PROMPTS

1. The theme of this course has been divided culture.  David Trend argued that culture helps to determine the boundaries by which a culture decides who belongs and who does not.  Agree or disagree with Trend's idea, by referencing at least three distinct assigned readings during the quarter.  Where such reference will make your argument stronger, you may also include relevant historical details or references to artwork.

2. Culture helps a people to transmit its values from one generation to the next. Art is an important means of conveying those values.  In a period of divided culture we might expect the art to reflect division about values.  In your essay, consider the role of art as described by Lippman in A Preface to Morality (Week 8 assigned reading).  Then highlight three pieces of art that you think manifest some disagreement regarding moral values. The works you select should not all be on the same issue! Be sure to explain the underlying context of each piece as well as the moral values you believe to be at stake.
