Relationship between chosen works and culture of origin/ Custom Essay
Tweak and add the last part of the project to this essay.
Overview:-
Throughout history, humans have represented certain shared themes visually and through the written word. The purpose of this final project is to explore the representation of such shared themes across time and culture. You will consider the persistence of such themes through the ages. To do this, you will employ a comparative approach.
A primary method in the study of the humanities, a comparative approach allows us to reflect on a singular element and observe both the similarities and the differences. In employing a comparative approach, we begin to ask the questions necessary to come to an understanding of the objects being compared and the conditions/circumstances of their creation. We learn that each object is a product of its environment and its social, historical, and cultural climate.
The final project for this course is the creation of an essay. You will utilize the comparative approach to study two works of art, one visual and one literary, and a common theme they share. This will help you come to an understanding of the meaning conveyed in these works. Finally, you will locate the shared theme in contemporary culture, whether in a work of art, a work of literature, a film, a marketing campaign, or a social construct (e.g., reality television or social media).
Doing this will demonstrate how certain themes resonate with various cultures, and it will highlight the persistence of shared themes across time.
The project is divided into two milestones, which will be submitted at different points in the course to scaffold learning and ensure a quality final submission.
These milestones will be submitted in Modules Three and Five. The completed final project will be submitted in Module Seven.
In this assignment, demonstrate your mastery of the following course outcomes:
Prompt:-
The purpose of this project is to evaluate your knowledge of the skills necessary for performing a visual and contextual analysis of two works, one visual and one literary, and to measure your application of these techniques as you relate the works chosen to real-world relevance, popular culture, ideas, or concepts.
Refer to this list of suggested works of art and their shared themes from which to choose a topic for your essay. You will be required to identify the shared theme in the works you choose. You will develop an essay that explores how each presents the theme, both in terms of similarities and differences. Finally, you will be required to identify a modern or contemporary representation of that theme in popular culture and discuss how the contemporary example reflects the influence of those that came before it.
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:
I. Introduction
A. For each work, identify the author/artist, the name or title of the work, the date, the cultural origin or period of creation, and the current
location or physical setting.
B. What is your main argument/idea about the relationship between your selected works and their shared theme?
II. Historical Background
A. What is the relationship between each of your chosen works and culture of origin?
B. How did cultural traditions and ideologies influence/shape the two works you have selected? Use examples to support your response.
III. Similarities/Differences
A. In what similar ways do your selected artist and author approach the shared theme found in their respective works? Provide specific examples to support your response.
B. In what different ways do your selected artist and author approach the shared theme found in their respective works? Provide specific examples to support your response.
C. How does each work express its specific cultural and historical setting? Provide specific examples to support your response.
D. How have the similarities and differences you identified come to represent the culture in which these works were created? Provide specific
examples to support your response.
IV. Modern Influence
A. What impacts or influence have your two selected works had on a modern or contemporary expression of the identified shared theme?
B. How has each work continued to influence or define contemporary culture? Use examples to support your response.
C. What can we learn today from the works selected and their culture, taking into consideration the idea that history tends to repeat itself?
Provide specific examples to support your response.
D. Identify examples of modern and contemporary events or ideals that echo the theme of the works you have selected to discuss. Provide a
rationale for your choices. For example, Ajax and Achilles Playing a Dice Game illustrates two soldiers as they compete in a dice game and
mentally prepare for war. Based on this, one could ask, “How do we prepare today’s military for battle both physically and mentally?”
E. How have the works you selected come to serve as archetypes for the theme you have identified as a commonality? Provide examples to
support your response.
F. What parallels do you see between the contemporary world and the culture that produced the works you selected?
V. Conclusion
Your conclusion should reiterate your thesis and summarize the main arguments of your essay concerning the similarities and differences between the two works of your choice and their relevance today.
Milestones
Milestone One: Draft of Introduction (Section I)
In Module Three, you will submit a draft of your final essay’s introduction. First, choose a pair of works from the list of suggested comparisons. For each work, identify the author/artist, the name or title of the work, the date, the cultural origin or period of creation, and the current location or physical setting. Then formulate an argument or idea about the relationship between these works and their shared theme. You may think of this as the thesis statement, used to guide the direction of your essay. The components of this milestone will serve as the skeletal framework of your essay and help you develop the rest of the required elements. This milestone will be graded with the Milestone One Rubric.
Milestone Two: Rough Draft (Sections I, II, III, and IV)
In Module Five, you will submit a rough draft of your essay. Incorporate Milestone One with the rest of the required elements from the final project document in the form of a rough draft of your essay. (This submission will not include your conclusion, which you will submit as part of your final project in Module Seven.)
Use the feedback given on Milestone One to form a thorough introduction. This draft should be as detailed as possible, addressing each of the following major headings: Introduction, Historical Background, Similarities/Differences, and Modern Influence.
Final Project Submission: Essay
In Module Seven, you will submit your essay. For this submission, you will develop your conclusion (Section V) and combine it with Sections I through IV, revised to incorporate feedback gained throughout the course. You will also apply knowledge you gained throughout the course, including feedback from the discussion assignments and any relevant and valuable feedback you may have gained from your peers’ posts and/or responses.
