This paper is NOT a biography, nor is it a summary of your topic's life and achievements,
BUT it is necessary to research and mention
· the medium (sculpture, paint, photography, etc.) this creative person works or worked in
· what his/her most significant works are
· what the major themes in his/her art are
· what life experiences had a significant effect on his/her life and artistic expression
· how the artist was affected by the era or society he/she lived in
·
The focus of your paper is HOW and WHY you think this person
· positively or negatively impacted, changed, affected, or inspired his or her artistic community
· has reached celebrity or notoriety status
· became immortalized through his/her art
·
The topic selections are located in Required Resources. If you are not familiar with many of the artists, now is the time to do some research on Google Images and take a look or listen to their achievements. If you don't like what you see, submit a topic of your choice.
Your topic selection is to be submitted for approval by the end of Week 5. I will post a thread asking for your topic in Week 5's Discussion Board. You may change your topic if you like, but you must let me know if you choose to do so.
This assignment in extended expository writing will expose you to another person's interpretation of life through his/her selected medium...paint, music, photography, buildings, etc. These artists communicated or communicate to us through their art...what a concept!
So, don't be overwhelmed. The key to getting this accomplished is selecting a topic you enjoy researching and learning about. Once that happens, the writing will come easily.
Not submitting this assignment will seriously affect your final grade since it is worth 30%.
Please make use of the online library and ASC resources.
. WARNING!!!! Don't even think of plagiarizing, cutting and pasting, or downloading papers....I am looking for specific information that is to be formulated by YOU, and tracing someone else's text is easy!!!!! So Don't Do It!
