Aesthetics

Final paper. An important part of the learning process is the ability to apply the concepts and techniques studied in this course to a related domain of your choice. The final paper is meant to provide exactly this opportunity. You will be expected to write a 1,500-word paper (or a 2,500-word piece if you need writing credit) applying the concepts and techniques examined in this course to understand some aspect of a work in the arts. More specifically, you should evaluate an artwork (or some artworks) in one of the arts (literature, cinema, performing arts, fine arts, music, or architecture), depending on of your choice. You should briefly describe it, identify its salient features and determine how successfully these features have been implemented given the choices made in the composition of the work. preferably as a Word file, making sure that the name of the files for each of your assignments is in the format:

‘YourLastName _YourFirstName _TypeOfAssignment.doc’. (The final paper corresponds to 40% of the final grade.)
