Q Week 10 Discussion 2 Resources Read/review the following resources for this activity: • Research as necessary Introduction In a few weeks, you have to record your own personal philosophy of art. One of the steps in helping you to think about what attracts you to a work of art was the Show-And-Tell project. Toward that end, I would like you to go back and look at your choices again. Initial Post Instructions 1) List 3-5 consistent characteristics you see among and between the works you chose. 2) Describe any patterns you see to help you isolate the criteria that inspires you to value a work of art. 3) Tell whether or not these discoveries surprise you, or perhaps you will share and confirm your recognition of a quality you already knew existed. 4) Further, to help widen that perspective, can you identify one common thread in one of your classmate's projects. (These do not need to be unique - you may add credence to a characteristic others see also.) Perhaps you might even uncover something that the student himself or herself did not observe. Secondary Post Instructions Respond to at least one peer and provide a substantive response to his/her postings. ________________________________________ Writing Requirements • In addition to one initial post, respond to at least one peer • Initial Post Length: minimum of 300 words • Secondary Post Length: minimum of 300 words per post • Use MLA format for in-text citations and list of references. ________________________________________ Grading and Assessment Meeting the minimum number of postings does not guarantee an A; you must present an in-depth discussion of high quality, integrate sources to support your assertions, and refer to peers’ comments in your secondary posts to build on concepts.
