Here are the 3 images I have chosen;
Write part 3, the exhibition review
Go to Ann Arbor Art Center (Photography): http://www.annarborartcenter.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/ART-NOW-Photo-2020_Exhibition-Catalog.pdf
This assignment is about looking at images and involves critical thinking, creating a review of an exhibition, and making some art yourself! Looking, in this context, is really about seeing: you will describe, interpret, evaluate, and theorize. Ask yourself questions such as: What is here? What is this about? How good is this? Is it art and why? Follow up your visit and review by making some of your own images inspired by your museum exhibit selections.
Part 1: Take a walk through all of the photography exhibits.  ( I ALREADY DID THIS STEP AND CHOSED THE 3 IMAGES)
Part 2: Write Up, 3 images: Pick 3 (from any exhibit) and record your personal reactions to the images selected in your own words. Remember, its about seeing photographs; refer to purpose above. Look at design elements that went into creating the composition, the subject matter, the photographic process used, any message or story, the scale of the photograph, whether its color or BW, etc. Detect any other technical evidence used to make this image. Make notes describing the work: Give the artist and title, the medium, size, subject matter/content, design elements (light/dark, line, shape, texture, pattern, color, tonality, contrast). How do the images you chose relate to one another? What is the concept in these images?  Why does the work resonate with you?
Please address all of the prompt questions above. If the online gallery does not provide information about the artist or images, please look up that information elsewhere BUT MAKE SURE YOU CITE. First, come up with your own conclusions and see if they align with or contradict the artist’s message.
Here is the title for the 3 images I have chosen; please click on the link and go to the online exhibit and escrow down for the pictures, just look for the titles.

Part 3: Write Up, Exhibition Review
Use the same exhibition above (one cohesive set of images). Talk about the overall look of the exhibition youve chosen. Is the work sequenced well (how do images relate to one another and what is the flow like)? Are there enough photos or too many? Is there enough text information or not? Do some photos depend on the text to give them meaning? How do you like the overall gallery look?  What is the concept of this exhibition? Does it successfully represent its title?

how Joan might prepare for her difficult conversation with Larry

/in /by

A couple of days after the family fight in the The Gift story, Larry spends hours into the night hesitating and thinking about the prospect of losing both his parents support and the financial rewards of being the new owner of the family business. He finally gives in and reluctantly accepts his parents gift without consulting with Joan, his fiance. Upon hearing the news, Joan is hurt, furious, and hopelessly disappointed at Larry to the point of reconsidering her upcoming marriage with him. A few hours later, she calls her best friend, Aisha, who for having taken Dr. Rofougarans course on negotiation and conflict resolution recently, tells her about the class discussions, Difficult Conversations, Beyond Reason, and the The Seven Elements of Integrative Negotiation. Joan borrows and reads both books avidly and she spends a few hours thinking about possible ways to use the tools provided by those sources to talk with Larry. Empowered by the new light shed on resolving conflicts, she decides to use the insights she has gained in order to negotiate a way out of the impasse. Please, write an essay explaining how Joan might prepare for her difficult conversation with Larry.

Scenario:
Larry, a 26-year-old man, and his fiance, Joan, visit his parents for Christmas. Larrys parents, Jack and Alice, have met Joan before and like her very much. Generally, it is a positive situation all around. They all get along fine.

During the dinner, Jack announces, We have a big gift for you this Christmas!
You do? says Larry suspiciously.
We want to entrust the business to you, Larry and Joan, Jack replies proudly, and have you move to Billings and run it!
Larry gasping for air, says: Oh, uh, thanks.
I dont think that would work for the two of us, Joan says.
Alice becomes nervous. She says: More pie, Larry? and Joan, would you like some more turkey? Alice continues to fill the silence with: Jack, what do you think about this new gravy?

And a family fight follows.

What is your vision?

/in /by

If there is one thing that separates leaders from managers (and there are many), it would have to be ‘vision’.  Managers are tasked with implementing a plan of action.  Leaders “create compelling visions that guide people’s behavior.” (Northouse, chapter 7).  But what is vision?  According to Northouse ), “it creates a picture of a future that is better than the status quo, …represents a change in the status quo, …is about the values…that people find worthwhile, …provides a map…that gives direction, …and challenges people to transcend the status quo to do something to benefit others.”

To understand the role vision plays in your life, we will explore your vision for your life, how to develop vision and how you can act on it.  First, complete the Leadership Vision Questionnaire (attached).  Next answer the following questions.  Be sure to number your responses (i.e. do not write your paper in a narrative form).  Do not include the questions in your paper.  Be sure to support your answers using concepts (citations) from the text or other sources.  Link your reactions to the text citing the referenced page. Of course, papers should be organized, thorough, with proper sentence structure.

QUESTIONS

1) Stephen Covey (1991) contended that effective leaders begin with the end in mind (p. 42). These leaders have a deep understanding of their own goals and mission in life. How would you describe your own values and purpose in life? In what way is your leadership style/philosophy  influenced by these values?
2) Creating a vision usually involves trying to change others by persuading them to accept different values and/or different ways of doing things. Are you comfortable influencing people in this way? Give an example of a time when you have persuaded others to accept different values or different ways of doing things. How were you able to influence this change?  Use what you have learned so far about leadership skills, behaviors, traits, etc to explain your influence.
3) Analyze your score on the Leadership Vision Questionnaire and use it to assess your ability to create a vision for a group. Identify two specific ways you could improve your abilities to create and carry out visions with others.
4) Write a brief vision statement describing your vision for your life.  Next, identify the parts of your vision: a picture, a change, your values, a map and a challenge to yourself.  Be sure to read Guide to Writing Vision Statements to assist you in constructing your vision statement.
