Engagement and participation are important aspects of any college course. For this online course your engagement and participation are partly determined by your presence on the Discussion Boards.

As mentioned in the syllabus, each of the three Contextual Analysis Discussions gets progressively more complex as your skills increase. For this second Contextual Analysis Discussion, you should make at least one original contextual analysis post and two comments to other posts for each module. Posts should be in full, grammatically correct sentences that create at least one solid response of at least 900 words–make sure you include a word count. The word count does NOT include any headers or references section. All posts must be relevant to the assigned materials (although you may build upon previous knowledge from earlier weeks and include personal observations). Start by answering the prompt, and then build upon the prompt to consider your own perspectives and experiences. You MUST attach photos and web links to support your position. An important part of your grade for this assignment is to communicate with your classmates. Because this is intended to be your opportunity to discuss topics with your classmates, the professor/TA will generally refrain from commenting or actively participating in the discussions aside from reading and grading them.

Each of the two comments should be at least 300 words (include a word count) on two different classmates’ posts each module to receive full credit.

Posts: For this post, select one work of art (architecture, literature, music) that has NOT been already analyzed or extensively discussed in the course readings or videos…part of the fun in learning about art is in DISCOVERING it! You are required to make one post to conduct both a formal and contextual analysis or your chosen work. Then, you will compare it to the work you selected in Module 1 AND to any other work in Module 1 that was analyzed by another student in this class. This will give you THREE works to discuss in this assignment:

• One work of art you select from the mediums we discussed in this module (architecture, literature, or music) in which you conduct a formal and contextual analysis with social angles.
• You then compare the work you chose in this module (architecture, literature, or music) with the work you chose in module 1 (two-dimensional art or three-dimensional art). This comparison will be a brief compare/contrast/ways of seeing between the two works.
• Last, you compare the work you chose in this module to any other work analyzed in module 1 by a peer. Again, this comparison will be a brief compare/contrast/ways of seeing between the two works.

This process expands your skills of doing a contextual analysis by comparing works to each other.

In a narrative format, the post should contain the following elements:

• Define and Identify: Brief information about the artist and work. For example, birth/death dates, place of birth or work, where work is displayed, name of work, medium of work, context for creation of work.
• Experience and Appreciation: For example, where you found the work (website, another book, museum), what made you select the work, what about this work speaks to you.
• Observe and Analyze: Use and underline three terms that were introduced in the module to observe/analyze your chosen work. Add any other relevant information to improve your paper.
• Critique and Compare: Compare your work to similar pieces or to examples used in the book. Consider the impact of the work on a particular social angle and/or the evolution of the media. Consider the impact of experiencing the work on your general outlook on the medium or appreciation of art.
• Apply Social Angles AND Context: Identify at least one social angle from the list below that can be observed or analyzed as part of the work. Address how the social angle is connected to the work. Plus, a thorough contextual analysis of the historical, cultural, and social implications should be discussed.
  • race and ethnicity,
  • gender and sexuality,
  • class and highbrow/low,
  • colonialism, postcolonialism, place and regionalism,
  • nature (environment, ecology) and culture,
  • memory, history, generational identity,
  • food culture, and
  • body and mind

Students will be expected to define, identify, and apply at least three terms (underline them so I can quickly find them) from the module in the post. Make sure to underline the terms so that I can quickly identify them. College-level writing and mechanics are expected; however, the purpose of this assignment is to move from experiencing art to analyzing art to evaluating art. Make sure to include a references section at the end of every post, even if you only cite the lecture video. All in-text citations and references should be in MLA.

Comments: For each of the two comments, select a classmate’s post, read the post, critique the post, indicate your reaction to the chosen work, discuss a comparison work from the module or any other outside source that is similar to the work identified in the post, and either add personal commentary or pose a question to stimulate conversation.

EXAMPLES: These are”A” grade examples from previous semesters.

• EXAMPLE 1
• EXAMPLE 2
• EXAMPLE 3

Discussion Board Grading: (Note: while the total number of points you can earn is the same in all contextual analysis discussion assignments for this class, the percentage weight of each assignment towards your final grade increases.)

Original Posts—30 points possible per module: Student has actively connected with the materials and has made a thoughtful and engaging post that considers multiple perspectives in relation to the readings and videos. Correct grammar, spelling, and sentence structure are utilized, as well as direct references to the course materials and an image of the selected work. It is crucial that you cite or reference some material from the class at least once during each original post to earn full credit. Minimum of 900 words per original post. Indicate your word count at the end of your post (example: “Word Count: 553”).

Comments—20 points possible per module (10 points per comment): Student stimulates the conversation and has made a thoughtful comment that is directly related to the original post. Correct grammar, spelling, and sentence structure are utilized, as well as direct references to the course materials. Minimum of 300 words per comment. Indicate your word count at the end of your post (example: “Word Count: 283”).

Topic

A Fact Sheet is a short (1-2 pages) report, using facts, graphics, bullets, etc. to inform and persuade in a neutral/objective tone and with the help of visual aids. Fact sheets communicate quickly specific points and information, strongly relying on logos. In short, they are simple arguments using a combination of visual and text written and targeted at a specific audience (girls, boys, parents, voters, young, old) or a wide range, a general audience, of readers.

For this project, you will do some additional research on your topic, finding EXPERT sources to establish your ethos (scholarly journals, respected organizations, government agencies, books by noted professionals), thus shedding a new, more factual light on the social issue of your choice.

You can format the Fact Sheet any way you’d like. However, you do need to use footnotes (see Canvas for help with this). You can use subheadings to separate your facts, a T-chart to compare two different ideas about your social issue, a flow chart, any format that you think will be most effective in conveying your argument. You will NOT, however, comment on any of the facts. The facts should speak for themselves and point the reader to your social issue and your stance. Please see Canvas for the death penalty and handwashing examples.

Criteria for this project:

• a 1-2-page Fact Sheet (depending on your layout)
• at least 6 professional sources
• reports on your social issue
• uses text written in columns, pictures, graphs, boxes, etc.,
• carefully employs elements of visual design (such as colors, fonts, etc.),
• and uses Chicago Style Footnotes to Cite ANY
• Fact
• Idea
• Data
• Opinion
• Concepts

1. Happiness

Do you agree with Henry David Thoreau’s quote, “Happiness is like a butterfly; the more you chase it, the more it will elude you, but if you turn your attention to other things, it will come and sit softly on your shoulder”?

Can this relate to how much money you make? If you make more than $75,000 per year, will you be happier?
