Write a formal paper (800 words, minimum) to compare and contrast one of the assigned works of drama (by Glaspell, Beckett, Sophocles, OR Ibsen) and your choice of one other work in the arts and humanities (visual art, music, or a literary work that appears in Pike and Acosta’s [2014] textbook Literature ).
Choose two works that address a similar subject (See list of possible subjects addressed in the assigned dramas, below). Explain why you think the topic/subject is important to the playwright and the other author/artist/musician. But also address differences: As you interpret, how does each work provide similar or different perspectives, themes, messages, or context for the topic/subject? Using APA Style, cite the name(s) of author and report the year (Let’s just use “2014” for the drama in Pike and Acosta’s book) in every paragraph in which you summarize ideas/events or quote words from the chosen works. Your paper should try to use your own ideas only because you’ll get a chance in “Part 2” to draw comparisons and contrasts with one other published source’s “interpretation” in the Video Presentation Using GoReact). Of course, if you consult other sources and end up using their ideas in your paper, you must be sure to cite these sources properly using APA Style-Ask the instructor questions if needed. Remember, if you select a second work of poetry, drama, fiction, or essay, this work of literature must appear in Pike and Acosta’s textbook, Literature: A World of Writing (2014). You’ll be selecting one of the four listed dramas below, so here are some dominant topics in each one:

In exploring how we, as the viewer, derive meaning from art, we learned how scholars often frame their analyses in specific ideological criticisms. In this assignment, you will be doing the same. 
For your paper, you must match one of the following artworks with one of the following criticisms:
Formalist
Psychoanalytical 
Relational Aesthetics 
When selecting a criticism, make sure that you understand what makes that criticism unique. What is essential to that criticism? How do we see this with the artwork?
Once you have made your selections, you will write a paper analyzing your artwork, focusing on how the artwork exemplifies the criticism.
You must address the topics we usually address in your analyses (subject matter, formal qualities, subtext, symbolism). 
While your textbook does explain these ideologies well, you may benefit from doing some outside research. Below are three articles that may assist you. 
Art History Briefing: Formalism in Art 
Psychoanalytic Literary Criticism: An Overview (Although it is framed for literature, the concept is transferable to art)
Relational Aesthetics – Critique of Culture and Radical Research of Social Circumstance
Your paper should be 600-1,000 words, with 12-point font, double-spaced, and have a works cited page(the works cited page is not included in your word count requirement—you can use MLA, APA, or Chicago, but make it consistent throughout the whole paper).
Regarding citation in your work, if you are discussing a topic you learned from an article or the textbook, you need to cite it (regardless if you are quoting it or just paraphrasing—both on your works cited page and inside your paper itself). If you are referencing someone else’s ideas, you must translate them into your own words. Intentional or accidental—if you plagiarize—you will receive a 0. 
Be aware that I am asking for an analytical paper, not a descriptive or reflective paper. Your thoughts should be organized and not formatted as stream-of-consciousness (such as “I thought this, then realized this, etc.”).

Follow the criteria and instructions, it is a research paper blending arts and sociology as well as psychology. 

uses two or more of the four terms describing techniques developed during the Renaissance to create a visually naturalistic or realistic appearing image in the treatment of the figures and/or the overall space of the artwork’s composition. The terms: foreshortening, chiaroscuro, linear perspective and/or atmospheric perspective.
Start a discussion thread with the term(s) you will discuss in your post in the subject line.
In your thread, begin with a 2-3 sentence summary in which you state the artist and the name of the artwork then briefly summarize the content or subject matter depicted in this artwork. In brief, what does it depict? What is going on in the image and who appears and why? Use the artwork’s title to help establish this concisely. Then, in a few clear and complex sentences for each term, explain where we see evidence of the artist’s use and mastery of either foreshortening, chiaroscuro, linear perspective and/or atmospheric perspective in the appearance of this image. Explain where is it used and seen, being specific based on this individual artwork. Explain what the visual result is in the overall artwork including how this effects the space created within the artwork, the setting or location, and the appearance of the individual figures as a result of this technique being used. 
If more than two terms have been used in the creation of this image, explain all that are relevant. Try to find an artwork that exhibits use of all four techniques if you can! 
After your written content, insert the image of the artwork from the Met’s website into your discussion board post and include the artist’s name, the title of the artwork, its date and the medium/material information from the caption below the image for reference. Review how to insert an image from the Course Information and Syllabus tab, if necessary. Have all content within the body of your thread, not requiring additional links or pages.

Diane Arbus: Cruel or Kind?
Diane Arbus was a photographer who went from (in her early career) taking pictures of glamorous models for fashion magazines to taking pictures of “freaks” later in her career (little people, giants, transvestites, the mentally disabled.) This is the term she used, not mine. She committed suicide in 1971.
Do you think that she was “making ambassadors” of the “freaks” that she photographed, or was she being mean and exploitative? She said that she was “shining a light on people that society looks past.” Google her work, and look at the attached documents. Does her work look kind or cruel?
Minimum SIX paragraphs (6-7 sentences per paragraph), Times New Roman, black, double-spaced. Attach the links to your sources as URLs at the bottom of your paper.
Do not use A.I. to generate your paper in part or in whole. I run all discussion submissions through an A.I. detector; if you use A.I., it will result in a zero on the assignment with no chance to resubmit. Using AI also robs you of the opportunity to learn from your writing mistakes, which will only make your writing stronger through trial and error!
It’s OK if you are getting dates, names, or any outside information to reword and put into your paper; just be sure to copy and paste the URL addresses that you visit at the bottom of your paper. It lets me know that you are diligent about citing your sources.
Always be sure to meet (and exceed) my minimum writing requirement. Always have the specified number of paragraphs in distinct paragraphs, not as one big text with no breaks. Remember, just meeting the writing minimum is a C; it’s average. Try to go beyond it!
Do not copy and paste any information directly into your paper (it’s plagiarism and results in a zero grade with no chance to re-do), but rather put things into your own words, then cite the source (copy and paste the URL address) at the bottom of your paper. 
Don’t quote scholars too much in your work; I’d rather hear your take on what they said. Say: “According to whom?” and then reiterate what they said in your own words. After that, you can cite the source at the bottom of your paper (copy and paste the URL address).
List the artist, the date and the year of an artwork’s creation first.
Artwork titles, as well as movie titles and names of TV shows, appear in italics, not quotation marks, like so:
Artwork:
Jacques Louis David, Oath of the Horatii (1784)
Movie:
Steven Spielberg, Jaws (1975)
TV show (give the date range of how long it aired originally):
Joss Whedon, Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1997–2003)
You always date the artwork (or TV show or film that you are mentioning) the first time you talk about it to orient the reader, and then afterward you can just say Jaws or Oath of the Horatii, but it still remains in italics throughout your paper.

The paper is ready, but requires grammar and referencing check

Lines can also be used to create the illusion of three dimensional space. In art we call this perspective. There are lots of different types of perspective and we are going to briefly look at them all. The first is Flat Perspective. This is basically a piece of art that does not have an illusion of depth. The image does not look three dimensional. This is what most art looked like before perspective was discovered. A great example of this is The Unicorn Tapestries.

This project is based off of the American Artist Kehinde Wiley’s work. Wiley often takes old paintings and reworks them with modern subject. The process:
1) Pull up a full screen image of the painting you chose in the last assignment. this is the painting I chose. (Title: Self-Portrait with Death Playing the Fiddle
Creator: Arnold Böcklin) 2) After you have a nice drawing of the original painting then erase the head. ( it cb be an outline, e for effort type of deal) 3) Use the Loomis method we used last week to re-draw the head as your own portrait. Use a mirror or photo of yourself as reference. ( you can draw a brown skin woman with curly hair as me)
4) Make sure the drawing is fully colored. 5) Create a word doc with 3 images. One of the portrait you chose. One of you. Finally, an image of your fully drawn portrait with your head in it.
