The Function of Art Objects

The Function of Art Objects

Some of the art objects created by the cultures surveyed this week served functional roles in their society. Using your course textbook locate three such objects, one each from the following: Islamic, Asian (Chinese or Japanese), and African.

 

First, completely identify each object you would like to discuss by listing its name, date, and location.

 

In a minimum of 2 well-developed paragraphs discuss:

 

What was the function of each object at the time of its creation?

 

What historical events or social or cultural influences affected the creation of each work?

 

How do the visual characteristics of each object contribute to or enhance our understanding of its meaning?

Be sure to explain your ideas clearly and support them by discussing specific details about each work.

 

Respond to both questions as thoroughly as possible, making sure to use information from the readings and the lectures. All responses should be in complete sentence form, using proper spelling and grammar.

 

As soon as possible, review and comment on the work of two of your peers.

Monumental Architecture and Sculpture

Monumental Architecture and Sculpture

The cultures we studied this week produced architecture, earthworks, and monumental sculpture, in addition to smaller works of art. Using your course textbook locate three examples of architecture, earthworks or monumental sculpture from three different cultures listed here: Islamic, Chinese, Japanese, or the Americas.

 

First, completely identify each structure or sculpture you would like to discuss by listing its name, date, and location.

 

In a minimum of 3 well-developed paragraphs address the following questions:

 

Who created each work of architecture or sculpture? Who commissioned its creation?

 

What historical events or social or cultural influences affected the creation of each work?

 

How do the visual characteristics of each work contribute to or enhance its message or meaning?

 

Be sure to explain your ideas clearly and support them by discussing specific details about each work of architecture or monumental sculpture.

Exhibition of World Art

Exhibition of World Art

Imagine you are a curator at your local city’s Museum of Art. You have been asked to organize a small exhibition of objects of art from the cultures of China, Japan, Africa, and the Americas; you will also showcase Islamic art. Your exhibition should include representative objects that highlight significant and essential ideas of each culture. You may plan to include actual objects in your exhibition, or photographs or models of larger structures or sculptures.

 

Survey your course textbook and reliable internet websites to locate two art objects from each of the following five cultures: China, Japan, Africa, the Americas, and Islam, that you would like to include in your exhibition. Your objects must date to the time period we are studying in this course (Prehistory -1300 CE). You will select a total of ten objects for display in your “Exhibition of World Art.”

 

Then, write a “museum label “for each object within a Microsoft Word document. The following should be on the “label” for each object:

A photograph of the object

 

Identifying information:

Name of the artist (if known—otherwise, attribute the culture) 

Title of the work

 

Date of the work

 

Medium/materials used to create the work

 

Current location  

A paragraph of 4-5 sentences describing why the object is representative of its culture and is culturally significant. Briefly explain why you have selected the object for display.

 

Finally, in a paragraph of 8-10 sentences, write a summarizing overview of your “Exhibition of World Art,” highlighting key similarities and distinctions between the objects you have curated. Imagine that visitors to your exhibition will read this overview as they enter your “Exhibition of World Art,” and provide them with any information or context they may need to fully appreciate the objects on display.

 

Offer a citation of your sources for each image and the information provided as appropriate.

 

Develop a COMPLETE learning plan

Develop a COMPLETE learning plan, including handouts, worksheets, appropriate links, standards, objectives, content, and assessments. Ues one of the templates posted on Blackboard, or one that is used in your major area or school district.  You are required to submit a draft copy for review.  By submitting this draft you will receive 20 points. After I review this draft I will return it to you with comments and an “as is” score between 0 and 60.  This score will appear as a “placeholder” in your final score for the course.  If it is high you may wish to keep it and do nothing morte to improve your score or you may improve upon it and resubmit it for a final review. 

 

Article Review 5 – Solid Waste Management or Occupational Health

Article Review 5 – Solid Waste Management or Occupational Health

A. Introduction

The purpose of the article review series is to get you think critically about the environmental and occupational exposure and health effects in secondary literature, that is either a peer-review article or professional paper. No news items are allowed. You are expected to choose your own article to review. Make sure to go over the review expectations (itemized in the “Task to Complete” below) before you decide on the choice of the article. When choosing your article, ensure your search includes some key words likely to help you narrow to the need of the assignment. For example: the review title – e.g. ‘solid waste management’, ‘occupational health’; ‘injuries’; ‘vermin’, solid waste vs. ambient air pollution’, ‘fall in the elderly’, ‘exposure’; ‘outcome’; ‘prevention’; ‘control’; or other technical words or phrases that will help you to discuss the points highlighted in the instruction below. Please visit the WKU Libraries for guidance. You are also advised to use the libraries’ search engines (https://libguides.wku.edu/publichealth) for peer-review articles that are already purchased by the university.

 

This Article Review is focus on either Solid Waste Management OR Occupational Health. You have to decide and focus on one. You SHOULD NOT DO both solid waste management and occupational health.

 

B. Task to Complete:

I will be looking for three (3) things when I grade the paper:

 

1. Bibliographic information

 

· Make this the title of your review. The title structure will vary slightly based on the article format chosen. Please refer to the following examples for guidance.

 

i. Peer-review Article: Last Name, First Name. (Year). “Title of Article”. Title of Journal. Volume (Number): Page spread (e.g. 15-26).

 

ii. Technical Report: Name of Agency. (Year). “Title of Article”. Name of publisher.

 

iii. Book Chapter: Last Name, First Name. (Year). “Title of Chapter”. Title of Book. Editor First Name Last Name. City of Publication: Page spread (e.g. 15-26).

 

2. Brief summary of the article. Summarize the main points the author(s) discussed. Be sure to briefly answer the following questions. A sentence or two each will often be adequate.

 

· What factors affect poor solid waste management, or how does poorly managed solid waste contribute to ambient air pollution, etc. On occupational health, what are the major occupational health injuries and illnesses; which industries or sectors carries the numbers? Be sure to name a at least one condition or disease.

 

· How can the population be exposed to such contaminants/pollutants or affected by the hazards?

 

· How can the effect on the population (or affected individuals) be controlled or minimized?

 

3. Detail analysis of the article. This is the most important part of the exercise and most of the mark will be allocated to this section.

 

· You need to expand on the points discussed in 2 above but in a rather more detail fashion.

 

· You need to show that you have critically think about the article by arguing out the strengths and limitations of the article.

 

· Detail analysis of the population effects especially to children/vulnerable population/minority (where applicable)

 

· Discuss the prevention strategies – poor solid waste management or occupational hazards, and at population levels.

 

C. Final Product

The final product for this exercise is one (1) page written Word document that addressing the points in the ‘Tasks to Complete’, above. Please turn your work through the Article Review 5- link in Blackboard.
