Writing Homework Help

In the final writing assessment for Art 101, you will be addressing 2 prompts. Please read each prompt and answer all parts of the prompt.

P1: Historical and Cultural Context (14 point)

Discuss the choice of all artworks and the eras or periods you made in your poster. Answer how each contributed to the accumulation of knowledge of Prehistoric to Gothic Art History. What was the justification you made to include them? Include theme, title, date/period, artist (if applicable).
(300-400 words)

The following Student Learning Outcome (SLO) for this course was used to create the prompt:
Demonstrate in writing an understanding of the historical and cultural contexts of the significant periods of Western Art, from prehistoric eras to the late 1300s, as major influences upon the creation of the art.

P2: Personal Meaning (6 points)

Identify 3 works of Art or Architecture and state facts you learned in this course about each. These works and facts must combine to create personal meaning for you. State what that personal meaning is with the context of the works and their information.

For example, “The church at St. Denis had personal meaning for me because I am an engineering major and the change in structure for a building was important to understanding the development of materials and their relative strengths.”

A second example: “The Lion Man sculpture which comes from the Paleolithic period and is perhaps an early example of religion has meaning for me because I am a double major of sociology and anthropology and I wish to study religions.”

A third example: “The Parthenon has significance, not only because it is one of the 10 great works of Architecture in the world, but my Grandmother was from Athens and as I’ve begun to learn about ancient Greece, I find a connection between the history of that great culture and my own heritage.”

Your source material should be the reading and videos for this class.

The following Student Learning Outcome (SLO) for this course was used to create the prompt:
Recognize the impact of one’s own cultural and personal value judgments in assessing the merits of artworks produced from the prehistoric to the late Gothic periods.
