Take Action

Scientific research on happiness has made a clear association between a sense of belonging (connection to others) and the experience of happiness. Ask at least two people about their viewpoint on how social media such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, or even texting can contribute to or detract from a genuine sense of connection and belonging. Share their responses, and your analysis of their contributions.

Museum visit

Visit one of the museums sampled in the article linked to here:

  • https://hyperallergic.com/547919/2500-virtual-museum-tours-google-arts-culture/ (Links to an external site.)

The twelve museums listed in the article are some of the major museums of the world and span all of art history. My suggestion is to browse through several museums to get an idea what you can find (and which interface works for you) and then select an artwork you would like to write about.

Write a review of a work of art that you’ve encountered during your Museum visit. Follow the standard practices for writing a review:

Introduction
Description
Formal analysis
Contextual analysis
Iconography
Interpretation
Evaluation

Your review needs to be three full pages of writing or more (750-1000 words.) Use Chicago style citation and provide (a Chicago style) bibliography. https://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/tools_citationguide.html (Links to an external site.)

Find various types of media and art based on the terms we have discussed within this course. Provide the information requested, complete a formal analysis of the work, and then provide your opinion of the work you have chosen.

Museum/Gallery Scavenger Hunt:

Instructions
Visit the Google Arts and Cultures Project { https://artsandculture.google.com/partner } to virtually visit museums. If you cannot find one piece at your first museum, you can search at other ones as well. You do not need to print this out, you can just complete it on your computer so I am able to read it. Be sure you are completing a formal analysis, which means describe how the principles and elements of art are being used in the works. In terms of Media, this is asking what the piece is made of.

You will be required to visit an art museum virtually through the Google Arts and Cultures Project. Within the content tab on D2L, the scavenger hunt will be posted. You are to print this out and complete this assignment before its assigned due date. You will be asked to find various types of media and art based on the terms we have discussed within this course. Once you have found the artwork that fits the requirements you are to provide the information requested, complete a formal analysis of the work, and then provide your opinion of the work you have chosen. Each question will require a different art piece, so you will need to hunt these down and virtually explore the museum for them. If you can’t find one of the works at your first museum, you can explore another, just be sure to provide the link to the work.

Explain how the artworks exhibit them and describe their specific locations within the artworks. Choose your examples carefully, as your grade depends on the quality of your selection and justification.

Artworks exhibit

In this assignment, you will demonstrate your understanding of them by finding the visual elements and principles of design in the provided works of art. You will also explain how the artworks exhibit them and describe their specific locations within the artworks. Choose your examples carefully, as your grade depends on the quality of your selection and justification.

Here is the list of the visual elements:

  1. Line
  2. Shape
  3. Mass
  4. Space
  5. Time & Motion
  6. Light
  7. Color
  8. Texture

The explanation of each visual element should be at least 60 words. Shorter than the minimum required length will result in a point deduction. Each explanation is worth 10 points, so the total is 80 points.

Choose your examples carefully, as your grade depends on the quality of your selection and justification.

Then, you will provide analysis and opinions based on your research and answer some reflective questions which should include all of the following sections in essay form:

1. Artist (10 points): This portion should be comprised of information about the artist of your choice as well as why you selected them. Begin with: Who is the artist? Why did you choose the artist – what is generally interesting to you about them? Additional suggestions for material: date and place of birth and death, family information, lifetime accomplishments, famous art pieces, effects or impact on society, or historical significance.

* Length: At least 150 words, no more than 250 words.

2. Artwork (15 points): This portion should be your own subjective response to a work of art by the same artist you selected. Why did you choose the artwork – what is generally interesting to you about it? What was your initial, subjective interpretation of the artwork? Did it change as you found out more about the context of the artwork? What emotions, concepts, or ideas did it provoke in you? Do not simply describe the work or state whether or not you “like” the work; but rather, elaborate with specific details from the work that illustrate your response.

* Include the title of the work (in italics) and a picture of the artwork

* Length: At least 150 words, no more than 250 words.

3. Critical Analysis (25 points): This portion of the writing assignment should be your own critical response to the work of art you selected. You must base your opinion on the principles of design, which include: balance (symmetry), rhythm, emphasis, proportion, scale, unity, variety, contrast, pattern, and movement and you must use this specific vocabulary throughout. Things to consider: how does the artist’s use of the POD emphasize and support their content – the meaning of the work? Thinking back to Reflective Analysis 1, are there broader thematic messages conveyed by the artwork? What are they? Be sure to not simply describe the work, but rather, elaborate with specific details from the work that illustrate your analysis.
* Length: At least 250 words, no more than 350 words.

4. Bibliography (10 points): You must provide a bibliography in one of the formal the correct citation styles that includes at least 3 sources. Online sources are ok, but at least one source must be a book/journal/periodical/ catalog and must be in addition to your textbook, and remember, Wikipedia doesn’t count. You are encouraged to research the artwork at your school’s library by searching through books and articles, written by scholars in the field of art and art history. Check out your campus’s library online and ask a librarian or tutor for help.

 

Notes:
*You should begin working on your assignment as soon as it is introduced and saving it as a MS Word document on your computer. Prior to and no later than the noted due date and time in the course schedule you will submit your work as instructed. You are strongly encouraged not to wait until the last day / hours / minutes to submit your work to avoid any last-minute technical issues.

*Be sure to use correct spelling and grammar throughout your essay. This will be reviewed, and deductions taken for errors.

Quick Quiz

  • What is the function of the papillary muscles and chordae tendineae?

P-muscles tighten CT; prevents prolapse of AV valves

  • What are the four stages of the cardiac cycle? Which stage marks the shift from systole to diastole?

Quick Quiz

  • What problem of cardiac output might ensue if the heart beats too fast for an extended period, that is, if tachycardia occurs?

Time for ventricular filling decreases, which eventually decreases end diastolic volume (preload), stroke volume and ultimately cardiac output
