Work in Naxos Music Library Web Player (database)
Documentary Video from Films on Demand (in Canvas)
Prompt
After studying each of the above pieces of music write a 250- to 300-word response in which you explain the value(s) expressed by FOUR of these works. Your response should be formatted in four succinct and detailed paragraphs, with each paragraph including a simple work title header (e.g., Johann Sebastian Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto No. 5 in D major), as follows:
HEADING/WORK ONE [Not included in word count]: State the artist’s name, properly-punctuated work title, and other relevant information for your chosen work. Please do not simply copy-and-paste this information from above, but retype it exactly as it is modeled. Then, skip a line before your paragraph.
PARAGRAPH/WORK ONE—INTERPRETIVE CRITICISM [50-75 words]: Based on the provided information about your chosen work—as well as your own thoughts and analysis—state and explain what value(s) you believe it expresses. Your explanation of how this work expresses the value(s) must consider how the work’s subject matter is transformed into content by its form (be specific!), while it may also consider its context (though you may not quote or paraphrase the provided material). In other words, what specifically about this work’s form gives it meaning and, as a result, allows it to express the stated value(s)? The most significant aspects of form in our study of music are melody, harmony, rhythm, timbre (tone color), and dynamics. Please remember that interpretive criticism should not include any evaluation of the work regarding its quality or your opinion about it.
SKIP a couple of lines after discussing your chosen work before your next work.
REPEAT the above instructions for your second, third, and fourth chosen works.
******When discussing pieces of music, do NOT mention any imagery that they inspire (e.g., no “I imagined running through a field of flowers” or “I pictured myself dancing in a ballroom”) or any cartoons/films that they remind you of (e.g., NO mention of Tom & Jerry or Disney films), unless specifically required by the prompt.******
Requirements
Your response must be based completely on YOUR analysis of this work, without any outside research or use of AI. For the sake of learning, you are encouraged to discuss a work with which you are not already familiar.
You may review any course material for this assignment, though your work must be completely your own and—unless stated above—may not include ideas from, quotations from, or paraphrases of such material.
After first stating a work’s information in your response, using proper punctuation, you should simply refer to it as “the work” or “Bach’s concerto” (for example) for the remainder of your discussion of the work.
Your response must be within this assignment’s word limits, meaning it must not be shorter than 250 words, nor longer than 300 words. Responses that are too short or too long will not be eligible to earn full credit.
Your response must be submitted as text in the provided text box. Responses submitted as file attachments rather than as text will not be graded and may not be resubmitted after the assignment closes.
You are encouraged to review the below grading rubric before beginning work on this assignment, as well as before submitting your response, in order to be as successful as possible on this Gordon Rule assignment.

CONTENT: – The rubric asks you to find a picture similar to the OJ Simpson one and perform your analysis. The bulk of your analysis right now is analyzing the OJ Simpson picture, which is not required. It’s okay to make some comparisons between the two pictures, but your focus for this essay should be on the picture of Trayvon Martin.
– It seems like the main ideologies you discuss is racism (perpetuating racial stereotypes) and victim-blaming. Be sure to explicitly list these in your thesis statement in the introduction paragraph.
– I suggest you remove the second paragraph about OJ and use a separate paragraph to discuss the physical characteristics of the Martin picture in more detail.
– Your third paragraph discussing the correlations between skin color and evil is good, perhaps you can apply the lens of that analysis to Martin’s picture instead.
– Your arguments can be clearer if you give some background about the incident surrounding Martin’s death. Is he the victim or is he guilty? How does his guilt/innocence perpetuate the racial stereotypes you discussed in the third paragraph?
– So the structure of your essay should follow as something like such:
o Intro: introduce the topic, thesis statement clearly stating which ideologies the picture represents
o Picture: discuss the visual components of the picture
o Analysis: background of the incident, how the picture perpetuates the ideologies (your current third paragraph), you can make comparisons with OJ pic here but don’t focus on that too much. You can have separate paragraphs for each ideology to analyze them more in-depth.
o Conclusion

After studying each of the above sculptures, write a 250- to 300-word response essay, structured in three distinct paragraphs (a heading is not needed for this assignment), as follows:
PARAGRAPH ONE—EVALUATIVE CRITICISM [75-100 words]: Which of the above sculptures would be your FIRST choice to include in the exhibit? Why? How did this work’s perfection, insight, and/or inexhaustibility help you select it? For example, do you believe that this work’s form and depiction of subject matter is particularly well-organized [standard of perfection]? Why? Do you believe that this work demonstrates especially-strong revealed subject matter (content) [standard of insight]? Why? Do you believe that this work lends itself to significant sustained participation [standard of inexhaustibility]? Why? Along with your discussion of this work’s quality, you may include your personal feelings about it as long as you justify such feelings using the standards of evaluative criticism (e.g., what do you really like about this work and why?). When selecting and discussing your chosen work, keep in mind that this exhibit is meant to represent the last few decades of the twentieth century through visual art, so the work’s context (as discussed in the provided article) should be considered in your decision. While you may make minimal reference to ideas from this article, you may not paraphrase or quote from it. Also, remember that all three types of art criticism—descriptive, interpretive, and evaluative—focus on the work’s form. The aspects of form most commonly associated with subject matter in sculpture are the elements of line, color, and texture, as well as their organizing principles.
PARAGRAPH TWO—EVALUATIVE CRITICISM [75-100 words]: Which of the above sculptures would be your SECOND choice to include in this exhibit? Why? How did this work’s perfection, insight, and/or inexhaustibility help you select it? For example, do you believe that this work’s form and depiction of subject matter is particularly well-organized [standard of perfection]? Why? Do you believe that this work demonstrates especially-strong revealed subject matter (content) [standard of insight]? Why? Do you believe that this work lends itself to significant sustained participation [standard of inexhaustibility]? Why? Along with your discussion of this work’s quality, you may include your personal feelings about it as long as you justify such feelings using the standards of evaluative criticism (e.g., what do you really like about this work and why?).

While you may make minimal reference to ideas from this article, you may not paraphrase or quote from it. Also, remember that all three types of art criticism—descriptive, interpretive, and evaluative—focus on the work’s form. The aspects of form most commonly associated with subject matter in sculpture are the elements of line, color, and texture, as well as their organizing principles.
PARAGRAPH THREE—EVALUATIVE CRITICISM [75-100 words]: Which of the above sculptures would you definitely NOT include in this exhibit? Why? How did this work’s perfection, insight, and/or inexhaustibility help you reject it? For example, do you believe that this work’s form and depiction of subject matter is particularly poorly-organized [standard of perfection]? Why? Do you believe that this work demonstrates especially-weak revealed subject matter (content) [standard of insight]? Why? Do you believe that this work lends itself to little sustained participation [standard of inexhaustibility]? Why? Along with your discussion of this work’s quality, you may include your personal feelings about it as long as you justify such feelings using the standards of evaluative criticism (e.g., what do you really dislike about this work and why?). When selecting and discussing your chosen work, keep in mind that this exhibit is meant to represent the last few decades of the twentieth century through visual art, so the work’s context (as discussed in the provided article) should be considered in your decision. While you may make minimal reference to ideas from this article, you may not paraphrase or quote from it.

OVERVIEW
This capstone project requires you to summarize, synthesize, and build upon course work in your undergraduate major area, resulting in a substantial research project. The entire course is designed as a step-by-step process in the formulation of a two-part capstone project consisting of an academic research paper and oral presentation. By completing this project, you will demonstrate your achievement of the learning outcomes associated with the Bachelor of Arts degree.
Topic is the long-term effects of machine learning and AI systems in the US economy. Include how those effects have and may alter society as we know it. The two sides to explore are those that are against the use of AI and those that are in agreement with the use of AI. I also want to touch on the reasons either side would have for their viewpoint. Make sure to mention the social and economic short and long term effects.
GENERAL PLAN
Each module outlined in the course is designed to help you develop the sections of your capstone project.
Module 1 requires you to identify a main topic. The academic research paper must be on a topic you have chosen to explore within your major area of study. In this module, you will identify and introduce the topic, providing reasons for this selection and its relevance to your life. You will also draft a problem statement, preliminary thesis statement, or opening hypothesis to research within the context of your topic.
Module 2 requires you to create an outline of your planned approach to help you think through how you will pursue your capstone project. This outline will not be included in the final capstone project. However, a second part to this assignment includes a narrative section surveying your research strategies, which will be included in the final compilation of your capstone project.
Module 3 is a review of the literature, strategically placed here in the course to allow you more time to do the necessary research. Your literature review is expected to cite at least 10 strong academic sources. However, you are expected to have at least 15 sources referenced in your final deliverable. The literature review seeks to contextualize your topic in the relevant literature and demonstrate the breadth of your own knowledge.
Module 4 is the last section of your final written project, comprising your discussions and conclusions. This is where you will analyze and interpret the arguments you have found in the literature and evaluate the significant theories and concepts related to your topic. This is the culmination of your research and requires you to show what you have learned and how your own informed critical analysis sheds light on the topic you have been studying.
Module 5 focuses on the oral presentation in which you will create, upload, and post an 8- to 10-minute video to share with classmates through a discussion forum. You will also submit this oral presentation for a grade by the end of the course. All requirements for this oral presentation portion of the capstone project are outlined below.
Module 6 is the conclusion of the course. You will compile and submit your final written academic research paper in standard academic format. All requirements for this written portion of the capstone project are outlined below.
INSTRUCTIONS

Discipline: liberal arts

please buy the book and follow the instructions. No ChatGPT or any kind of AI using. There is only hard copy for this book so put it on me and I’ll pay for the book.

i have an assignment it’s a powerpoint for art, i already have it done, i just revived feedback from the teacher so is it possible for you to apply that feedback?

this is a video that explains what’s required
i’m an HL student but there’s a part that she’s going to mention that says i have to compare the artists works with my own art works, you can skip this part because it’s not included
i basically just need to apply the feedback she wrote and any website u use make sure to include it in MLA format and the font for the whole PPT should be font size: 11 font: times new roman

Please review the paper’s guidelines found under my papers in the content section
PLEASE SUBMIT PAPER
