Writing about Art
Art is a provocative medium, and your challenge in writing about art may often be
to define and evaluate the artist’s choices and techniques, which, according to your
intellect and perception, arouse interest and convey meaning. In most cases, then, you
will be translating the visual (what you see, or observe) into language (what you write).
In order to do this, you will have to be extremely attentive to the characteristics of the work—your observations.
This means that your description will incorporate a large portion of your essay. Remember
to be attentive to the vocabulary of the discipline of Art. I f you do not know what a word means, better not to use it.
You must also be able to develop a thesis statement with a detailed analysis and argument about the artwork you have chosen.
Therefore, you must consider what it is you want to say, and use description to make that
point. In many ways, writing an Art History essay is similar to writing other types of
essays in the Humanities. It requires a clear and focused topic, an arguable thesis, an
organized format and structure, clear and coherent paragraphs, and a command of
grammar and style.
Comparison and Contrast
In many beginning Art History courses, and in more advanced ones as well, you
will be asked to write a paper in which you make a comparison and contrast between two
works of art. This type of essay usually requires a substantial comparative judgment of the two works, which will function as your thesis statement.
One option for a thesis statement for this kind of comparative essay could be based on how you see the two works in relation to each other and to some aspect of the human condition, or culture, or history. It could be, for example, that both artists painted peasants working in a field, but one painting suggests the oneness of humans and nature, perhaps because the figures appear to be an integral part of the field in which they are working, while the other painting emphasizes the separation between humans and nature. The evidence you provide for your thesis will include your interpretation, analysis, and description of the characteristics of both works, and must at all times relate to your thesis. For example, if you are discussing horizontality or verticality, you need to first accurately and clearly describe these elements in both works and then evaluate how these visual orientations demonstrate the validity of your thesis concerning humans as a part of nature or separate from it.
Unless the assignment specifies a work-by-work approach, it is usually best that
you do not divide the paper into two discrete sections: a discussion of one work of art
followed by a discussion of the other. Instead, each paragraph can include discussion of
both works in relation to a particular element or a well thought-out combination of
elements, such as color and texture. The point of comparison or contrast that each paragraph makes must, remember, .

WRITING ABOUT ART
Art is a provocative medium, and your challenge in writing about art may often be to define and
evaluate the artist’s choices and techniques, which, according to your intellect and perception, arouse interest
and convey meaning. In most cases you will be translating the visual (what you see) into language (what you

means that description will incorporate a portion of your essay—and be attentive to the vocabulary of the
discipline of Art.
You must also be able to develop a thesis statement with a detailed analysis and argument about the
artwork you have chosen. Therefore, you must consider what it is you want to say, and use description to
make that point. In many ways, writing an Art History essay is similar to writing other types of essays in the
Humanities. It requires a clear and focused topic, an arguable thesis, an organized format and structure, clear
and coherent paragraphs, and a command of grammar and style.
Thesis Statement
Most academic essays seek to persuade readers to understand a specific issue in a specific way—the
writer’s way. The writer’s thesis statement offers this substantial but concise assertion of her/his
understanding (usually in one to two sentences in the introduction or near the beginning of the essay), thereby
providing an essay with its judgmental focus.
Perhaps, though, in writing about art you might want to offer a well thought-out central idea rather
than an overtly argumentative statement. For example, “African art was a major influence on the work of
Pablo Picasso” states a well-documented and widely shared opinion that is interesting but uncontroversial.
Of course, a paper on this topic would have to fully elaborate on that relationship and offer examples of it.
The difference between an idea and a thesis statement is in their degree of contention. The above
example of a central idea could be debatable, but mainly the disagreement would arise if the writer does not
adequately explain and illustrate the idea through detailed description, intelligent criticism, and analysis,
and not because of the idea itself.
However, in a thesis statement—such as, “Picasso’s treatment of women in his art mirrors the
distorted vision he had of women in general”—it is more obvious that readers will either strongly disagree or
agree, by the very nature of the claim itself. Moreover, even if the writer advances a stimulating argument
with impressive evidence in defense of the thesis, because the claim is so contentious, a reader may still
disagree.
Using Sources
A good research paper often includes evidence from both primary and secondary sources. Whether you are
using primary or secondary sources, remember to explain and analyze the passages that you have chosen from
the texts (or elements you have chosen from the works), and what th.

Guide to Writing a Formal Analysis
Description: A formal analysis includes an analysis of the forms appearing in the work you have chosen. These forms give the work its expression, message, or meaning. A formal analysis assumes a work of art is (1) a constructed object (2) that has been created with a stable meaning (even though it might not be clear to the viewer) (3) that can be ascertained by studying the relationships between the elements of the work. To aid in writing a formal analysis, you should think as if you were describing the work of art to someone who has never seen it before. When your reader finishes reading your analysis, she/he should have a complete mental picture of what the work looks like. Yet, the formal analysis is more than just a description of the work. It should also include a thesis statement/theme that reflects your conclusions about the work. The thesis statement may, in general, answer a question like these: What do I think is the meaning of this work? What is the message that this work or artist sends to the viewer? What is this work all about? The thesis statement is an important element. It sets the tone for the entire paper, and sets it apart from being a merely descriptive paper.
Format for the Paper: Two pages, double-spaced, 10 or 12 pt font, 1” borders. Make sure you proofread your papers for adhering to the information listed above, as well as incorrect grammar, spelling, punctuation, and other errors.
In the first paragraph, called the introduction, you will include:
•the name of the artist (if known), title (which is underlined or italicizedevery time you use the title in your paper), date
•what you think is the subject
•a very brief description of the work
•thesis statement - usually the last line or so of your first paragraph.
From that point, the rest of the formal analysis should include not only a description of the piece, but especially those details of the work that have led you to come to your conclusion. Yet, your paper should not be a random flow of ideas about the work (i.e. stream of consciousness writing). Rather, your paper should have a sense of order, moving purposefully through your description with regard to specific elements (ex: one paragraph may deal with composition, another with a description of the figures, another with the background, another about line, etc.). Finally, in your conclusion (the final paragraph) you should end your paper by pulling your threads together in a conclusion that in some way bears a relationship with your stated theme.
NO RESEARCH IS TO BE USED IN THIS PAPER. In other words, you are strictly relying on your ability to visually ‘read’ a work of art and make interpretations about it based on your analysis of it. Remember too that your analysis should not be just a mechanical, physical description. Please use descriptive language and adjectives to describe your work. Begin with a general description of the work, and then move on to ...

AHS 008: Assignment #2
Handout: Using Quotes Effectively
For this assignment, you may cite course texts informally, using parenthetical
citation (as in the examples below). However, if you choose to bring in any
outside texts or materials, you should provide full citation information,
including a Works Cited page. In general, you may use the citation format of
your choice (MLA-style, Chicago style, etc.), but you must use it correctly and
consistently.
Regular quotes (whether complete sentences or snippets of text) should always
appear in quotation marks – except for long citations (four lines or more),
which should presented as block quotes, indented and single-spaced, but without
quotation marks.
What is most important is to integrate quotes and other authors’ ideas into your
text in a clear and thoughtful way. Rather than simply dropping in a quote, it
is much better to set it up, in order to indicate whose quote it is, to
introduce necessary information and context, and to situate it in your analysis.
Do not assume that a quote can simply “speak for itself.” After a quote, it is
useful to parse out the key terms and assumptions – and, if you choose to, to
question them.
When you set up a quote, try to avoid using “says” (e.g. “Sontag says that …”).
It is too informal, and also incorrect, as we are generally referring to written
sources. Find good specific verbs to use instead: argues, proposes, concludes,
describes, outlines, suggests, etc.
Incorporating Quotes into your revised essay will take some work. You have to
decide what is most important to you in the readings, and what points or
arguments most resonate with you. And of course, you may agree or disagree with
the quotes or points that you choose. To integrate them will probably require
not simply extending but also rearranging your essay somewhat, and perhaps
rethinking or revising your own argument or analysis.
EXAMPLE 1:
Diane Arbus described the camera as “a kind of license” that allowed her to
transgress social boundaries and have access to people’s intimate lives. As she
notes, “A lot of people, they want to be paid that much attention and it’s a
reasonable kind of attention to be paid” (Arbus, p. 3). Thus, in a portrait like
Young man with curlers at home on West 20th Street, NY (1966), the young man’s
candid gaze and gestures convey his own investment in the attention and interest
Arbus brought to their encounter. If going to shoot new subjects was, as Arbus
suggested, like “a blind date,” we feel that it involved risk and excitement for
both her and her sitter.
EXAMPLE 2:
In the statement published in the catalogue to her posthumous 1972 exhibition,
Diane Arbus famously outlined what she termed “the flaw”: “Everybody has that
thing where they need to look one way but they come out looking another way and
that’s what people observe. You see someone on the street and essentially what

Select a museumI have already went to the Museum the work selecte.docxzenobiakeeney
Select a museum:
I have already went to the Museum the work selected is The cradle by John Biggers please see photos attached.
Select a work of art:
This is a general suggestion and not a required outline.
Identification:
At the museum or museum site, select a work of art. You may select a piece that you like or dislike. Copy down all the information provided; Artist, title, medium, year, etc. Write down your initial responses. How do you respond to the work? Does it invoke an emotional response? What do you think the artist was trying to communicate? It is helpful to bring a notebook to record your responses.
Describe
the piece and review it carefully. What do you see? Note all the details about the work. How would you describe it to someone you were talking to on the phone who can’t see it?
Analyze
the visual elements and design principles as you did in the short paper. Think about the relationship between form, content and subject matter in your analysis. This will be helpful in your 'interpretation' of the work. Use the terminology you have learned in class, particularly terms in Chapters 2 -5. Your analysis should be based your own observations while viewing the work.
Interpretation
Follow your analysis with a subjective interpretation of the meaning of the work. How does the work make you feel? What do you think the content is? Go beyond “I like it” or “I don’t like it.”
Research
the artist. Historical and biographical information on the artist often provides clues into a works intended meaning. Carefully consider the purpose and context of the piece. Did the piece you selected have any particular political or cultural message? Was the artist making a statement?
Value Judgement
What do you think the artist's intentions were? Was this communicated? Does it have value? Can you recognize the aesthetic quality in the work?
Write the Final Paper:
The following will help you write your paper. It should be used as a guideline, not an outline for approaching your paper. This is very similar to the process used by art critics.
Identification:
Note the title of the work, the date, the artist (if known), medium, and size.
Description:
What do you see? As fully as possible, describe what you see.
What medium is used? What is it made of?
How big is it?
Go into detail about what you see. How would you describe it, in detail, to someone who had never seen it?
What subjects are represented?
It can be helpful to begin looking at a work of art from the middle and work your way out.
Analysis:
Describe the form of the work Explain how visual elements and principles of design are used in the work. The terms in chapters 2, 3 & 4 will be very helpful. Go back and look at the chapter outlines or Short Paper assignment. Use them to:
Describe the use of visual elements such as line, shape, color & space used in the pieces. For example: In what way is it balanced? Is it asymmetrical or symmetrical? What is emphasized? What seems to be the dominating vi.

Select a museum:
I have already went to the Museum the work selected is The cradle by John Biggers please see photos attached.
Select a work of art:
This is a general suggestion and not a required outline.
Identification:
At the museum or museum site, select a work of art. You may select a piece that you like or dislike. Copy down all the information provided; Artist, title, medium, year, etc. Write down your initial responses. How do you respond to the work? Does it invoke an emotional response? What do you think the artist was trying to communicate? It is helpful to bring a notebook to record your responses.
Describe
the piece and review it carefully. What do you see? Note all the details about the work. How would you describe it to someone you were talking to on the phone who can’t see it?
Analyze
the visual elements and design principles as you did in the short paper. Think about the relationship between form, content and subject matter in your analysis. This will be helpful in your 'interpretation' of the work. Use the terminology you have learned in class, particularly terms in Chapters 2 -5. Your analysis should be based your own observations while viewing the work.
Interpretation
Follow your analysis with a subjective interpretation of the meaning of the work. How does the work make you feel? What do you think the content is? Go beyond “I like it” or “I don’t like it.”
Research
the artist. Historical and biographical information on the artist often provides clues into a works intended meaning. Carefully consider the purpose and context of the piece. Did the piece you selected have any particular political or cultural message? Was the artist making a statement?
Value Judgement
What do you think the artist's intentions were? Was this communicated? Does it have value? Can you recognize the aesthetic quality in the work?
Write the Final Paper:
The following will help you write your paper. It should be used as a guideline, not an outline for approaching your paper. This is very similar to the process used by art critics.
Identification:
Note the title of the work, the date, the artist (if known), medium, and size.
Description:
What do you see? As fully as possible, describe what you see.
What medium is used? What is it made of?
How big is it?
Go into detail about what you see. How would you describe it, in detail, to someone who had never seen it?
What subjects are represented?

Art Criticism Take a field trip to a museum, gallery.docxdavezstarr61655
Art Criticism
Take a field trip to a museum, gallery, etc. to view works of art in order to find something you would
be interested in writing about in the mode of art criticism, including how the artwork relates to a
topic or theory we have covered in class, and using at least two sources (at least one of which should
be a scholarly article NOT from our course). 6 pages minimum.
Describe: Tell what you see (the visual facts).
Questions to consider:
1. Where did you see the art? (Name gallery/museum/etc., geographical location, etc.)
2. What is the name of the artist who created the artwork?
3. What kind of an artwork is it?
4. What is the name of the artwork?
5. When was the artwork created?
6. Name some other major events in history that occurred at the same time this artwork was
created.
7. List the literal objects in the painting (trees, people, animals, mountains, rivers, etc.).
8. What do you notice first when you look at the work(s)? Why?
9. What kinds of colors do you see? How would you describe them?
10. What shapes can we see? What kind of edges do the shapes have?
11. Are there lines in the work(s)? If so, what kinds of lines are they?
12. What sort of textures do you see? How would you describe them?
13. What time of day/night is it? How can we tell?
13. What is the overall visual effect or mood of the work(s)?
Analyze: Mentally separate the parts or elements, thinking in terms of textures, shapes/forms,
light/dark or bright/dull colors, types of lines, and sensory qualities. In this step consider the
most significant art principles that were used in the artwork. Describe how the artist used them
to organize the elements. Suggested questions to help with analysis:
Questions to consider:
1. How has the artist used colors in the work(s)?
2. What sort of effect do the colors have on the artwork?
3. How as the artist used shapes within the work of art?
4. How have lines been used in the work(s)? Has the artist used them as an important or
dominant part of the work, or do they play a different roll?
5. What role does texture play in the work(s)? Has the artist used the illusion of texture or has
the artist used actual texture? How has texture been used within the work(s).
6. How has the artist used light in the work(s)? Is there the illusion of a scene with lights and
shadows, or does the artist use light and dark values in a more abstracted way?
7. How has the overall visual effect or mood of the work(s)? been achieved by the use of
elements of art and principles of design.
8. How were the artists design tools used to achieve a particular look or focus?
Interpret: An interpretation seeks to explain the meaning of the work based on what you have
learned so far about the artwork, what do you think the artist was trying to say?
Questions to consider:
1. What was the artist’s statement.
STEP 1: VISIT >
https://artsandculture.google.com/partner?hl=en
.
Browse through the partner museums and select one that has a "Museum View" or "Street View"
(typically if you scroll to the bottom, it will appear above the map).
It is important to make sure your selected museum has a
"Museum View"
or
"Street View"
of inside the galleries of the museum - not all do. Please confirm this before moving to step two. For example, the National Museum of Art in Washington DC doesn’t have a Museum View so you can’t pick it but MoMA or the Tokyo Fuji Art Museum does!
Please also make sure to pick an art museum, as you’ll need to write about a work of art. So, sadly, no history museums like the Anne Frank House, NASA, or Smithsonian National History Museum.
STEP 2: Select a work of art from your museum within the Museum/Street View or collections page.
You’ll want to pick a work here so that you can analyze where it’s located, what’s next to it and what kind of frame it has. It will look like this or if you found it by looking through that museum’s collection, it will look like the second image.
STEP 3: When you’ve found your artwork, click on the entry to learn more about your individual artwork. Spend some time clicking around the room it's in, seeing what’s next to it and what the architecture of the space is like.
STEP 4: Time to answer some questions!
QUESTIONS TO ANSWER IN YOUR REPORT
Font & Spacing
: 12pt, Times or Arial; Single or double-spaced is fine.
Length
: 1000 words (ok to go over).
Style
: Write in complete sentences and with college-level spelling and grammar. Answer each question in the next section with about 150-200 words of text in a paragraph (not bullet points).
Underlining
: Please underline any art or art history specific vocabulary.
Format
: You can format your paper either with headings for each question OR as an essay with paragraphs for each question.
Sources
: you need at least two sources (cannot include Wikipedia) and to include Works Cited that is correctly formatted in MLA style.
You should also use in-text citations when referring to information that is taken from your sources. This lets the reader know what are your ideas and words vs. those that are from someone else.
You’ll include citations if you paraphrase, directly quote, or refer to information and concepts that come from other people.
Remember that what you list in your Works Cited page are sources that you actually cite in your report. This is not a bibliography so it's not sources that you used for research.
The artwork alone and by itself is not considered a source. If there was an essay that accompanied it, then yes, you can list that as one of your sources.

“Knowledgeable interaction with works of art makes life better: We see more of what can be seen, and we hear more of what can be heard. Our entire existence grows richer and deeper.” (Sporre, 2009, p. 2).
From your studies, you have seen how culture, societal norms, belief systems, and past experiences affect the way people view the world. Learning about these differences in perspective helps us to have a better understanding of the overall human experience. Whether analytical skills are applied to a task at work, or a humanistic point of view enables us to grasp an issue from another angle, these methods of looking at the world help us become more aware of our perceptions and provide a deeper and more meaningful existence.
In this task, you will analyze and interpret three creative works from three separate disciplines of the humanities using methods of subjective and objective analysis. Objective statements are based on simple observations and concrete information. Subjective statements are based on personal opinions, judgments, and feelings. These standard methods of analysis will enable you to critically view and interpret works from the humanities. You will use analytical and critical thinking skills to assess how meaning is constructed and imparted to a viewer or audience and will communicate your thoughts in a multimedia presentation (e.g., PowerPoint, Keynote). While the content of your presentation will focus on analyzing, interpreting, comparing, and contrasting three creative works from separate disciplines, your overarching goal will be to explain how the three works you analyze demonstrate the value of the humanities in meaningful ways.
Background:
Develop a multimedia presentation in which you analyze three creative works from three separate disciplines in the humanities. You will need to select works that share a common theme. This theme must relate to a profession within your field of study at WGU. You will share with your audience how being knowledgeable about the humanities and your selected theme is valuable in regards to this profession.
First you must choose one literary work from the given list below. Choose a literary work that has a theme that resonates with you and consider how this theme connects with your chosen profession. Every profession within your field of study at WGU (Business, IT, Nursing or Teaching) will have humanistic considerations. For example, a civil rights lawyer may be concerned with the theme of freedom, a firefighter with determination, a social worker with compassion, or an engineer with integrity. It is the intent of this task to explore the major themes of the humanities and their relevance to our professional lives.
Once you have selected a literary work, you will need to select two non-literary works from separate disciplines that share the same theme as the literary work you have selected. Your presentation will show how all.

Art 110 Art Appreciation - Formal Analysis Paper Assignment
-Remember - Late papers and emailed papers will NOT be accepted.
Description: A formal analysis includes an analysis of the forms appearing in the work you have chosen. These forms give the work its expression, message, or meaning. A formal analysis assumes a work of art is,
(1) a constructed object
(2) that has been created with a stable meaning (even though it might not be clear to the viewer)
(3) that can be ascertained by studying the relationships between the elements of the work.
You must include an image of yourself at the museum at the end of the paper. To aid in writing a formal analysis, you should think as if you were describing the work of art to someone who has never seen it before. When your reader finishes reading your analysis, she/he should have a complete mental picture of what the work looks like. Yet, the formal analysis is more than just a description of the work. It should also include a thesis statement that reflects your conclusions about the work. The thesis statement may, in general, answer a question like these: What do I think is the meaning of this work? What is the message that this work or artist sends to the viewer? What is this work all about? The thesis statement is an important element. It sets the tone for the entire paper, and sets it apart from being a merely descriptive paper.
Format for the Paper: Two and a half to three pages (not including title page, if you use one), , double spaced, 10 or 12 pt type (Times only), 1” borders. Make sure you proofread your papers for adhering to the information listed above, as well as incorrect grammar, spelling, punctuation, and other errors. In addition, make sure your paper includes a thesis statement. Your grade will reflect your ability to follow these guidelines.
In the first paragraph, called the introduction, you will include:
•the name of the artist (if known), title (which is underlined or italicizedevery time you use the title in your paper), date, and medium (if known).
•what you think is the subject
•a description of the work (using the elements of art and principles of design)
•thesis statement - usually the last line or so of your first paragraph.
From that point, the rest of the formal analysis should include not only a description of the piece, but especially those details of the work that have led you to come to your thesis. Yet, your paper should not be a random flow of ideas about the work (i.e. stream of consciousness writing). Rather, your paper should have a sense of order, moving purposefully through your description with regard to specific elements (ex: one paragraph may deal with composition, another with a description of the figures, another with the background, another about line, etc.). Finally, in your conclusion (the final paragraph) you should end your paper with a restatement of your thesis.
It is important to remember that your interest here is strictly ...

Your assignment is to write a formal response to this work. By caref.docxwoodruffeloisa
Your assignment is to write a formal response to this work. By carefully describing subject matter, medium, form, and context, you should be able to arrive at a thoughtful well -defended interpretation of the piece. (1) Describe it . Thoroughly. If it is representational, what is the subject matter depicted? If it is non -representational, say so. What does it look like? What is the medium? Have we studied/do you know anything about the process that resulted in the work? What size is it? Is it a 2 -dimensional or 3 -dimensional piece? Which formal elements stand out to you? What are the colors being used? Be as descriptive as possible. (2) Contextualize it . What is the title? What is the name of the artist who created it? Do you know anything about the artist? Is there a statement giving you more information? In which year was it made? Where is it being displayed as you are looking at it? How is it being displayed? Are there other works by the same artist there to give you more context? Can you compare and contrast it to other works you’ve seen elsewhere or studied ? (3) Interpret it. Based on your description, what do you think the artist was trying to say? It may be difficult to separate this interpretation from the descriptive process and it is okay if the two aspects are interwoven. (4) Respond to it. Though I am not interested in merely hearing whether or not you like the piece, I also want you to meaningful respond to the work. As art -critic Peter Scheldahl proposes, a question more valuable to ask yourself can be, “If I were someone who did like this piece, why would I like it?” Who is its intended audience and are you among that audience? Why did you choose this particular piece? What does it make you think about? Why do you think that the artist made the choices that she or he did? Do you agree with all of those choices? Is the artist’s intention clear/well -executed? How do you feel about the way in which the work is being displayed? Would it be more suitably exhibited somewhere else or alongside different work? This part of the paper may contain judgments, but at this point they will be well founded. Never make a proclamation without continuing the sentence with the because… Your response should be a minimum of one and a half double -spaced pages, 12 point font. If you are thorough in your description, you should find that you easily exceed this length.

ReadingCarefully read Chapter 1, paying close attention to the .docxsodhi3
Reading:
Carefully read Chapter 1, paying close attention to the works of art used as examples of the concepts covered in the chapter.
Assignment Instructions:
Choose two of the following concepts covered in this chapter to use as your titles for each of the two analyses required for this chapter. Each analysis must address a specific, different concept and students must demonstrate understanding of how their selected works of art clearly illustrate the chosen specific concepts, repeated before each of the analysis required:
• Art gives us pictures of deities or helps us conceive of what divinity might be.
• Art embodies the customs, beliefs, and values of the culture that uses it.
• Art entertains, communicates emotions and aesthetics of an individual artist.
• Visual form, sculpture and three-dimensional pieces, are created from costly materials in order render large scale, strong, lasting historical symbols, sometimes lasting for thousands of years.
• Art is an expression of our human response to the world and while some is realistic or made "from life, other works come from memory or reflections on life, like poems.
Using your own words, explain how your selected artwork embodies the concept you selected, and repeated as your title for each analysis. Describe specific details, both obvious and subtle, from within the artwork image to support your comments.
Explain how at least one of the Art Elements and/or Design Principles (explained Chapter 2) were used by the artist/s to help convey meaning to viewers. For example, how would a black and white photograph impact the ways in which viewers understand the artist's intentions? Why would one use black and white in any work of art, as opposed to full color?
Important Notice: You must explain how at least one of the art terms, which you explained in your Chapter 2 assignment, functions within and is used by the artist/s to help convey meaning the viewer in each future analysis, in order to earn full credit.
Note: Students must underline the specific term/s used in each analysis.
A "Personal Responses" paragraph should follow each analysis, where you express your personal reactions to, perceptions of, and insights into each selected work of art. Answer the questions, for example:
• How does the work make you feel?
• What are you reminded of?
• What do you think were the intentions of the artist/s?
• What value is the work to viewers?
Additional Instructor's Note: What is art? Art is strictly a human phenomenon, and there is no one definition, which can be applied to all time and all people or places. Some animals make tools, but they do not consider the aesthetics of (how to increase the beauty of) their tools. For example, they do not consider carving a beautiful handle or decorating them with jewels. None except human beings make art to better understand their life experience or to communicate some idea about the world to other human beings.

Communication: The Journey of Message
We have all had moments where communication meant the difference between resolving an issue and creating one. Describe an event or incident where being an active listener allowed you to calm a situation. Here are some questions to consider:
· What ways did dialogue contribute to diffusing the situation?
· Did you or the other people involved demonstrate body language cues that signaled the situation was escalating or diminishing?
· How did the situation resolve?
· If you could revisit that situation now, what would you change?
Click here to share your story!
Effective Communication in Art
Click on the picture icon to the right and insert images of art (any visual representation) that communicates new understanding of diversity issues. This can be anything from a multi-racial family to the physically active elderly sky diving or water skiing (defying the stereotypes on aging). Click on the word "Text" and describe the message being communicated and explain why some people might miss or ignore this message. If necessary, reference the image on the References page.
Listening to the Voiceless

Address the following questions:
1. What feelings or emotions did the video draw out in you? What made you connect to the person being interviewed?
2. What stereotypes did you find yourself falling into initially?
3. How might this video or others like it bring an end to othering of the homeless?

Literature and Identity Power
Literature has been used over the centuries in assimilating cultures and establishing cultures, but in more modern times it has become an effective tool to bring 'voice' to the marginalized and underrepresented. One example is Amy Tan, an Asian American writer of the novel, The Joy Luck Club, and many others. Her essays often focus on Identity Power in ways that are inclusive to all groups which is one reason her work has been so effective. Click on this link and read her essay "Mother Tongue."

Interpretation
Follow your analysis with a subjective interpretation of the meaning of the work. How does the work make you feel? What do you think the content is? Go beyond “I like it” or “I don’t like it.”
Research
the artist. Historical and biographical information on the artist often provides clues into a works intended meaning. Carefully consider the purpose and context of the piece. Did the piece you selected have any particular political or cultural message? Was the artist making a statement?
Value Judgement
What do you think the artist's intentions were? Was this communicated? Does it have value? Can you recognize the aesthetic quality in the work?
Write the Final Paper:
The following will help you write your paper. It should be used as a guideline, not an outline for approaching your paper. This is very similar to the process used by art critics.
Identification:
Note the title of the work, the date, the artist (if known), medium, and size.
Description:
What do you see? As fully as possible, describe what you see.
What medium is used? What is it made of?
How big is it?
Go into detail about what you see. How would you describe it, in detail, to someone who had never seen it?
What subjects are represented?
It can be helpful to begin looking at a work of art from the middle and work your way out.
Analysis:
Describe the form of the work Explain how visual elements and principles of design are used in the work. The terms in chapters 2, 3 & 4 will be very helpful. Go back and look at the chapter outlines or Short Paper assignment. Use them to:
Describe the use of visual elements such as line, shape, color & space used in the pieces. For example: In what way is it balanced? Is it asymmetrical or symmetrical? What is emphasized? What seems to be the dominating vi.

Art Criticism Take a field trip to a museum, gallery.docxdavezstarr61655
Art Criticism
Take a field trip to a museum, gallery, etc. to view works of art in order to find something you would
be interested in writing about in the mode of art criticism, including how the artwork relates to a
topic or theory we have covered in class, and using at least two sources (at least one of which should
be a scholarly article NOT from our course). 6 pages minimum.
Describe: Tell what you see (the visual facts).
Questions to consider:
1. Where did you see the art? (Name gallery/museum/etc., geographical location, etc.)
2. What is the name of the artist who created the artwork?
3. What kind of an artwork is it?
4. What is the name of the artwork?
5. When was the artwork created?
6. Name some other major events in history that occurred at the same time this artwork was
created.
7. List the literal objects in the painting (trees, people, animals, mountains, rivers, etc.).
8. What do you notice first when you look at the work(s)? Why?
9. What kinds of colors do you see? How would you describe them?
10. What shapes can we see? What kind of edges do the shapes have?
11. Are there lines in the work(s)? If so, what kinds of lines are they?
12. What sort of textures do you see? How would you describe them?
13. What time of day/night is it? How can we tell?
13. What is the overall visual effect or mood of the work(s)?
Analyze: Mentally separate the parts or elements, thinking in terms of textures, shapes/forms,
light/dark or bright/dull colors, types of lines, and sensory qualities. In this step consider the
most significant art principles that were used in the artwork. Describe how the artist used them
to organize the elements. Suggested questions to help with analysis:
Questions to consider:
1. How has the artist used colors in the work(s)?
2. What sort of effect do the colors have on the artwork?
3. How as the artist used shapes within the work of art?
4. How have lines been used in the work(s)? Has the artist used them as an important or
dominant part of the work, or do they play a different roll?
5. What role does texture play in the work(s)? Has the artist used the illusion of texture or has
the artist used actual texture? How has texture been used within the work(s).
6. How has the artist used light in the work(s)? Is there the illusion of a scene with lights and
shadows, or does the artist use light and dark values in a more abstracted way?
7. How has the overall visual effect or mood of the work(s)? been achieved by the use of
elements of art and principles of design.
8. How were the artists design tools used to achieve a particular look or focus?
Interpret: An interpretation seeks to explain the meaning of the work based on what you have
learned so far about the artwork, what do you think the artist was trying to say?
Questions to consider:
1. What was the artist’s statement.
STEP 1: VISIT >
https://artsandculture.google.com/partner?hl=en
.
Browse through the partner museums and select one that has a "Museum View" or "Street View"
(typically if you scroll to the bottom, it will appear above the map).
It is important to make sure your selected museum has a
"Museum View"
or
"Street View"
of inside the galleries of the museum - not all do. Please confirm this before moving to step two. For example, the National Museum of Art in Washington DC doesn’t have a Museum View so you can’t pick it but MoMA or the Tokyo Fuji Art Museum does!
Please also make sure to pick an art museum, as you’ll need to write about a work of art. So, sadly, no history museums like the Anne Frank House, NASA, or Smithsonian National History Museum.
STEP 2: Select a work of art from your museum within the Museum/Street View or collections page.
You’ll want to pick a work here so that you can analyze where it’s located, what’s next to it and what kind of frame it has. It will look like this or if you found it by looking through that museum’s collection, it will look like the second image.
STEP 3: When you’ve found your artwork, click on the entry to learn more about your individual artwork. Spend some time clicking around the room it's in, seeing what’s next to it and what the architecture of the space is like.
STEP 4: Time to answer some questions!
QUESTIONS TO ANSWER IN YOUR REPORT
Font & Spacing
: 12pt, Times or Arial; Single or double-spaced is fine.
Length
: 1000 words (ok to go over).
Style
: Write in complete sentences and with college-level spelling and grammar. Answer each question in the next section with about 150-200 words of text in a paragraph (not bullet points).
Underlining
: Please underline any art or art history specific vocabulary.
Format
: You can format your paper either with headings for each question OR as an essay with paragraphs for each question.
Sources
: you need at least two sources (cannot include Wikipedia) and to include Works Cited that is correctly formatted in MLA style.
You should also use in-text citations when referring to information that is taken from your sources. This lets the reader know what are your ideas and words vs. those that are from someone else.
You’ll include citations if you paraphrase, directly quote, or refer to information and concepts that come from other people.
Remember that what you list in your Works Cited page are sources that you actually cite in your report. This is not a bibliography so it's not sources that you used for research.
The artwork alone and by itself is not considered a source. If there was an essay that accompanied it, then yes, you can list that as one of your sources.

“Knowledgeable interaction with works of art makes life better: We see more of what can be seen, and we hear more of what can be heard. Our entire existence grows richer and deeper.” (Sporre, 2009, p. 2).
From your studies, you have seen how culture, societal norms, belief systems, and past experiences affect the way people view the world. Learning about these differences in perspective helps us to have a better understanding of the overall human experience. Whether analytical skills are applied to a task at work, or a humanistic point of view enables us to grasp an issue from another angle, these methods of looking at the world help us become more aware of our perceptions and provide a deeper and more meaningful existence.
In this task, you will analyze and interpret three creative works from three separate disciplines of the humanities using methods of subjective and objective analysis. Objective statements are based on simple observations and concrete information. Subjective statements are based on personal opinions, judgments, and feelings. These standard methods of analysis will enable you to critically view and interpret works from the humanities. You will use analytical and critical thinking skills to assess how meaning is constructed and imparted to a viewer or audience and will communicate your thoughts in a multimedia presentation (e.g., PowerPoint, Keynote). While the content of your presentation will focus on analyzing, interpreting, comparing, and contrasting three creative works from separate disciplines, your overarching goal will be to explain how the three works you analyze demonstrate the value of the humanities in meaningful ways.
Background:
Develop a multimedia presentation in which you analyze three creative works from three separate disciplines in the humanities. You will need to select works that share a common theme. This theme must relate to a profession within your field of study at WGU. You will share with your audience how being knowledgeable about the humanities and your selected theme is valuable in regards to this profession.
First you must choose one literary work from the given list below. Choose a literary work that has a theme that resonates with you and consider how this theme connects with your chosen profession. Every profession within your field of study at WGU (Business, IT, Nursing or Teaching) will have humanistic considerations. For example, a civil rights lawyer may be concerned with the theme of freedom, a firefighter with determination, a social worker with compassion, or an engineer with integrity. It is the intent of this task to explore the major themes of the humanities and their relevance to our professional lives.
Once you have selected a literary work, you will need to select two non-literary works from separate disciplines that share the same theme as the literary work you have selected. Your presentation will show how all.

Art 110 Art Appreciation - Formal Analysis Paper Assignment
-Remember - Late papers and emailed papers will NOT be accepted.
Description: A formal analysis includes an analysis of the forms appearing in the work you have chosen. These forms give the work its expression, message, or meaning. A formal analysis assumes a work of art is,
(1) a constructed object
(2) that has been created with a stable meaning (even though it might not be clear to the viewer)
(3) that can be ascertained by studying the relationships between the elements of the work.
You must include an image of yourself at the museum at the end of the paper. To aid in writing a formal analysis, you should think as if you were describing the work of art to someone who has never seen it before. When your reader finishes reading your analysis, she/he should have a complete mental picture of what the work looks like. Yet, the formal analysis is more than just a description of the work. It should also include a thesis statement that reflects your conclusions about the work. The thesis statement may, in general, answer a question like these: What do I think is the meaning of this work? What is the message that this work or artist sends to the viewer? What is this work all about? The thesis statement is an important element. It sets the tone for the entire paper, and sets it apart from being a merely descriptive paper.
Format for the Paper: Two and a half to three pages (not including title page, if you use one), , double spaced, 10 or 12 pt type (Times only), 1” borders. Make sure you proofread your papers for adhering to the information listed above, as well as incorrect grammar, spelling, punctuation, and other errors. In addition, make sure your paper includes a thesis statement. Your grade will reflect your ability to follow these guidelines.
In the first paragraph, called the introduction, you will include:
•the name of the artist (if known), title (which is underlined or italicizedevery time you use the title in your paper), date, and medium (if known).
•what you think is the subject
•a description of the work (using the elements of art and principles of design)
•thesis statement - usually the last line or so of your first paragraph.
From that point, the rest of the formal analysis should include not only a description of the piece, but especially those details of the work that have led you to come to your thesis. Yet, your paper should not be a random flow of ideas about the work (i.e. stream of consciousness writing). Rather, your paper should have a sense of order, moving purposefully through your description with regard to specific elements (ex: one paragraph may deal with composition, another with a description of the figures, another with the background, another about line, etc.). Finally, in your conclusion (the final paragraph) you should end your paper with a restatement of your thesis.
It is important to remember that your interest here is strictly ...

Your assignment is to write a formal response to this work. By caref.docxwoodruffeloisa
Your assignment is to write a formal response to this work. By carefully describing subject matter, medium, form, and context, you should be able to arrive at a thoughtful well -defended interpretation of the piece. (1) Describe it . Thoroughly. If it is representational, what is the subject matter depicted? If it is non -representational, say so. What does it look like? What is the medium? Have we studied/do you know anything about the process that resulted in the work? What size is it? Is it a 2 -dimensional or 3 -dimensional piece? Which formal elements stand out to you? What are the colors being used? Be as descriptive as possible. (2) Contextualize it . What is the title? What is the name of the artist who created it? Do you know anything about the artist? Is there a statement giving you more information? In which year was it made? Where is it being displayed as you are looking at it? How is it being displayed? Are there other works by the same artist there to give you more context? Can you compare and contrast it to other works you’ve seen elsewhere or studied ? (3) Interpret it. Based on your description, what do you think the artist was trying to say? It may be difficult to separate this interpretation from the descriptive process and it is okay if the two aspects are interwoven. (4) Respond to it. Though I am not interested in merely hearing whether or not you like the piece, I also want you to meaningful respond to the work. As art -critic Peter Scheldahl proposes, a question more valuable to ask yourself can be, “If I were someone who did like this piece, why would I like it?” Who is its intended audience and are you among that audience? Why did you choose this particular piece? What does it make you think about? Why do you think that the artist made the choices that she or he did? Do you agree with all of those choices? Is the artist’s intention clear/well -executed? How do you feel about the way in which the work is being displayed? Would it be more suitably exhibited somewhere else or alongside different work? This part of the paper may contain judgments, but at this point they will be well founded. Never make a proclamation without continuing the sentence with the because… Your response should be a minimum of one and a half double -spaced pages, 12 point font. If you are thorough in your description, you should find that you easily exceed this length.

ReadingCarefully read Chapter 1, paying close attention to the .docxsodhi3
Reading:
Carefully read Chapter 1, paying close attention to the works of art used as examples of the concepts covered in the chapter.
Assignment Instructions:
Choose two of the following concepts covered in this chapter to use as your titles for each of the two analyses required for this chapter. Each analysis must address a specific, different concept and students must demonstrate understanding of how their selected works of art clearly illustrate the chosen specific concepts, repeated before each of the analysis required:
• Art gives us pictures of deities or helps us conceive of what divinity might be.
• Art embodies the customs, beliefs, and values of the culture that uses it.
• Art entertains, communicates emotions and aesthetics of an individual artist.
• Visual form, sculpture and three-dimensional pieces, are created from costly materials in order render large scale, strong, lasting historical symbols, sometimes lasting for thousands of years.
• Art is an expression of our human response to the world and while some is realistic or made "from life, other works come from memory or reflections on life, like poems.
Using your own words, explain how your selected artwork embodies the concept you selected, and repeated as your title for each analysis. Describe specific details, both obvious and subtle, from within the artwork image to support your comments.
Explain how at least one of the Art Elements and/or Design Principles (explained Chapter 2) were used by the artist/s to help convey meaning to viewers. For example, how would a black and white photograph impact the ways in which viewers understand the artist's intentions? Why would one use black and white in any work of art, as opposed to full color?
Important Notice: You must explain how at least one of the art terms, which you explained in your Chapter 2 assignment, functions within and is used by the artist/s to help convey meaning the viewer in each future analysis, in order to earn full credit.
Note: Students must underline the specific term/s used in each analysis.
A "Personal Responses" paragraph should follow each analysis, where you express your personal reactions to, perceptions of, and insights into each selected work of art. Answer the questions, for example:
• How does the work make you feel?
• What are you reminded of?
• What do you think were the intentions of the artist/s?
• What value is the work to viewers?
Additional Instructor's Note: What is art? Art is strictly a human phenomenon, and there is no one definition, which can be applied to all time and all people or places. Some animals make tools, but they do not consider the aesthetics of (how to increase the beauty of) their tools. For example, they do not consider carving a beautiful handle or decorating them with jewels. None except human beings make art to better understand their life experience or to communicate some idea about the world to other human beings.
You must repeat the topic or specific concept assi ...

Communication: The Journey of Message
We have all had moments where communication meant the difference between resolving an issue and creating one. Describe an event or incident where being an active listener allowed you to calm a situation. Here are some questions to consider:
· What ways did dialogue contribute to diffusing the situation?
· Did you or the other people involved demonstrate body language cues that signaled the situation was escalating or diminishing?
· How did the situation resolve?
· If you could revisit that situation now, what would you change?
Click here to share your story!
Effective Communication in Art
Click on the picture icon to the right and insert images of art (any visual representation) that communicates new understanding of diversity issues. This can be anything from a multi-racial family to the physically active elderly sky diving or water skiing (defying the stereotypes on aging). Click on the word "Text" and describe the message being communicated and explain why some people might miss or ignore this message. If necessary, reference the image on the References page.
Listening to the Voiceless

Address the following questions:
1. What feelings or emotions did the video draw out in you? What made you connect to the person being interviewed?
2. What stereotypes did you find yourself falling into initially?
3. How might this video or others like it bring an end to othering of the homeless?

Literature and Identity Power
Literature has been used over the centuries in assimilating cultures and establishing cultures, but in more modern times it has become an effective tool to bring 'voice' to the marginalized and underrepresented. One example is Amy Tan, an Asian American writer of the novel, The Joy Luck Club, and many others. Her essays often focus on Identity Power in ways that are inclusive to all groups which is one reason her work has been so effective. Click on this link and read her essay "Mother Tongue."

Writing Assignment Media Analysis You are required to submi.docxbillylewis37150
Writing Assignment: Media Analysis
You are required to submit the FINAL copy of this assignment, but you may first submit an optional
DRAFT. This will allow you to receive qualitative feedback that can inform your revision. You should
always avoid focusing solely on the grader’s DRAFT feedback; use the feedback as a supplement to the
course lessons and your own revision ideas. Always expect to revise beyond what the DRAFT grader
specifically notes if you want to improve your score.
For this media analysis, you will analyze how one part affects the whole media production.
Note that you should select only a single piece of media; you should not be discussing more
than one film, for example. You should choose one1 of the following parts to explore:
Genre: Explain how the production you chose fits into its genre.
Camera: Analyze how the camera’s use (camera angles, for instance) affects the
overall production.
Lighting: Describe how lighting is used to enhance or detract from the production.
Actors/Characters: Analyze how the actors OR the characters themselves enhance or
detract from the production.
Symbols: Explain what the symbols are and how their usage affects the overall
production.
Music: Describe how the music enhances or detracts from the media production.
Sound Effects: Analyze how the sound effects enhance or detract from the
production.
Special Effects: Explain what special effects are used and how they affect the viewing
experience.
Comparison to a Literary Work: (Note: This option may only be chosen if the film you
chose is also in print form.) How are the book and film similar? How are they
different? Which is better, and why?
Your purpose in this assignment is to explain how or why something works; therefore, you
should not include a full summary of the media production. Instead, you can provide context
where needed so the reader understands what is happening. The body of the essay must

components.
focus on your analysis. You can use the ideas contained in the Media Analysis lesson
presentation and the Writer’s Handbook link to help you.
As with all college writing, your essay should have a strong thesis statement in addition to an
introduction, body, and conclusion.
Other than your chosen film, television show, and/or book, you are required to cite at least
one other credible2 source for this essay. This resource from the course will help you
understand more about evaluating sources. Moreover, if you use specific information from
the media production and/or print source, such as a quotations, you should include your
chosen media source on your Works Cited page, too. Use proper parenthetical citations or
signal phrases, and be sure to include MLA documentation and a Works Cited pag.

Writing Assignment: Illustration Essay
You are required to submit the FINAL copy of this assignment, but you may first submit an optional
DRAFT. This will allow you to receive qualitative feedback that can inform your revision. You should
always avoid focusing solely on the grader’s DRAFT feedback; use the feedback as a supplement to the
course lessons and your own revision ideas. Always expect to revise beyond what the DRAFT grader
specifically notes.
In short, an illustration essay will use clear, interesting examples to show, explain, and
support a thesis statement (remember, your thesis is your main argument, or the main
point you’re trying to make). One key to an effective illustration essay is to use enough
details and specific examples to make your point effectively. In other words, descriptive
writing is key.
You have several options for this assignment, so you will need to choose one:
Illustrate the ideal work environment. If everything was perfect at work, what would
it be like? Describe everything in this environment—perhaps from the dispositions of
your coworkers and supervisors to what clothes you wear to work.
Illustrate what it means to be a “true friend.” What does being a “true friend” mean
to you? What “true friends” have you had, and how do their actions coincide with
being your definition of a “true friend?”
Illustrate how your favorite team or player received their current standing or
ranking. How did the team or player do in the most recent season? What qualities did
this team or player demonstrate to earn this ranking?
Look at your favorite poem or short story, and use illustration to explain what
makes it your favorite. Do you enjoy the author’s language? Do you enjoy the
storyline? What else do you enjoy that makes it your favorite?
Illustrate the purpose of props on the set of your favorite media production. What
props are there? Why are they important?
Illustrate how to create your favorite dish. What steps are required to create this
dish? Be sure that you take your audience through this process step by step!
Illustrate how to play your favorite game. What steps and/or actions are necessary
to play this game? Take your readers through the motions, step by step.
The questions above are designed to help you begin brainstorming ideas; however, you are
free to develop your own brainstorming questions and use them to develop your essay.
Since the purpose of this essay is to illustrate, you should have enough specific details and
examples for your essay to be considered an illustration essay.
Many illustrations may come from your personal experiences. However, even personal
experiences should be supported by research in college essays. Thus, you must cite at least
one credible1 source to earn maximum credit for this essay. This resource from the course

Writing Assignment:
Critical Review of "World Music" Essay
Choose from Topic A.
• Suggested length:
3 pages or 600 words and a reference page
.
• Final Paper Due
Topic A:
A defining feature of "world music," "world beat," or "ethno-pop," as it has variously been called, is the production of recordings by well-known American and European pop musicians that include traditional musicians from other cultures performing in a back-up role, or that call attention to themselves by the use of musical exotica extracted from traditional cultures. Such recordings suggest a range of issues and questions that invite critique and debate. Some of these are listed below:
1. How do a recording's musical arrangements, title, graphics, and accompanying notes represent the relationship between Western lead musicians and participating traditional musicians?
2. Is music on the recording attributed to an author, composer, or arranger? Who holds the copyright? What do attributions and credits suggest about rights to, and ownership of, the music?
3. Are the musical and personal relationships negotiated through the production of the album compatible with beliefs about rights to, and ownership of, music in the imported tradition represented on the recording?
4. Does the lead artist show musical respect for the imported tradition(s) represented on the recording? What is "musical respect" and how might it be shown or not shown?
5. Do artists who employ traditional musicians have obligations not only to the musicians but to the political entities or cultural traditions that they represent? What factors would determine whether they do or do not?
6. Should traditional musicians be implicated in the capitalist culture of risk that is an inherent part of the record business? That is, should traditional musicians get a fixed "session" fee for participating in a recording, or should they be paid royalties based on sales?
7. Are cross-cultural "world music" and "world beat" projects inherently opportunistic and exploitative?
The Assignment:
Choose either a recording from the attached list or a recording not on the list that meets the criteria of "a cross-cultural fusion in which Western musicians work with artists or musical material from traditions different than their own." If you choose a recording not on the list, please let me know what it is before you begin your work.
Write a critical review of the recording in which you do the following:
1. Offer a concise description of the musical and aesthetic concept behind the recording, or answer the question, "What did the artists or producers set out to do?"
2. Discuss the way in which "roots" music is incorporated into the musical sound.
3. Discuss musical, aesthetics, and ethical issues that the recording raises, taking into account the list provided above. Think about the relationship between aesthetics (what is beauty?) and ethics (what is good?). You are welcome to consider issues on the.

WRITING ASSIGNMENT 2
1.The plaintiffs—the Nicols, Hoerrs, Turners, and Andersons—purchased subdivision lots from Ken Nelson. The lots bordered an undeveloped tract and offered scenic views of an adjacent lake. When Nelson and his partners began taking steps to develop the previously undeveloped tract, the plaintiffs sued. The trial court found that the plaintiffs had purchased their lots only after receiving oral assurances from Nelson that (1) the tract would remain undeveloped open space, (2) the property was owned by a company that had no plans to build on the land, (3) he held an option to purchase the property if it became available, and (4) he would not develop the land if it came under his ownership. Concluding that the plaintiffs had reasonably relied on Nelson’s oral promise, the trial court enjoined Nelson’s development of the property based on promissory estoppel. Nelson appealed, arguing that the Statute of Frauds, which requires that contracts involving interests in real property be in writing, barred enforcement of his oral promise. Is the trail court correct or is Nelson correct? Discuss fully.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

intellect and perception, arouse interest and convey meaning. In
most cases, then, you
will be translating the visual (what you see, or observe) into
language (what you write).
In order to do this, you will have to be extremely attentive to
the characteristics of the work—your observations.
This means that your description will incorporate a large
portion of your essay. Remember
to be attentive to the vocabulary of the discipline of Art. I f
you do not know what a word means, better not to use it.
You must also be able to develop a thesis statement with a
detailed analysis and argument about the artwork you have
chosen.
Therefore, you must consider what it is you want to say, and use
description to make that
point. In many ways, writing an Art History essay is similar to
writing other types of
2. essays in the Humanities. It requires a clear and focused topic,
an arguable thesis, an
organized format and structure, clear and coherent paragraphs,
and a command of
grammar and style.
Comparison and Contrast
In many beginning Art History courses, and in more advanced
ones as well, you
will be asked to write a paper in which you make a comparison
and contrast between two
works of art. This type of essay usually requires a substantial
comparative judgment of the two works, which will function as
your thesis statement.
One option for a thesis statement for this kind of comparative
essay could be based on how you see the two works in relation
to each other and to some aspect of the human condition, or
culture, or history. It could be, for example, that both artists
painted peasants working in a field, but one painting suggests
the oneness of humans and nature, perhaps because the figures
appear to be an integral part of the field in which they are
working, while the other painting emphasizes the separation
between humans and nature. The evidence you provide for your
thesis will include your interpretation, analysis, and description
of the characteristics of both works, and must at all times relate
to your thesis. For example, if you are discussing horizontality
or verticality, you need to first accurately and clearly describe
these elements in both works and then evaluate how these visual
orientations demonstrate the validity of your thesis concerning
humans as a part of nature or separate from it.
3. Unless the assignment specifies a work-by-work approach, it is
usually best that
you do not divide the paper into two discrete sections: a
discussion of one work of art
followed by a discussion of the other. Instead, each paragraph
can include discussion of
both works in relation to a particular element or a well thought-
out combination of
elements, such as color and texture. The point of comparison or
contrast that each paragraph makes must, remember, support the
point of your paper, your thesis.
Thesis Statement-
In this writing assignment I am giving you the thesis statement.
Most academic essays seek to persuade readers to understand a
specific issue in a
specific way—the writer’s way. The writer’s thesis statement
offers this substantial but
concise assertion of her/his understanding (usually in one to two
sentences in the
introduction or near the beginning of the essay), thereby
providing an essay with its
judgmental focus. Perhaps, though, in writing about art you
might want to offer a well thought-out central idea rather than
an overtly argumentative statement. For example, “African art
4. was a major influence on the work of Pablo Picasso” states a
well-documented and widely shared opinion that is interesting
but uncontroversial. Of course, a paper on this
topic would have to fully elaborate on that relationship and
offer examples of it.
The difference between an idea and a thesis statement is in their
degree of
contention. The above example of a central idea could be
debatable, but mainly the
disagreement would arise if the writer does not adequately
explain and illustrate the idea
through detailed description, intelligent criticism, and analysis,
and not because of the
idea itself. However, in a thesis statement—such as, “Picasso’s
treatment of women in his art mirrors the distorted vision he
had of women in general”—it is more obvious that readers will
either strongly disagree or agree, by the very nature of the claim
itself. Moreover, even if the writer advances a stimulating
argument with impressive evidence in defense of the thesis,
because the claim is so contentious, a reader may still disagree.
Using Sources
A good research paper often includes evidence from both
Primary and secondary sources . Whether you are using primary
or secondary sources, remember to explain and analyze the
passages that you have chosen from the texts (or elements you
have chosen from the works), and what those passages (or
elements) mean in relation to your argument. You must also
5. prepare your reader before using passages (direct or
paraphrased) by providing at least a brief background.
Primary Sources
Primary sources refer to the original materials (not what another
author says about
them). In the case of art, primary sources will most likely be the
art (paintings, sculptures,
installations) itself, or interviews with artists. Your most
Primary Source is
you
looking at the work.
Secondary Sources
Interpreting and commenting on primary sources, secondary
sources include
books and articles in scholarly journals. These texts are
extremely helpful as they deepen
our knowledge of art and inform us of the many critical
approaches to art that scholars
and other specialists in the field have taken. Even though these
sources are of great value,
an art paper is usually not comprised entirely of secondary
sources.
Documentation:
You will be required to document all of your sources, including
6. ideas,
paraphrases, quotations, and references to a complete text. We
will be using
the MLA (The Modern Language Association) for source
documentation.
Formal Analysis
Although this is a type of writing about art it is also the way art
historians look and understand art. The formal analysis is a
technique you can use to observe a painting sculpture or
building. If you get into the habit of looking at art work this
way you will be observing completely. A Formal Analysis
considers all the formal parts (e.g., framing, symmetry,
perspective, etc.) of a work of art and their relationship to each
other to create new and interesting ways of observing and
understanding the work in question as a whole. Please use the
guide below to help you focus on how to look at art work.
[The following questions have been adapted from a guide
written by J.S. Held, Professor
Emeritus, Barnard College.]
Painting
1.
Identification
--Who is the artist?
--What is the subject or title?
--Where and when was the work painted?
7. 2.
Subject Matter
--What type of painting is it?
a. religious
b. historical
c. allegorical
d. genre (scene of everyday life)
e. still life
f. portrait
g. landscape
h. architectural view
--If the painting seems to belong to two or more categories,
does one dominate?
3.
Frame and Pictorial Area
--What is the relationship of the shapes to the frame? Are they
harmonious or
discordant?
--What is the actual size of the picture (height x width)?
--Does the frame cut the shapes?
8. 4.
Technique
--What materials are used for support: wood, canvas, cardboard,
paper?
--What kinds of colors are used: oil, tempura, watercolor,
pastel?
--How is the paint applied: thickly or thinly, with a fine or
coarse brush, or by
other means?
--Are colors transparent or opaque?
--Have other materials been used, as in a collage?
5.
Composition
(arrangement of the parts that form the whole)
--Organization: Is it simple or complex? Geometrically ordered
or free and
seemingly
accidental? Do some forms dominate others? Is there
symmetry?
Is the painting crowded or spacious? Do the shapes vary or do
they repeat?
--Individual units: Are there many or few? Are they large or
small (in relation to
9. both the outside world and to the picture area)? What kinds of
patterns do they form? What are the proportions of solid and
broken areas? Is the emphasis on central or marginal areas? Are
forms multi-dimensional or flat?
--Lines: Are lines clear or obscure? Angular or curved?
--Colors: Are they bright or subdued (‘saturated’ or ‘low-key’)?
Are there many
colors or few (is the palette ‘wide’ or ‘limited’)? Are the
dominant colors
warm (reds, oranges, yellows) or cool (blues, grays, greens)?
Are there
moderate or extreme contrasts? Large areas or small patches?
Repetitions or
echoes?
--Light: Is there a consistent source? Is the source inside or
outside the picture? Is
light used to emphasize parts of the picture, to create mood?
--Space: Is the space shallow or deep, open or screened? Is the
emphasis on
solids or voids (intervals)? What kind of perspective is used
(linear or aerial)? Is the main interest near or far? Is space
suggested by in-depth or recessed planes? Is there any overlap?
What is the degree of illusion?
Considerations for Different Types of Subject Matter
10. 1.
Landscape
--What is the size of the area shown?
--What is the spectator’s viewpoint?
--How far can we see into the picture?
--What kind of place is shown: cultivated fields, woods,
riverbank?
--Can the season or time of day be determined?
--What kind of human activity is shown, if any?
--What kind of architectural elements appear and what are their
thematic and
spatial relationships to the site?
--What is the proportion of cloud to sky? Plane to elevation?
Water to land?
--What is the general character of the scene: attractive,
forbidding, calm,
turbulent, spectacular, intimate? What elements determine the
effect: lighting, color scheme, spatial organization?
2.
General Observations
--Does the work seem spontaneous or calculated?
--How do the formal elements convey theme, mood, visual
11. interest?
--What was the original function of the picture? Was it done for
a public or
private place?
--Is it possible to make a reasoned statement about the artist’s
aim? Does the artist
wish to elevate the spirit, instruct, moralize, entertain, or satisfy
her/his own
need for expression?
For this Journal you are asked to write a comparison between
two works. The first one is the Stone Breakers by Courbet. It is
figure 31-12 in your text.
The second image is by John Constable, The Hay Wain, from
chapter 3, figure 30-61.
Both paintings are landscapes with people. Your thesis
statement is: "How do Realism and the avant-garde in art
represent the rejection of academic taste and practice?" The
painting that is a Realist avant-garde piece is the Courbet, the
paiting by Constable represents the past academic taste and
practice.
Requirements for Journal:
Follow all directions, rogue journals will recieve a grade of 0.
12. 1. Formal analysis of both pieces should include observations
from each of the five areas listed above.
2. Use the "Considerations of subject matter" to help you to
compare the paintings and draw conclusions about the thesis
statement.
3. Use a mimimum of secondary sources and cite them
correctly.
4. Mainly use primary sources, you looking at the work.
5. Journals should be long enough to completely answer the
thesis statement.
