Purpose

The critical analysis essay will be based on one of the essays students have read thus far in the course or on a piece the instructor chooses. Write an essay that identifies and discusses one or two nonfiction elements that are most essential to the reading selection from our reading in Module 4/Learning Unit 4 Reading..

First, identify the nonfiction form from the class reading in Module 2 that is most important in the selection, One way to analyze the piece through the lens of sense of place is to imagine how the selection would be different without the form. Use the following information to help structure the essay. Remember you must use an essay from our book and you must cite the book, which is located in BiblU Tab on the left of your screen. You will use page numbers from the book for your citations. You may not use web addresses for the essay from somewhere. The book must be used. You may not use a work that is not in our book. If you do you will receive a 0 on the assignment. (You may request approval in advance to use something else that is a nonfiction essay, but I need to review and approve that at least 5 days before the assignment is due.)

Instructions

First, identify the nonfiction elementfor example, characterizationthat is most important in the selection. Next, explain why that element is important and whether the element had a positive or negative impact on the narrative and thus the reader. Use the following information to help structure the essay.

Introduction

In the first paragraph, identify the essays title and author. The opening paragraph must provide a broad, but accurate, synopsis of the selected essay as well as a clearly defined thesis statement. In the critical analysis essay thesis statement, identify the one or two nonfiction elements to discuss in the body paragraphs. Also, the thesis statement should clarify how the nonfiction elements impact the narrative.

Body Paragraphs

If writing about one nonfiction element, each body paragraph should provide an in-depth analysis of closely related examples of that element. If writing about two nonfiction elements, make sure to present a balanced exploration of both (e.g., two paragraphs of approximately the same length for each element). As supporting evidence, provide appropriate and sufficient direct quotations, paraphrases, and/or summaries, properly cited. Each paragraph should also include a combination of summary and analysis. Finally, if there is mention of a secondary character or related plot point that is not listed in the opening-paragraph synopsis, briefly explain this character or plot point.

Remember that when writing about literature, refer to actions and events that take place in the present tense. For example, instead of writing “The main character wanted to go to Bolivia,” write “The main character wants to go to Bolivia.”

Conclusion

The closing paragraph should restate the main idea discussed in the essay but should not repeat the language in the introduction or body paragraphs verbatim. The conclusion is the final opportunity to make a lasting impression on the reader. Think about excellent books or movies that have memorable endings. What characteristics make those endings memorable? Do the final words or images leave a question in audiences mind? Do they prompt one to action? A strong conclusion resonates with the reader, casting a net beyond the confines of the text to make a statement or observation about the larger world.

Planning Worksheet: Critical Analysis Essay

Directions

Before starting the critical analysis essay, complete the planning worksheet and submit it to the

instructor according to the instructor guidelines.

1. Your introduction should include both the title and authors name (first and last name, e.g.,

Michael Wolff) of the essay you will analyze. Write or type this information.

2. List the one or two nonfiction elements you will discuss in your essay.

3. Write or type your working thesis statement.

4. If you chose two nonfiction forms, list the order in which you intend to discuss them.

5. List at least three examples from the essay that you will use in your essay.

Representations of the Human Body in Art

Artistic representations of the human body have been a timeless source of inspiration, reflecting cultural aesthetics, societal norms, and individual creativity. This assignment challenges you to delve into the diverse ways the body has been portrayed in art, both historically and in contemporary contexts. Through thorough research and creative reflection, you will not only analyze various approaches to body representation but also envision your own artistic interpretation.

The final project will be presented as a well-researched PowerPoint presentation. Scholarly research is an important component of this project.

Directions:

Pick ONE of these following themes and find artwork:

• Beauty and Aesthetics: Explore the concept of beauty as represented through the human body and how cultural ideals have shaped artistic portrayals of physical attractiveness.
• Body in Photography and Digital Art: Analyze how digital media and photography have influenced the representation of the body in art.
• Human Body in Religious Context: Analyze the representation of the body in religious art, highlighting the significance of religious beliefs and rituals in shaping these depictions.

Utilize at least five scholarly sources that align with your chosen theme. Keep in mind that you will be focusing your research around a minimum of five artists/artworks. Use your textbook and course material for inspiration. Avoid simple Internet searches and Wikipedia entries.

Effective primary sources include:

• Artist’s statements
• Interviews with the artist
• Manuscripts, correspondence, and reviews written at the time that exhibitions of the artist’s work were held
• Artists’ own accounts of their life and work: autobiographies, memoirs, and oral histories recorded later

Effective secondary sources include interpretations and analyses of primary sources by someone else, such as:

• Reference books (dictionaries of art, encyclopedias)
• Books by scholars
• Scholarly journal articles
• Book reviews
• Museum websites*

The Internet is a rich source of information, but you need to be very careful to evaluate the legitimacy of the sites. In general, websites are unreliable if it is unclear who wrote the information or what contributors’ qualifications are. Many of the great museums around the world have their own websites, however, which are excellent and trustworthy sources of fascinating information. These websites are generally considered secondary sources, but may include primary source information, too.

Once you have done your research, you need to pull it all together to present a coherent interpretation of the artwork that shows that you understand the content and context. This interpretation should include your own opinion, carefully developed by considering your research findings. The strongest interpretations of an artwork combine the viewer’s formal analysis, factual evidence from primary and secondary sources, and support from the work of specialists who know about the topics being covered.

SLIDE INFO:

Create a PowerPoint (PPT) Presentation using the following guidelines to present your research.

You may choose to use other presentation applications other than PPT, such as Google Slides, or

, but if you do, you must save and submit your final work as a text-based PDF document in order to receive credit.

Slide 1: Title Slide

• Your title slide should include a captivating title that reflects your chosen theme.
• Also include your name and date.

Slide 2: Defining the Theme

• Write a concise explanation of your chosen theme. Introduce the artists and their cultural contexts.
• Provide an explanation of how this theme offers a unique perspective on body representation in art.

Slides 3-12: Artwork Analysis

• Present and analyze at least five artworks by at least five different artists that exemplify your chosen theme.
• Use your textbook and course material for ideas on where to start.
• Your chosen artworks should have two dedicated slides each as follows:
• An image slide which includes a high quality image of the artwork and its basic identifying information (artist name, title, date, medium, dimensions, and location if known). You may include detail images or alternative views.
• A separate slide where you discuss in a researched statement how the artwork reflects your theme and contributes to the discourse of body representation in art. Also consider how the artists choice of materials and/or processes may be relevant or meaningful.
• Remember, you will do the above for each artwork, so this section should be 10 slides (5 image slides and 5 researched statement slides).

Slide 13: Comparative Analysis

In a separate written statement (300 words minimum) you will compare and contrast the artists in terms of their interpretation of the theme. Identify common threads and variations in their approaches. Support your claims with research and informed examples/ideas, and draw upon concepts, terms, and approaches learned in class.

Slide 14 (or more slides as needed): Artwork Proposal

After conducting your research, you will now get a chance to think creatively and propose an imagined artwork where you envision your own representation of the body. This could be a self-portrait, but it does not have to be.

Do not worry if you are not artistically inclined! You are not expected to create an actual finished art piece; it is merely a proposal.

• Concepts: Describe the concepts and theme of your envisioned work. What emotions or messages are important to convey?
• Inspiration: Share what inspired your idea. Did the research influence your concept? Keep in mind that your artwork proposal does not have to relate directly to the artists or theme you chose for the main part of your research project. However, in your statement, you should make thoughtful connections to your artists and/or theme, whether this be through comparison or contrast.
• Details: What materials/medium would you use? Consider and explain the scale, location, style, and subject matter. Be specific and as vividly descriptive as possible, demonstrating an understanding of course concepts. Would it be figurative or would you represent the body (yourself if a self-portrait) through other ways?
• Visual Representation: Include any simple sketches, diagram, images, or visuals that may aid in the depiction of your proposed artwork. If you don’t want to sketch, you could include found images or a digital collage that may assist in helping to visualize your idea.

A fun part of this proposal is that since you are not actually expected to complete the work, you are not constricted by location, scale, or cost of materials!

Final Slide: Works Cited (References)

• On the final slide, include a properly formatted full reference list.
