Term Paper Idea

In this week's module you will be submitting your term paper proposal.

You will be deciding which

American Modern or Postmodern artist(s) (20th century) you would l

ike to analyze in your term paper.

Use this forum to discuss and share your choice with your classmates, and receive feedback to help

structure your Term Paper Outline due next week.

To form a thesis, ask yourself a question about the subject. (i.e. How di

d Warhol use popular imagery to

critique mass consumerism in America?

How did Jungian psychology influence the paintings of Jackson

Pollock? What is the significance of Georgia O’Keeffe’s transition to skull and bone paintings?) Be

creative and have fun w

ith this. Consult the text for major artists studied in this course and do not be

afraid to choose an artist that we've not yet covered.

In this discussion board, tell us:

1.

Which artist you're considering.

2.

Which of their works you're considering for review

(name at least 2)

3.

What is the general thesis of your paper?

(remember this should be an 'exploratory

idea')

Please respond to the initial question by day 5 and be sure to post two additional times to peers and/or instructor by day 7.

The initial post by day 5 should be 75 to 150 words, but may go longer depending on the topic.

If you use an

y source outside

of your own thoughts, you should reference that source.

Include solid grammar, punctuation, sentence structure, and

spelling.
