research paper

Write a four to six (4-6) page paper (1000-1,200 words) that responds to each of the items described in the topic. 

For the topic you choose:

1. Support your ideas with specific, illustrative examples. If there are questions or points associated with your chosen topic, be sure to answer all of the listed questions and address all of the items in that topic. If your topic asks you to do several things related to the topic, be sure to do each of the things listed.

2. While some of the topics tend to lend themselves toward particular writing genres, you are not restricted to the specific format suggested for the individual topic. For example, you may do an “interview,” a “proposal,” a “letter,” a “short story,” a “blog,” an “essay,” an “article,” or any other written genre for almost any of the topics. The project is intended to be fun as well as informative, so feel free to be creative with the delivery of your information.  

use at least 2 sources. 

the 2 topic is:

Office Art      Memo. Memorandum. Your boss, who knows      you’ve been taking a humanities class since he pays for your tuition      reimbursement, has tasked you with managing the art budget for your      company, expecting you to choose various pieces of art for the new      corporate offices.  (Note:      Replicas of the works are acceptable since they are more cost-efficient      and you are working on a budget.) Include the following: 

Identify       three examples of 19th century Impressionist painting or       sculpture and three Post-Impressionist works. Explain how the six       pieces of art fall into these two styles. 

In a memo,       describe the appearance of your six choices to your CEO so he or she will       know what the art looks like and where it would be placed in the       corporate offices. 

Explain why       each piece is considered to be historically significant. 

Explain how       each piece “fits” your company’s overall (or desired) corporate image.       Keep in mind that a piece of art is supposed to “say” something about the       owner, so describe what would these pieces of art say about your company.       

New      Composition. Speech. Your uncle’s birthday is      in two months, and everyone knows that he loves almost all kinds of music.      As a birthday gift for him, you want to have a special piece of music      composed in his honor which will be played at a family birthday      celebration. Write a speech that you will make to the composer’s agent.      Include the following: 

Narrow your choices down to three composers you’ve studied in       this course. Choose one of the composers and explain why you want him to       write the “birthday present” music. 

Explain why the other two composers were ultimately not selected.       

Specifically identify the musical elements in the composer’s       style that you would like to be included in the new music written for       your uncle. 

Describe what sort of emotion is generated by listening to the       works of your selected composer; in other words, what do you want your       uncle to “feel” as he hears the music, and why is this composer so       perfect for this composition?
