    Hi everyone,

    I’m a mom of eight kids, babies all the way up to 17 years old. I’d like to see what you classmates might have to say about the art I’ve seen today on video games and online social media. Media has all categories down like movies/story telling, commercials/propaganda, music videos/poetry. But where I see modern art of today is from the social online culture.

    Back then, artists had ancient cultural art and renaissance to first inspire them, and when the world changed from war and industrialism, there was a pain and fear and anger driven voice in the new forms of art being introduced. Whether surrealism and abstraction was trying to bring attention to the unconscious mind or dadaism was trying to give a big middle finger to the world’s injustice, it was pretty ground breaking to say the least of those times. Putting shape and color to feelings and music or spiritual contact into a visual, to make objects with no true function but for display and inspiration, to create collages of political faces attached with the war machines they made; it was art with a message. It feels like to me, all I see online is abstraction art from every angle.

    First, lets just admit how out of control ‘fan-made’ art is, for those dopamine pleasure seekers. These artist are really trying to create their fantasies and ‘what if’ scenerios of their favorite characters or idols. But it shows how copying is a form of flattery.

    Next is I think, the really absurd brain rot, that I feel was first inspired by early online art of creepy pastas, they’re kind of like myth brought to life. But its really disturbing and sad to see these are the nightmares of our young generation. To name a few, Slenderman, sirenhead, skibbidi toilet, and every other brain rot popping up on YouTube, TikTok, and reddit. Its like a inherited nightmare and trauma that just keeps getting more and more twisted as the generations go on. Proof we all need a little therapy or a lot. Here is our form of surrealism and abstract.

    And of course we have to love our future young leaders, the ones who force the message to be seen through graffiti or protest art. That art always has some recognizable achievements we can all appreciate. Topics like racism, gender fluidity, right to personal beliefs, unusual lifestyles, and number one: unjustice. The punk rock of art, like dadaism.

    And lastly I’d like to mention, is the video game art. Art you can interact with, play within its dimensions, experience a confrontation so terrifying or embarrassing, and grow from it. Situations you would certainly avoid in real life, and hallucinations you can experience without the use of substance and harm on your body. That doesn’t mean its completely safe to put ourselves in these mind altering states. More surrealism and abstraction.

    But I feel I’ve made it very clear how modern art from back then, is sort of the same now but the part that makes our modern art different in this period, its not just the technology giving way and easy to use tools to make art, but it might be a little too strong on its impact on our minds today. So much and sometimes all at once, we move from one art onto the next without getting to really process what we’ve just gazed into before we set our eyes on the next imagination high.

    I truly feel art is so impressionable and influential, we don’t see the true power it holds and how unsupervised, the damage it can cause as well. Art is a power that needs to be reveranced with wisdom. It is a super power. Its the key to the display of our souls. Let us remember that. Lets try imagining things for the better and then give a blue print or show of that vision. Lets envision the hopes we all want in society and mankind to build towards in the future. I challenge you new artists, it is way too easy to make negative outcomes.

    Art can be too revealing and we accidentally put ourselves up for mock and shame. So maybe we should hold art closer to ourselves in a sacred and more intimate way, only those closest to us should have permission to see that hidden side of ourselves. I’m not saying what is hidden is bad, it could be beautiful too, but the world is a cruel place and that is exactly why we should try to make it less cruel. And I have to say be aware of this new changing world, AI can do much harm to our image and reputation. Discretion is advised, hide your face. You as a person is more valuable then the art we put out. Don’t let the world make you feel you have to earn recognition. We can make good profound changes in the world, without ever having to show our faces and names, be humble, let art build each other up, not break each other down. Art is a double edge sword, you may want to cut one way, but it could still cut another unintentionally. Behind every art, there’s an intention. Do not examine naively.

  • Peer Review #1: First Essay Draft

    For this peer review, you are going to provide peer review to your two of your classmates on their . Always think about it this way: how would you like people to provide feedback to you? Be critical but still supportive.

    You don’t submit anything here, this is so we can enter the points for your peer reviews. Sometimes Canvas seems like it isn’t wanting to let you comment on the papers within Canvas but you can download the paper and make comments on it so, if you do that, upload that paper with the comments using “attach file” and make a comment that just says “please see attachment.” OR you can make the comments directly in the comments box itself (i.e. write them out in there). Either option works. Nothing gets submitted here! To see how to find/access your peer reviews, please go to:

    I want you to engage with your peers in a supportive and generative manner. Think about how you like to receive feedback!

    You can make your comments directly on the draft itself (notice when you open it that it has controls at the top like a highlighter, comment bubble, etc.), comments in the comments box on the bottom right, or even write them out in something like a Word doc and attach that. If you do comments directly on the paper, please make a comment in the comments box noting this so that Canvas recognizes that youve done this (and removes the peer review from your to do).

    Please do the following:

    • Evaluate their introduction. Keep an eye out for an understanding of their topic, whether it has motivated the reader to read on, and gives a clear understanding of where theyre taking you. Is there a clear thesis? Do you understand what they are intended to write about?
    • Also, please provide comments as to what their topic brought to mind for you. All projects develop and evolve in some ways, so by providing your insight into this, it can aid your peers in seeing potentialities they had not yet. Especially since there is ongoing development in the writing, this can help others for editing/expansion.
    • Evaluate their literature review. How does it flow? Do the parts here continue the points from the thesis/introduction?
    • Look at their references. While I don’t expect you to know the literature on their topic, are there certain angles or resources that you think they might benefit from? For example, maybe you saw something on Pew or in a newspaper while you were searching for things on your own topic. Maybe you have a reference that they’d benefit from.

    Overall, be supportive. If you see something that needs development thats great and you should note that for them. Its also important to contextualize as this is a draft, so keep in mind that this is happening alongside them making a better/stronger paper so also give attention to what you think is done well, what you like, etc.

  • Social Science Question

    Same concept; here are the resources. The long text is a poem, I think, or something like that, idk.

    Edward Hopper, New York Movie 1939

    Great art is the outward expression of an inner life in the artist, and this inner life will result in his personal vision of the world. No amount of skillful invention can replace the essential element of imagination. One of the weaknesses of much abstract painting is the attempt to substitute the inventions of the human intellect for a private imaginative conception.

    The inner life of a human being is a vast and varied realm and does not concern itself alone with stimulating arrangements of color, form and design.

    The term life used in art is something not to be held in contempt, for it implies all of existence and the province of art is to react to it and not to shun it.

    Painting will have to deal more fully and less obliquely with life and nature’s phenomena before it can again become great.

    The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost

    Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
    And sorry I could not travel both
    And be one traveler, long I stood
    And looked down one as far as I could
    To where it bent in the undergrowth;

    Then took the other, as just as fair,
    And having perhaps the better claim,
    Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
    Though as for that the passing there
    Had worn them really about the same,

    And both that morning equally lay
    In leaves no step had trodden black.
    Oh, I kept the first for another day!
    Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
    I doubted if I should ever come back.

    I shall be telling this with a sigh
    Somewhere ages and ages hence:
    Two roads diverged in a wood, and I
    I took the one less traveled by,
    And that has made all the difference.

  • Evaluating experimental claims

    After reading and learning about sciencethe characteristics of experimental studies and their limitationsit is time to see if you can evaluate simple experiments and claims. Your goal is to identify well-thought-out experiments, as well as identify faulty experiments (i.e. those that contain potential sources of bias as well as those that do not conform to what we consider the qualities of good experimental design). Make sure you review the sections of your textbook dealing with the scientific method and critical thinking in preparation for this assignment.

    Action Items

    1. Review the key points and videos for this module.
    2. In a Word document, evaluate three of the following scenarios:
    3. Your newspaper reports the results of an experiment a student at Franklin University performed to test the effects of a special healthy diet on the cholesterol content of chicken eggs. The student obtained a total of 20 chickens from two different breeders. One half of the chickens were fed his special healthy diet while the other half were fed a diet of standard chicken feed. The student found that the eggs from the group of chickens fed the special healthy diet had lower levels of cholesterol when compared to the eggs from the other group (fed the standard diet). The student now wants to market his special healthy diet. Do you see any potential problems with this study? Please explain.
    4. Imagine that you are a researcher at a major environmental science university. You are considered a leading authority on a disease that is caused by a particular environmental problem and you have been studying it for the past 25 years. Because of this, a major pharmaceutical company hires you to help them determine whether a new drug they’re developing will cure this disease. Being busy with your own research, you ask a couple of your new graduate students to devise an experiment to test the potential effectiveness of the drug. The students quickly come up with an idea: they suggest that you treat 100 patients with the drug at two different dosages, and then follow the patients for a year to see how many recover. Do you think this is a good experiment? Why or why not?
    5. For years, representatives of the tobacco industry claimed that there was no proof that cigarette smoking caused cancer, despite the fact that more than 40 studies on people and numerous studies on lab animals showed a strong correlation between smoking and lung cancer. Most of the studies on humans correct for other factors that might cause lung cancer such as exposure to cancer-causing chemical pollutants in the workplace. Why did representatives from the tobacco industry claim there was no proof that smoking caused lung cancer? How would you have responded to their assertion? Can a study be devised to prove the connection? What critical thinking attributes are helpful in evaluating this scenario?
    6. Many people believe that subliminal tapes can enhance a person’s memory, self-esteem, concentration, and vocabulary. If you search the Internet, you will find what appears to be valid research that supports these beliefs. Psychologists decided to test this hypothesis. They gave one group of subjects a subliminal tape designed to improve memory. The other group received a tape that supposedly improved self-esteem. Each group was told the purpose of the tape. A month later, the researchers polled each group, and, sure enough, those who received the memory tape reported enhanced memory. Those who received the self-esteem tape reported higher self-esteem. Pretty convincing? What’s wrong with this conclusion?
    7. Many people believe in ESP, extrasensory perception, the ability to perceive things by a sense outside our conventional senses (hearing, seeing, etc.). Given you are curious about ESP, you decided to learn more and went to an organization specializing in ESP. When you arrived, you happened upon an experiment already underway. The experiment asked individuals to discern the shapes another person was looking at. That person, the sender, was supposed to concentrate on the shape while the other person, the receiver, was supposed to concentrate on the sender’s forehead and attempt to “sense” what the sender was viewing. The instructor told the group to identify 25 cards; individuals should correctly identify 5 out of 25 cards by chance. That’s because there is a one in five chance of guessing each card correctly. He went on to say that anyone who identifies 7 or more cards correctly has ESP. In the present group, three people correctly identified 8 cards in the first trial. Did these people really have ESP?
    8. Prepare your assignment for submission. Make sure to follow APA format, which requires in-text citations for all borrowed information as well as a list of references.

    Modern Art in North America from late 19th C to early 20th C

    Key Ideas:

    • Shift from European Art up to this time, artists wanting to move in the modern world of art went to Europe to study and to work. They looked to European artists for inspiration.
