    Before beginning this Art Journal, be sure to view the supplement Web Link The Amazing Impact of Land Art.

    This documentary looks into how we, as humans, are often attempting to beautify our natural surroundings in ways that reflect us. Culture, time, and materials are looked at, as many of these artworks span from different periods of human civilization.

    Journal Questions:

    Describe any cultural, visual, and/or scientific influences that pertain to 2 artworks featured in the film.

    Discuss how relevant your chosen artworks are by telling us how you have experienced their themes/ideas personally.

    Which artwork do you find harmonizes/beautifies nature the best? Explain why.

    Helpful Tips:

    What I’m looking for is critical thinking. If you provide a book report that regurgitates the facts from the film, you may get a max of 8.5 on the “original content”. As for “critical analysis”, that’s where critical thinking reigns supreme. Discuss how the themes or artworks are relevant today, or discuss elements of art/principles of design about your chosen works if all else fails. Cultural heritage plays a huge role, and this is not about when it was made but also why the artworks are still important today. Personal input/experience is great for this portion of the rubric.

    Avoid going to Google for answers to the questions or supporting information. The journal experience is about you telling me your very own thoughts that pertain to the questions while viewing the documentary film.

    Writing your Essay:

    Write a short essay that answers the above criteria in no more than 300 words.

    Going over the maximum word count will result in point deductions.

  • Ayad art presentation

    *** I live in San Diego, where the art piece should be.
    *** the submission should be in a link form

    Your Art Find is a video presentation. You will record yourselves talking/discussing a piece of art either on location or via voice over. Your presentation is worth 100 points.

    Find The Art You Will Discuss

    Find a public artwork that resides where all can see and is free to view and appreciate. Museums are also great places to discover an artwork for this project, but be aware of museum policies regarding recording while inside. Security will either tell you to stop, or escort you out. Art from your travels is fine, too. Just be sure that the photo you took of something while traveling is no older than a year or two.

    Step 1: Find a piece of art (public art is great as it’s free!). The art can be two or three – dimensional.

    Make sure the artwork is an original. Reproductions will not count, unfortunately.

    Examples of reproductions include:

    • A poster of a Van Gogh painting that hangs on your living room wall.
    • Da Vinci’s “Last Supper” that hangs in your living room or local church. This artwork resides in Santa Maria della Grazie in Italy. Unless you’ve visited and have actual pics, then you can use/discuss/present. Hopefully this clears up reproductions.

    Step 2: Record yourself talking about your chosen artwork.

    • Discuss what is so special about the piece to you.
    • Provide a visual analysis utilizing the Principles of Design and Elements of Art.
    • Be sure to discuss the medium/material of the artwork.
    • Use terminology that applies to the type of artwork you have chosen. It’s highly advisable that you research some terms.
    • Provide some information about the artist, and the art movement/s they are known to have participated in.
    • Don’t forget to tell me where the artwork is located.
    • Be sure to include good shots of the artwork that you are discussing. If you need to grab some extra images from online sources, do so, but be sure to include pictures of your very own to avoid deductions.
    • Remember that this is not a grade school style book report. Avoid making this entirely about where the artist was born, who they married, the name of their dog or cat, etc.
    • Avoid plagiarizing art historical information. If you are using anyone else’s words, research, information, etc., you must cite the source.
    • Just saying “according to so and so…” will help keep you out of trouble. Things look/sound suspicious when your presentation sounds like a dissertation for a PhD. I want to hear from you, not the AI generated information.

    Step 3: Provide me with a link that will enable me to see your presentation. The length of your presentation should be a minimum of 45 seconds, although I’m sure going over will be no problem. Be sure to submit your link in Canvas. My advice would be to use Youtube, Google Drive or any other platform that stores video material to store your presentation.

    For additional help in submitting your presentations through Canvas refer to this .

    Be creative! Have Fun!

    Some Advice:

    • Avoid making your presentation a lengthy, super selfie. There have been presentations that show me 2 seconds of the art, and 1 and a half minutes of face shot. Remember, I need to see the art!
    • Pretty faces are always nice, but I can’t grade your pretty face.
    • Take a nice pic of the art and do a voice over.
    • Avoid doing voice overs while your phone/device is pointed at your computer’s monitor. Using an image from your monitor gives me the impression that you didn’t really go forth and seek art.
    • Remember to provide a live link to your video. Youtube works great, as do other apps, including Canvas Studio.
    • Avoid PowerPoint presentations with audio attachments as they often are temperamental via audio files.
    • Check your settings on Youtube and Google Drive. Some settings will block my ability to view your video.

  • Narrative Topic Proposal

    Important Assignment Notes:

    • After reading all the resources posted in this module (Week 2 – Jan 19/22), follow the directions outlined in bold down below:
    • It is necessary for you to not only follow all the directions for this assignment, but also write about two potential topics because I will give feedback guiding you toward the topic with the most writing and narrative potential.
    • If you do not follow the instructions, not only will it be more difficult for me to direct you to a suitable topic for this unit, the writing process could be more difficult for you, if your topic is not best suited for narrative writing. Therefore, do read all the resources and give effort to developing a potential topic.
    • If you do not answer all the questions, you will not receive full credit.

    ~~~~~~

    It is time for us to dive deeper into the narrative writing process and begin drafting possible narrative topics for your essay.

    Brainstorm TWO potential topics and write a minimum of 160 words for each topic, explaining in detail:

    ** – To complete this assignment use: Template: Narrative Topic Proposal (it is listed in this module)

    • What the topic is
    • What is meaningful or interesting about it
    • What is the conflict of the story
    • The purpose of wanting to write about this topic
    • Is this a topic that can include sensory details?
    • Is this a topic suitable for narrative writing, meaning does it have all of the narrative arc components (will not accept basic yes or no response, explain how).

    Instructions

    Step 1: Formulate Your Topic Scope and Thesis Statement

    • Choose a debatable topic appropriate for an academic argumentative essay. You may choose any topic you wish, as long as the stance is arguable, and the supporting reasons are defensible with evidence.
    • Your topic should be current, appropriate for an academic context, and should have a focus suitable for a 68-page essay.
    • You can use the same topic from Touchstone 1.1 and 1.2, or you can choose a new topic. Either way, the topic you choose on this Touchstone is the one you will also need to use in Touchstones 2.2, 3.2, and 4.
    • Draft a clear, specific, and supportable working thesis that takes a stand on your topic.
    • Your working thesis should be a single focused sentence, framed as an actionable statement that takes a clear position on the research question and includes 34 main supporting points for holding that position.
    • Remember that your thesis establishes your papers main claim and previews the points or reasons that youll explore in the paper to support that claim.

    Review the tutorial on .

    Step 2: Create Your Outline

    Your detailed outline provides a map of your final argumentative research essay, including your key claims and the sources that support them. You might not have the five to seven required sources yet, and that is fine, but at least three credible sources are required at this stage. The outline is a way to organize your essay and determine which areas (e.g., your subclaims) will require researched evidence as support.

    • An outline gives you a blueprint for your paper that ensures you are staying focused and building a strong argument. Review the tutorials on and .
    • Organize your argument with a clear structure that includes:
    • Introduction and thesis statement
    • At least three main points, each with supporting subpoints
    • A conclusion that restates your thesis and wraps up your outline
    • As you research and create your outline, come back to add the main points of your argument to the thesis statement.

    Step 3: Answer the Reflection Questions

    At the end of your outline document, include a short paragraph (46 sentences each) answering:

    • What challenges did you face while narrowing your topic or writing your thesis?
    • How did outlining help clarify your thinking or your position?

    Step 4: Review and Submit

    • Review the rubric to confirm that you have met all the requirements of the Touchstone. Once you are happy with it, you can submit it as a Microsoft Word (.doc or .docx) file. Your submission must include your name, the name of the course, the date, and the title of your assignment.

    Good luck! This first step is your road map to a strong essay!
