Arts
Development of world art
Using at least four artworks analyzed in Unit 2 of this course, identify the aesthetic / artistic / historical connections between each these artworks (as a group) and between each artwork and its unique social/historical context. Use both Western and Non-Western examples.
– Use an underlined Toulmin thesis statement to compose a two-page essay (normal size & spacing) that demonstrates an understanding of the intellectual and historical changes that have taken place in the development of world art[GECC2] during the covered time period in this section of the course. Support your analysis with additional art works analyzed in the course. College-level writing is expected [GECC1].
– To receive credit, each supporting example should be clearly and completely identified with: title, date, artist, culture, & medium. It best to AVOID a chronological approach.
Requirements: 2-3 pages or 1000 words
Quick sketch of the art
For this piece of the Course Project, you will submit your artwork choice along with a quick sketch of the art, your thesis, and outline as a single 1-2 page Word document. This outline will be a guide of how your paper will flow. Part of your grade will be determined by how well you follow this outline.
Once you have identified the work of art you want to write about, do a brief sketch of it. Make notes within the sketch about the elements and principles of design you see, and any other feelings and impressions you have. Take a photo of your sketch, to be turned in with your paper.
You will NOT be graded on your drawing skills for this sketch! This is just a perceptual exercise to help you really see the details of your chosen work of art. The process of sketching helps you see the work on a deeper level and will make the writing process much easier.
After your sketch is completed, begin your outline following the format below.

Historical painting
The goal of this assignment is to practice your skills at describing the TEXT, CONTEXT, and SUBTEXT of a piece of art of your choice, drawn from one of the genres discussed in the course.
After choosing one artwork from one of the genres we look at (poems, paintings, dance, architecture, or music videos), describe its text and context as fully as you can. That is, describe first the formal, artistic features of the work (the meter of a poem and its choice of words, the colors and subject of a painting, its brushwork, the clothing of the dancers, and energy level of the dancing in a dance, and etc.): the TEXT.
Then move on to describe the historical features that surround the works some detail, including relevant information about the time period the piece was created, information about the artists life and work, as well as relevant info about the history of the subject matter of the works: the CONTEXT.
Finally, offer an interpretation of the piece, analyzing its meaning in light of its TEXT and CONTEXT: the SUBTEXT
This paper (times new roman, 12pt font, 1.5 spacing, should be NO LONGER THAN 4 pages.
Globe Atmospheric Perspective
1- Attached are the following:
a) my painting about the global warming
b) the professor instructions about what should be done in the paper and its presentation (all should be reflected on the attached painting)
2- Some information about my painting:
In my painting, I have applied what I’ve learned in this course. So, I applied the Transparency lesson that appears in my colors when I mixed up the red and yellow that makes orange color seen. Also, in coloring the globe Atmospheric Perspective I apply what I’ve learned in this lesson through manipulation of hue. The value and saturation Color Temperature Warm vs. Cool and this appears in terms of the warm color like yellow and the cool color like blue and green. Finally, Optical Blending’s lesson helped me show my idea of the effects of warming on the earth.
I’ve also shown the names of the lessons (principles) on my painting that show where I applied each concept on the painting
3- The required is:
a) write a paper of 600 words about this painting in which you must reflect each point the professor mentioned on my painting. you must follow the rubric carefully here.
