Writing A discussion about 2 dimensional art and replying to 2 comments
I’m working on a Art question and need guidance to help me study.
Engagement and participation are important aspects of any college course.
For this online course your engagement and participation are partly
determined by your presence on the Discussion Boards.
Every student should make at least one original contextual analysis post
and two comments to other students' posts for each module. Posts should be
in full, grammatically correct sentences that create at least one solid
response of at least 600 words--make sure you include a word count. The 600
word count does NOT include any headers or references section. All posts
must be relevant to the assigned materials (although you may build upon
previous knowledge from earlier weeks and include personal observations).
Start by answering the prompt, and then build upon the prompt to consider
your own perspectives and experiences. You MUST attach photos and web links
to support your position. An important part of your grade for this
assignment is to communicate with your classmates. Because this is intended
to be your opportunity to discuss topics with your classmates, the
professor/TA will generally refrain from commenting or actively
participating in the discussions aside from reading and grading them.
Each of the two comments should be at least 200 words (include a word
count) on two different classmates’ posts each module to receive full
credit.
Posts: For this post, select one work of art (two-dimensional or
three-dimensional art) has NOT been already analyzed or extensively
discussed in the course readings or videos...part of the fun in learning
about art is in DISCOVERING it! You are required to make one post. In a
narrative format, the post should contain the following elements:
- Define and Identify: Brief information about the artist and work. For
example, birth/death dates, place of birth or work, where work is
displayed, name of work, medium of work, context for creation of work.
- Experience and Appreciation: For example, where you found the work
(website, another book, museum), what made you select the work, what about
this work speaks to you.
- Observe and Analyze: Use and underline three terms that were
introduced in the module to observe/analyze your chosen work. Add any other
relevant information to improve your paper.
- Critique and Compare: Compare your work to similar pieces or to
examples used in the module. Consider the impact of the work on a
particular social angle and/or the evolution of the media. Consider the
impact of experiencing the work on your general outlook on the medium or
appreciation of art.
- Apply Social Angles AND Context: Identify at least one social angle
from the list below that can be observed or analyzed as part of the work.
Address how the social angle is connected to the work. Plus, a thorough
contextual analysis of the historical, cultural, and social implications
should be discussed.
- race and ethnicity,
- gender and sexuality,
- class and highbrow/low,
- colonialism, postcolonialism, place and regionalism,
- nature (environment, ecology) and culture,
- memory, history, generational identity,
- food culture, and
- body and mind
Students will be expected to define, identify, and apply at least three
terms (underline them so I can quickly find them) from the module in the
post. Make sure to underline the terms so that I can quickly identify them.
College-level writing and mechanics are expected; however, the purpose of
this assignment is to move from experiencing art to analyzing art to
evaluating art. Make sure to include a references section at the end of
every post, even if you only cite the lecture video. All in-text citations
and references should be in MLA.
Comments: For each of the two comments, select a classmate's post, read the
post, critique the post, indicate your reaction to the chosen work, discuss
a comparison work from the module or any other outside source that is
similar to the work identified in the post, and either add personal
commentary or pose a question to stimulate conversation.
*EXAMPLE: Here is a pdf file containing a discussion post from a previous
semester that earned an "A" to help give you an idea of what is expected.
