Choose one of the following broad thesis statements (which relate to class themes and readings), and at least three related artworks, and then do the following:
- narrow the thesis down and refine it to make a more specific claim with regard to the artworks you have chosen
- use the evidence from your research to support the thesis.
For many artists in the late 19th and earlier 20th centuries, an emphasis on the use of non-naturalistic colours was a key means for developing new modes of artistic expression. (Classes 2, 3. Suggested artists: Vincent van Gogh, Paul Gauguin, Henri Matisse and the Fauves, Ernst Kirchner and other members of Die Brücke)
For the Cubist artists Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque, jokes, puns, and visual games played an important role in their development of a groundbreaking new artistic style. (Class 4. Suggested artists: Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque)
(*This highlighted text is the topic that I have chosen for this assignment.)
GUIDELINES FOR WRITING YOUR RESEARCH PAPER:
1) Use the observations you made in the first written assignment – the Research Log Worksheet – as a jumping off point to write a carefully crafted and well-argued research paperon your selected topic.
2) Choose THREE artworks to focus on in your paper. The artworks may be by the same artist, or different artists.
3) Provide a figure number (i.e. Fig. 1, Fig. 2, etc.) for any image you include in the paper, the first time you mention it. Put the figure number in brackets at the end of the sentence. Provide the figure number again if you compare this work to another work. At the end of the paper, include your illustrations, and identify each one with the appropriate figure number.
4) Your opening paragraph should include yourthesis statement,which will put forward the argument you are going to make about the artworks you are focusing on. The thesis statement is an important element and MUST BE INCLUDED in the opening paragraph. In other words, avoid generalizations at the start of your essay and focus on your thesis from the very beginning.
5) Support your thesisby comparing the three artworks you have chosen, and through additional research from AT LEAST FOUR scholarly sources (which can include the one you used for the first written assignment).
6) Your scholarly sources should consist of secondary sources (i.e. books by art historians, articles in scholarly journals by art historians), andprimary sources, if appropriate (i.e. writing by artists and/or critics from the period of the works you discuss).
7) Be sure to cite your sources thoroughly in order to avoid plagiarism, a very serious academic office. You are to follow the guidelines from the Chicago Manual of Style. For tips on how to cite your sources properly and avoid plagiarism, consult your course syllabus.
8) Provide a title page that includes the title of your essay. The title of the essay should relate to or signal your thesis.Also include your name, student number, and course information. Add page numbers to your research paper, but do not include the title page, or the pages with the image illustrations, in your page count.

Art Criticism
Art criticism is the process of gathering facts and information about a work of art and the artist to describe, analyze, interpret, and evaluate art. For this assignment, you will choose one work of art from the following artists to critique.
Select ONE (1) work of art by one of the following artists:
- Mary Cassatt
- Pierre-Auguste Renoir
- Claude Monet
- Edgar Degas
- Berthe Morisot
- Gustave Caillebotte
Complete the following:
- Identify the artist, the title of the artwork, the date it was completed, and the size of the art piece in the first paragraph.
- Paste an image of the painting in your paper. (The images in the textbook are copyright-protected and cannot be copied. To find the exact painting, search the Internet by the artist’s name and the title of the work. Right-click and copy the image. Open a Word document and right-click and paste. If the image does not paste into your paper, try another image. Sometimes images are protected and cannot be copied. Wherever you do find the image, make sure to cite your source in APA style. If you are unsure how to cite an image, this resource can help you.)
- Use the four steps to critiquing art that are found in Chapter 9 of the Embracing Art textbook to develop a critique of the work. Be sure that you write a well-developed paragraph on each of the four areas indicating specific areas in the painting in your explanation:
- Description
- Analysis
- Interpretation
- Evaluation
- Explain how art can be “aesthetically pleasing” even if it isn’t beautiful?
- How did viewers of the selected work of art respond to the work at the time it was created?
Part 2
Using a camera or cell phone, take THREE (3) of your own, uniquely different, photographs from your immediate environment that exemplify each of the following styles of art (be creative!):
- Realism
- Impressionism
- Post-Impressionism
You can manipulate your photographs with any software effects to achieve the appropriate results. For example, you can take a photo of a friend or family member, and using software, blur the image to represent impressionism.
Include your 3 original photographs in your paper. (Save the photos to your desktop. If you use your phone camera, you can e-mail them to yourself. Open the image and right-click and copy. Open a Word document and right-click and paste.)
Include the following information in paragraph style:
- Number each photo and identify the style it closely resembles.
- Explain the characteristics of each style that you tried to emulate.
- What style of art would best be used to communicate a direct message? Explain
- What style of art would evoke an emotional response? Explain.
- Identify 3 examples of Realism in art or design that you see on a daily basis.
- Describe a situation in which the style of Impressionism might best be used in art and/or design today?
In-text citations and a list of references are required when including or paraphrasing any idea, fact, date, or other information from the textbook or other references.

Presentation Development
Presentation Development
Be sure to read the presentation rubric to see how your presentation will be graded.
After you have chosen your form of motorsport, you need to create a power point presentation regarding your chosen form of motorsports.
The power point presentation MUST have a voice over so that we may hear your presentation.
The Lecture presentations can be used as a guide as they are done by previous students.
Note that adding your talking points or speech to the notes section of PowerPoint will help both you and the audience as you present.
Your PowerPoint should open and begin with one click.
Your PowerPoint slides should advance automatically as you discuss the slide.
Remember, a PowerPoint slide is a visual aid and is NOT the place to display every word you say.
Your presentation and audio should be enthusiastic and interesting.
You should include:
the beginning of the sport
major highlights to date
some of the rules
the type of participants
the current state of the sport
the type of people that watch the sport
important social and economic impact factors (why is the sport important to the local economy and or what social impact is there)
other pertinent factors that make the presentation interesting
The presentation should be LESS THAN 20 minutes in length. Target 15 minutes… Less than 10 minutes is not good… More than 20 minutes is NOT an “overachiever.”
Posting a presentation topic will get you up to 10 points. The presentation itself is worth 100 points.
POST YOUR PRESENTATION IN THE APPROPRIATE DISCUSSION FORUM STARTING A NEW THREAD.

Choose ONE of the following questions:
1. YOU, THE ARTIST
Write a poem or a brief essay, draw or paint a picture, make a carving, compose a song, take a series of photographs. Consider doing a self-portrait in any artistic medium or literary form, representational or abstract. To get started, you might look at “Project Art-a-Day” at http://projectartaday.blogspot.com/2013/03/lesson-value-self-portraits.html
Include images or audio files of your creative efforts in your response. Then reflect on your experience.
2. CROSS-FERTILIZATION
Present and discuss an example of cross-fertilization between two or more art forms. For example, you might compare a theater presentation with a film adapation of the same play, or discover and describe how a poem can be illustrated as a drawing or painting.
For this discussion, you might also compare art forms between two different cultures. For example, you might compare how religious images or music differ between religious or cultural groups.
Be sure to include images and links so everyone can see or hear what you’re discussing.
3. REVIEW A TED TALK
TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, and Design. The TED organization sponsors global presentations on “Ideas Worth Spreading.”
Go to the website https://www.ted.com/ . Find a TED talk that addresses the value of one of the humanities fields covered in this course or a controversy in one of the humanities disciplines.
Write a review of the presentation. First, identify the name of the speaker and the presentation, indicate when it was presented, and give a link to the talk. Second, describe the main points of the TED talk. Finally, offer a critique —your assessment of the speaker’s ideas and the presentation overall.
4. DISCUSS FUNDING FOR THE ARTS
Although most people appreciate the arts as part of their everyday lives (perhaps, especially, music and film), the arts often are first to go when public school funding is tight. Use the educational resources for this week as a starting place to explore the pros and cons of public funding for the arts and funding for art and music in public schools.
