, talking about how they illustrate and support your ideas. Question 2: While the Italian Renaissance was a rebirth of interest in the classical world, the Northern Renaissance saw other interests take center stage. One interest that both Italian and Northern Renaissance shared was an interest in the natural world, including a concern for creating the illusion of a 3-dimensional world on a 2-dimensional plane. In 3 well-developed paragraphs, discuss: Explain why some artistic elements in works such as the Limbourg Brother’s Très Riches Heures (1411-1416) look realistic to you and which do not look realistic. Discuss whether the figures fit into the space, whether their movements are realistic, whether their clothes fit their bodies properly, and whether there are shadows that make sense. Two of the great innovations of the Renaissance in painting were the artist's ability to depict a more contemporary world, and to create the illusion of a three-dimensional world in a painting. Two important artists played a key role in helping to bring about this shift, Cimabue and Giotto di Bondone (known as Giotto). By studying and comparing 3 of their paintings, you can see how this innovation developed. Cimabue. Virgin and Child Enthroned . 1280. Giotto. Virgin and Child Enthroned . 1310. Giotto. Marriage at Cana, Raising of Lazarus, Lamentation, and Resurrection / Noli Me Tangeri . 1305–06. (Note: scroll down to image 18-8.) Discuss at least 3 specific details or elements that progressively illustrate the artist's concern for depicting a more natural world. at least 3 specific details or elements that progressively illustrate the illusion of a three-dimensional world on the two-dimensional surface of the painting. Be sure to explain your ideas clearly and support them by discussing specific works of art that you have read about this week, talking about how they illustrate and support your ideas. Assignment 3 You likely noticed that during the two hundred years covered in this week’s study there were radical changes in how the human figure is depicted in Italy, from something that was highly stylized to an idealized form that looked more real yet was strongly influenced by the Classical Age of ancient Greece and Rome. In the Northern Europe, however, depiction of the human form remained rooted in the Middle Ages and remained somewhat stylized. Use the textbook and/or online sources to locate and capture three works of art. one from the Early Renaissance (f.

Assignment 3: Artistic Change in Sculpture During Prehistory Relative to human history, the period covered in this week's study is long. During this lengthy span of years, not only did people change in appearance, but the way they lived also changed radically. What we have found of their art and architecture also demonstrates an evolution in these areas. Search for three images of Paleolithic, Neolithic, Bronze Age, or Iron Age prehistoric sculpture using any of the Web sites listed under Prehistoric Art on the Art History Resources Web site . View these sculpture pieces carefully. Choose three images that represent three different periods from the four we have studied this week. Capture the images and place them in chronological order, from oldest to newest, in this template . Then, using information from your textbook, lectures, and other appropriate academic sources, provide the following regarding each image: The title of the work, its location, the materials used to create the work (if known), and the date. A brief assessment of the physical properties you observe. Describe the types of lines, shapes, colors, and textures (actual and perceived) the artist has used. An analysis of the formal structure of each piece. How has the artist arranged and organized the artistic elements to create a cohesive composition? The natural subject of each piece. Based on your textbook reading and Internet research, are there any details that have a symbolic meaning? If so, what? A five- to seven-sentence paragraph that discusses the cultural context of each work, based on what you have learned through your textbook reading, the online lectures, and Internet research. What do the images tell you about the culture and the people who created them? List of references, including the specific websites where you found the images. .

Due by 9 pm! Must include references, no plagiarism. Assignment 2: Changes in Religious Art You likely noticed that during the three hundred years covered in this week’s study that religious art remained quite important just as it had been in earlier “art ages.” There were monumental changes, however, in the way the religious subjects were depicted. Use the textbook and/or online sources to locate and capture three works of religious art. All three pieces should be dealing with the same subject matter— for example, the Crucifixion, mother and child, or the Last Supper. Capture one image from each: the Early Renaissance period the High Renaissance period the Baroque period Your works of art must either be all paintings or all sculptures. (Do not use the three David sculptures from Assignment 1 as your comparisons.) Place these images in a Word document. Then do the following: Identify each image with the following information: Name of the artist Title of the work Date of the work Medium/materials used to create the work Current location In a well-developed paragraph (4–6 sentences) for each: One to two important historical facts about each piece. Describe and analyze how the artist has used at least one of the artistic elements, such as color, composition, or use of light, supporting your observation using vocabulary from this week's reading. You should focus on the same element for all 3 works. In a 6–10-sentence concluding paragraph(s) discuss specifically how religious art has changed compared to each period and geographical region, and what may have been influencing factors behind these changes. How has religious art changed compared to each, based on your observations as to how each artist used the art element you have focused on exploring? What events in history may have been influencing factors behind these changes, and why? Offer a citation of your sources for each image and the information provided as appropriate. .

Week 3 The Visual Arts This week we look at the visual arts and the role of the artist. Sometimes, people look at a painting by Jackson Pollack and say, "My kid could have done that." However, the visual arts are about much more than the actual piece of art itself. Pollack was doing more than just splashing paint on a canvas, much more than a kid could have done. Visual art is not only about what is, so to speak, on the canvas. It can often be about impacting the way we think about the world around us and the world inside of us. After this week, students will be able to: · Describe the possible roles of visual artists within their communities · Identify several significant visual artists, movements and/or styles of visual art · Identify the impact of technological advances on visual art and artists Introduction This week, we will look at the visual arts and the role of the artist. Sometimes, people look at a painting by an artist such as Jackson Pollock and say, "My kid could have done that." However, the visual arts are about much more than the piece of art itself. Pollock was doing more than just splashing paint on a canvas, much more than a kid could have done. Visual art is not only about what is on the canvas. It speaks to the ways in which we think about the world around us and the world inside of us. When you look at this week's materials, think about not only how the works of art appear visually, but what they say about the human condition, as well as how they impacted the communities out of which they emerged. Outcomes After this week, you should be able to · describe the possible roles of visual artists within their communities · identify several significant visual artists, movements, and styles of visual art · identify the impact of technological advances on visual art and artists Cultural Diversity Paper Instructions For this essay, pick a significant of piece of art, literature, or music that represents a particular ethnic or racial group in America. Alternately, you could pick a specific philosopher, religious leader or theologian, political leader or writer who represents an ethnic or racial group in America. Write a 500-800 word essay in which you 1. Offer a brief description of the work or the person's point of view. 2. Argue for the importance and relevance of the work or person's point of view in communicating the experience of a particular ethnic or racial group within the American context. For instance, you could discuss how Elijah Muhammad’s view on race relations expressed the early 19th century post-slavery African American experience, or discuss how an Amy Tan novel represents the female Chinese American experience, or how a sculpture by Hank Willis Thomas communicates something about the history of the African American experience, or how a Sherman Alexie poem communicates the Native American experience.

THIS MUST BE TURNED IN AS ONE SHEET! All of the works asked about below (including the Pagoda building type and its evolution) are pictured in the textbook. Use those images to help you be accurate and specific in your comparisons and expalnations. 1.a) Discuss the Nanchan Temple as a typical example of ancient Chinese architecture. What are the key characteristics of structure, material and form, how do they relate directly to the natural environment of ancient China? How do these traits in turn relate to the key cultural beliefs and ways of thinking in ancient Chinese society? In other words, how is it typical of the main form of ancient Chinese architecture we studied, and how can you use it as an example of some of the “big ideas” (for China) discussed in class? Consider Confucianism and Daoism as two different strands of Chinese thinking, and discuss how the Temple reflects both in specific ways. (Talk about specific features of the building that are typical of classic Chinese architecture.) b) Now consider the Ise Shrine in the same way? What is Japanese about it, and how does it exemplify the main ideas we discussed? How would you distinguish it from the Nanchan Temple? What’s different, but also what is similar, and why? Remember to consider the site (designed landscape) immediately around the central shrine buildings (as compared with the Nanchan Temple setting) as it has important implications for answering the question. Remember to discuss Shinto as a characteristically Japanese way of spirituality, as it is expressed at the Shrine. 2.a) Consider the “Moon Cakes” (Rainbow-Bridge-to-the-Moon) story. What is the type of building that is noted early in the story and is important to it’s imagery and themes. What is the significance of this particular building to the story in terms of what the story is about and what it presents as key themes? What is the origin, very simply, of this building type as we discussed it in class, and why is it so significant as an expression of certain ancient Chinese ideas? What aspects of, or elements in the story reinforce the deeper ideas or themes you relate to this history? What specific features or aspects of the building type help to express its meaning? b) Now look at the Chinese Silk Banner in the textbook, consider it as discussed in class – and in light of the Moon Cakes story asked about above. How does is the banner typically ancient Chinese in terms of symbols, and key ideas or attitudes? What main ideas or attitudes does silk as used in ancient Chinese design seem to most directly relate to, and how? Your answer to 2b should have some connection to your answer to 2a. 3.

Field and Archival Research Paper AHI 163B Chinese Painting History (History of the Pictorial Traditions of China) Spring 2019 Professor Katharine Burnett (4373 words) This assignment teaches you how art historians conduct basic fieldwork in museums and archival research in libraries. The situation: As a young scholar interested in China’s pictorial traditions, you have been invited to submit a short article to the Art Bulletin1 for publication consideration in a volume of essays produced by college students about a pictorial work of Chinese art (that is, one that is a painting, or has a significant pictorial aspect, such as an incised stone tablet with a scene containing figures or landscapes). You will select a topic, develop a motivating question about it, conduct research to find the answers for your question, and then write up your findings in a well organized and thoughtfully argued paper. Topic choices 1. Study an image that was not discussed in class. Discuss it in terms of one of the thematic categories discussed in class: art in the tomb, art at court, art in the temple, art in the life of the elite, and art in the market-place. Compare it to an object studied in class that you believe is its closest type AND ALSO contrast it against an object discussed in class that you consider to be its opposite. 2. Study an object on display in the Chinese painting galleries at the Asian Art Museum. Discuss it in terms of one of the thematic categories discussed in class: art in the tomb, art at court, art in the temple, art in the life of the elite, and art in the market- place. Compare it to an object studied in class that you believe is its closest type AND ALSO contrast it against an object discussed in class that you consider to be its opposite. 1 The Art Bulletin is a journal of scholarly art history articles published by the College Art Association (CAA), the premier national organization for artists and art historians in the US. AHI 163B Research Paper Assignment 2 3. Study a painting that interests you that is reproduced in a peer reviewed book or article (such as those listed at the end of the Syllabus). Discuss it in terms of one of the thematic categories discussed in class: art in the tomb, art at court, art in the temple, art in the life of the elite, and art in the market-place. Compare it to an object studied in class that you believe is its closest type AND ALSO contrast it against an object discussed in class that you consider to be its opposite 4. Study a theme, such as plum blossoms or drought stories, etc., to see how the topic has been handled in different times by different artists. A question you might ask of these images is: Does the meaning of the artwork change over time? Does it always fit into one (and only one) of the categories studied in class: art in the tomb, art at court, art in the temp ...

1. This week, we’ve been introduced to the humanities and have taken some time to consider the role of the humanities in establishing socio-cultural values, including how the humanities differ from the sciences in terms of offering unique lenses on the world and our reality. Since one of the greatest rewards of being a human is engaging with different forms of art, we’ve taken some time this week to learn about what it means to identify and respond to a work of art. We’ve learned about the difference between abstract ideas and concrete images and concepts like structure and artistic form. To help you deepen your understanding of these foundational ideas, your Unit 1 assignment will consist of writing an essay addressing using the following criteria: Essay Requirements: • 1,000 words or roughly four double-spaced pages. • Make use of at least three scholarly sources to support and develop your ideas. Our course text may serve as one of these three sources. • Your essay should demonstrate a thorough understanding of the READ and ATTEND sections. • Be sure to cite your sources using proper APA format (7th edition). Essay Prompt: • In this essay, you will consider the meaning of art and artistic form by responding to these questions: o To what extent does Kevin Carter’s Pulitzer Prize-winning photograph (figure 2-5) have artistic form? o Using what you’ve learned in Chapters 1, 2 and 14 explain if you consider Carter’s photograph a work of art? Be sure to point to specific qualities of the photograph to support/develop your response. o How do you measure the intensity of your experience in response to Carter’s photograph? What does it make you see/feel/imagine and how does your response/reaction support Carter’s image as a work of art? .

Learning Objectives Read and research problems created by technology in society and some ways to modify or prevent these problems. Discuss these in the paper. Demonstrate an in-depth understanding of the topic by comparing/contrasting data. Gather information by: reading the course textbooks, reading documentation materials contacting “experts” on the topic researching library materials using the Internet All of the above information gathering sources will be documented in the research paper following MLA or APA format (not a combination of both). The content of the research paper is fairly open. See the description above. III. Criteria for the Paper Note a few of the common reasons why the Individual research term paper would not meet the minimum standards: Too easy. As stated above, the work must be “sufficiently complex to require the expertise of junior-senior level students.” Too little time spent in research and writing. Overlap of another course. If the content of the research paper involves concepts covered in another course(s), then it must be of a different or more complex nature. It includes the understanding that the stu.

Unit 5 [AC499: Bachelor’s Capstone in Accounting] Unit 5 Assignment: GAAP Applications – Internal Control Recall that in Units 2 and 3, you completed the accounting cycle for Dustin Larkin of Quixote Consulting. Quixote Consulting is a part-time consulting business that recently moved from Dustin’s home into rented quarters. Assume that you are the internal auditor for the business and you have to evaluate the internal control procedures that have been implemented in the business. There are three objectives of internal control: (1) Assets are safeguarded and used for business purposes, (2) Business information is accurate, and (3) Employees comply with laws and regulations. The five elements of internal control are: (1) The control environment, (2) Risk assessment, (3) Control procedures, (4) Monitoring, and (5) Information and communication. If you owned a business, you would expect your employees to: 1) Work to achieve the business goals and objectives you establish. 2) Use business assets (such as machinery or automobiles) only for legitimate business purposes and avoid wasting business resources. 3) Record accurate data regarding business transactions so you could accurately judge how well your business is doing. 4) Refrain from stealing your cash, supplies, inventory, or property, plant, and equipment. Unit 5 [AC499: Bachelor’s Capstone in Accounting] In theory, you should be able to expect these things. In practice, however, you must establish an internal control framework to make sure your business objectives are achieved, assets are protected from theft and misuse, and financial data are recorded accurately. The following eight procedures (A–H) were recently installed by Quixote Consulting: A. The bank reconciliation is prepared by the cashier, who works under the supervision of the treasurer. B. All mail is opened by the mail clerk, who forwards all cash remittances to the cashier. The cashier prepares a listing of the cash receipts and forwards a copy of the list to the accounts receivable clerk for recording in the accounts. C. At the end of the day, cash register clerks are required to use their own funds to make up any cash shortages in their registers. D. At the end of each day, all cash receipts are placed in the bank's night depository. E. At the end of each day, an accounting clerk compares the duplicate copy of the daily cash deposit slip with the deposit receipt obtained from the bank. F. The accounts payable clerk prepares a voucher for each disbursement. The voucher along with the supporting documentation is forwarded to the treasurer's office for approval. G. After necessary approvals have been obtained for the payment of a voucher, treasurer signs and mails the check. The treasurer then stamps the voucher and supporting documentation as paid and returns the voucher and supporting documentation t.

Unit 2 Due Jan 18 2015 This assignment has 2 parts. Part 1 When you look at ancient art, particularly ancient sculpture, you see progression in how the body in motion is represented. For this assignment, find 3 different sculptures, all from the ancient period (created between 30,000 BCE and 500 CE), which show progression of how the body is depicted in motion. For example, your first sculpture may be largely stationary, the second shows some motion, while the third shows an active body. You may choose examples of sculpture from any of the following museums: • A New York art museum • A Paris museum • Select galleries in a Washington, DC museum • A Boston Museum Paste images of all 3 sculptures into a Word document, and include details about each work: the title of each sculpture, the artist (if known), the year made, the materials used, and the size of the work. Be sure to include a reference for each work, showing which museum it was found in. Present 2 or 3 paragraphs for each work that clearly describe what the viewer sees and the content of each work. Finally, choose 3 adjectives (for each work) that express the core ideas of what the works were intended to communicate or convey to the viewer. Part 2 Create a simple drawing of each sculpture. Draw a line down each work to indicate the center of balance. Use arrows or lines with arrows to indicate the direction of motion and movement within the sculpture. Scan or photograph your drawings and paste them into the Word document from Part 1. You can insert images into documents by placing the cursor where you want the image to be, going to “Insert,” then choosing “Picture,” and selecting the picture from your computer. Be sure to scan or photograph your drawing first and upload it to your computer. Part 3 For each sculpture that you have chosen, choose a photograph, cartoon, movie poster, or any other image which uses the same stance, or bears remarkable similarity to the sculpture you chose in Part 1. Present at least 1 of these modern-day equivalents, with appropriate comments discussing any relevant details. Submit 1 Word document for this assignment. You are required to comply with APA style format for quotations, internal citations, and a reference list.

Unit 3: Point of View Essay (2) - Assignment The second portion of this assignment is the rhetorical analysis, which should be at least 400-500 words in length. In the rhetorical analysis, you will explain how you used the five features to make the same exact place seem so very positive in one paragraph and yet so negative in the second paragraph. The second portion of this assignment is a two step process. 1.) Review your two paragraphs noting each of the places you used any of the tools in the Writer's Toolbox. Try to find at least two examples of each of the tools from the Writer's Toolbox employed in each descriptions (except for tell sentences and direct statements of meaning, which you should have limited to only one per paragraph). If you can’t find two examples of the other features in each of your descriptions, you’ll probably want to revise your initial description, adding more of those features. 2.) Write your rhetorical analysis, devoting at least one paragraph to each of the tools in the Writer's Toolbox. You will probably want to begin each paragraph of the rhetorical analysis with a general claim. “I used a great deal of word choice in each of my two descriptions.” Then you’ll want to follow that claim with examples. “For instance, in my positive paragraph, I described the sun as “gleaming,” which implies that the light was pleasantly bright. However, in my negative paragraph, I described the sun as “glaring,” implying that the light was too bright, and in fact painful to look at.” Here’s a student example of the second portion of this assignment. (This is the same student who focused on Pillsbury Crossing in his positive and negative descriptions.) Rhetorical Analysis I chose Pillsbury Crossing for my descriptions in this paper. I enjoyed writing about Pillsbury Crossing because it seemed to offer many positive and negatives, and I had never been there before. This allowed me to record my own first impressions, both pleasant and unpleasant. The floodplain is very peaceful, yet it is scarred by humankind’s misuse of the nature park. I wrote my first sentence as an overt statement which explained the mood of the rest of the paragraph. For my pleasant impression, I stated “Nature’s beauty surrounds me,” emphasizing the beauty on can find in a place such as this. In contrast, for my negative impression, I wrote “Death has had her way here.” The notion of death immediately makes the tone grim and unpleasant, even though death is also a fundamental aspect of the natural world. With my tone clearly established, I next had to consider my word choice very carefully. In order to show the reader what I experienced, I had to choose words that fit the mood of the description as set by my overt statements of meaning. In my pleasant description, I discuss the sun’s rays and how they are “crisp” and “relieving.” These words make the sun’s rays seem pleasant and positive; however, in the negative description, th.

Background information is presented, main characters are introduced, and the conflict is established. Rising Action: The conflicts and challenges encountered by the characters.

Falling Action: The events that occur after the main character makes the key decision in the story. Resolution: The resolution is where all the questions are answered and loose ends are tied, providing a clear ending. A plot diagram illustrates where these elements fall in a narrative. .
