SEE assignment

Writing About Art

After exploring the links on the right, choose ONE to write about using ONE of the course Writing Styles.  Note to self- you are required to experiment with a DIFFERENT WRITING STYLE for each written sample you turn in in the SEE module.  If the minimum requirements of LABELING your written sample are not met, the rubric for grading will not apply. It is assumed you will compose each writing sample in your word editor such as Microsoft Word or Google Docs, then copy and paste them, one by one, into the assignment area. 

FLASH, Shockwave, Quicktime or Windows Media Player are minimum technical standards for viewing. If one of the links on the right doesn't open for you, just move on to another in the list because you only choose one to write about Who Makes Art? What is Art.

How do I begin?

1. First, view all the possible choices in the list on the right, simply for fun and pure pleasure. 

2. Second, decide which one you want to write about (to dig deeper by writing about it). 

3. Third, use the artwork as a jumping off place for one of the five writing styles.
