Thank you and here are the actual instructions for paper so you can make sure it meets criteria. Mini Analysis 2: Community, Political, and Social Change

Total Points: 150 | Length: 45 pages

Purpose of This Assignment

This second mini-analysis expands your focus beyond organizations alone and asks you to examine leadership effectiveness and change within broader community, political, and social contexts. You will analyze how leadership operates in complex systems where power, values, equity, and collective action shape outcomes.

Your analysis should be grounded primarily in:

• Hickman (2010), Chapters 612
• Noopila & Chacn, Chapters 612

Not all content from these chapters will apply directly, so part of your task is to discern what is most relevant to your chosen focus. You are strongly encouraged to explore examples involving nonprofits, community organizations, advocacy groups, or other organizations operating outside traditional government or for-profit sectors, as these often reveal leadership dynamics especially well.

Core Focus of the Paper

This assignment is not about finding right answers. Instead, it is about exploring leadership and change effectiveness broadly and thoughtfully. You are encouraged to draw from:

• Course readings
• Scholarly literature
• Personal or professional experience
• Class discussions

You have significant latitude in topic and scopethis is a space to experiment with ideas, frameworks, and analytical approaches while maintaining academic rigor.

Guiding Questions (Use as Idea Starters)

You do not need to answer all of these questions, but they may help shape your analysis:

• How do we know when change is working well?
• What barriers commonly emerge across organizations and communities?
• How can leadership effectiveness be measured in social, political, or community contexts?
• Who benefits from changeand who does not?

Content Instructions

• Select 34 leadership or change concepts from Parts III and IV of the Hickman text.
• For each concept, you must:
• Clearly introduce and explain the concept
• Integrate at least one scholarly, peer-reviewed source beyond the course texts
• Apply the concept to current or historical events, organizations, or leadership cases

Example (for illustration only):

A student might use Hickmans discussion of community leadership and empowermentincluding visible, hidden, and invisible power, or power over, to, with, and withinas a conceptual framework for analyzing leadership effectiveness within a nonprofit or community organization.

Research & Citation Requirements

• You must reference both course textbooks.
• You must include at least 3 additional scholarly, peer-reviewed sources beyond the textbooks.
• All sources must be cited using APA 7th edition in-text citations and listed on a properly formatted reference page.
• Google Scholar is an excellent resource for identifying appropriate academic literature.

Papers that do not meaningfully integrate course readings and scholarly sources will not receive a passing grade.

Formatting Requirements (APA 7th Edition Required)

Your paper must follow APA 7th edition guidelines for all formatting, including:

• APA 7 student title page
• 12-point Times New Roman (or APA-approved font)
• Double-spaced text
• 1-inch margins
• Page numbers
• Proper APA 7 in-text citations
• Properly formatted APA 7 reference page

Failure to adhere to APA 7th edition formatting and citation standards will result in point deductions.

Length

• 45 pages total (maximum 5 pages)
• Title page and reference page do not count toward the page limit

Paper Structure & Organization

A well-developed analytic structure is essential.

1. Introduction

Your introduction should:

• Establish interest and context
• Clearly identify your topic and focus
• Present a clear thesis statement (your main argument or purpose and why it matters)
• Preview how the paper is organized

2. Body of the Paper

• Each paragraph should begin with a strong mini-thesisa clear, analytical opening sentence.
• These sentences should:
• Advance your overall argument
• Present a defensible claim or position
• Stand on their own as meaningful ideas
• Support claims with evidence from course readings and scholarly sources.

3. Conclusion

• Summarize key insights from your analysis
• Reflect on leadership effectiveness and change outcomes
• Suggest implications for practice or future research

Final Notes

This assignment is designed to encourage intellectual curiosity and conceptual play, but that freedom must be paired with:

• Clear argumentation
• Strong structure
• Consistent engagement with course readings
• Strict adherence to APA 7th edition formatting

When done well, this paper should demonstrate your ability to analyze leadership and change in complex, real-world contexts that extend beyond formal organizations.

PART 1

NegativeComposite Shapes/ Positive/Negative

Part I: Make a silhouette comprised of two or more overlapping objects to create a unified, single, composite shape. Reduce elements to shape and value. Think positive and negative shapes and composition! Ink or acrylic will produce a crisp shape, charcoal creates a more dense mass and a more indefinite edge or use cut paper. Pay attention to the negative shapes. Composite shapes should depend on negative shapes to define them. Place the composite shape crop to the edge on at least two sides. Do not use a centralized shape completely surrounded by negative space. Not all shapes in drawing need to be immediately recognizable as objects from the real world. 18 x 24.

PartII: After you create one and submit to the discussion, enter a critique of a fellow students work by hitting reply to their work. Tell them what’s working in terms of balance, positive negative space, shapes and creativity. Examples: Is there too little or too much negative space or is it working well? Does it feel balanced or is it unbalanced? Which type of balance of the 4 types apply? What kind of shapes are they using?

PART 2-

SquareExpansion of a Square

Part I: Expansion of the Square

Notan is a Japanese design concept involving the play and placement of the light and dark elements as they are placed next to the other in the composition of art and imagery. Create from the square by expansion, a design of positive and negative twin shapes that reflect on another.

The mechanics of the assignment can best be understood by studying the two examples of symmetrical and asymmetrical designs. Each cutout of the design taken from the dark paper is folded outward ( or reversed) and pasted on the white paper along the base of its negative shape. The piece cut out remains in contact with its former space. You chose whether your square will be an Asymmetrical or Symmetrical design!

It will be impossible to cut a positive shape and ignore its negative twin. Do not cut into the corners of the square, but maintain the order of its shape. Consider the following steps:

• Establish a movement
• Find a pattern that you like and repeat it.
• Let one element predominate.
• Consider secondary movements, accents.
• Then watch what is left over.

Part II:

After you create one and submit to the discussion, enter a critique of at least 2 fellow students work by hitting reply to their work. Tell them what’s working in terms of balance, positive negative space and creativity. Examples: Is there too little or too much negative space or is it working well? Does it feel balanced or is it unbalanced? Which type of balance of the 4 types apply? What kind of shapes and or lines are being used?

PART 3

PlaneShape of Picture Plane

Choose a leaf.

On three different picture planes-so 3 finished designs;

1. a 6″ square,
2. a 4.5″ by 9″ rectangle,
3. and an 9″ diameter circle-

draw or cut the leaf out of paper. Your goal is to fit the image into the confines of the three different planes. Distortion, exaggeration, and cropping will help determine your compositional choices.

PART 4-

MeaningDiscussion Four: Visual Meaning

Visual Meaning

There are three main strategies for analyzing works of art: contextual theory, formal theory, and expressive theory. Last week you used expressive theory to discuss a work of art by relating it to the life of the artist. This week you will discuss a painting in terms of formal theory; in other words, you will analyze how the meaning a work of art is shaped by its visual characteristics.

In your post, please focus on a work of art by an artist discussed in this week’s reading. You can pick a work that is shown in your textbook or you can do a little research and choose something different. As you analyze the piece, please pay close attention to the formal choices made by the artist and consider the following questions:

• How is color used? What is the visual impact of the color? Does it seem to have visual or psychological meaning?

• What types of forms are evident in the work (organic, geometric, smooth, jagged, etc.)? How does this affect the way you experience the piece?

• Is there a visual rhythm created by the repetition of forms and lines? How would you describe it?

• Consider the composition: how does your eye move through the piece? What do you think is the focal point? How does the focal point relate to the meaning of the work as you interpret it?

This week I am not giving you a list of artists or specific works of art, but I encourage you to focus on a work that is associated with , Expressionism ( or ), or early abstraction. Your post should be about two paragraphs and should be submitted by Monday 3/2 at 11:59 PM. Two responses to other students should be submitted by Wednesday 3/4 at 11:59 PM. Once again, please include a picture in your post and links to your sources!
