Impact On Development

/in /by

Reflect upon the community, culture, and media to which you were exposed as a child or an adolescent and then address the following:

  • Which specific aspect do you think had the biggest impact on your own development?
  • What did you learn from your cultural group and your community about who you are as an individual and where you fit in the world?
  • Consider your biggest impact area and do the following:
    • Explain how this area aligns with the research by incorporating information from at least two academic sources to support your statements and ideas. Academic sources could include your textbook, required readings for this module, or academic journal articles found in the Argosy University online library.
    • Who are the major proponents (theorists past or current) of your chosen impact and how did they reach these conclusions?
  • Ask two adults what had the most impact on them. Compare this data from their responses with your own experience and your research about prominent impacts.

Write a 3 page paper in Word format. Be sure to include separate title and reference pages. Apply APA standards to citation of sources, including use of in-text citations and full references. Academic sources could include academic journal articles online library.

Museum of Fine Arts, Houston 2) compare and contrast an Italian Renaissance painting with a Greek vase painting or Roman sculpture

Menil Collection, or MFAH 3) Modern and Contemporary art: compare and contrast a contemporary nonrepresentational artwork (i.e. Barnet Newman; Mark Rothko; Jackson Pollock; David Smith (sculpture or painting) with an early 20th century modern abstract artwork (i.e. Picasso; Matisse)

Instructor: S.Worley

Cultural context and artist’s biography (see museum label and museum catalogues of general collections located in museum bookstores and libraries):

 

  

Visual Elements: In taking notes on the various visual elements, be sure to relate them directly to the artist and style. In other words consider how the handling of paint (precise or loose brushwork) is characteristic of a specific artist’s style. Or is the abstraction and stylization or ideal and naturalistic representation of the human form characteristic of a particular region, style and culture?

Subject (who or what is represented):

   

Style (Abstract and Stylized or Realistic, Naturalistic, Ideal?):

   

Iconography (symbolism or narrative):

 

  

Form (shape or structure; 2 dimensional or 3 dimension):

   

Composition (arrangement of forms in space; balanced; symmetrical; asymmetrical)

   

Technique (handling of materials):

   

Line (contour; implied line of sight; thick; precise; broken):

   

Light (additive or natural; reflected; implied inside or outside the picture frame):

   

Color (value/tonality (light or dark) /hue (name) /saturation or intensity (relative purity)

   

Chiaroscuro (shading or modeling of form with dark and light):

   

Texture (quality of surface; rough, shiny, smooth):

   

Pattern:

   

Mass (bulk density):

   

Volume (space mass organizes):

   

Perspective (linear, aerial, estimated, vanishing point, orthogonals; creates the illusion space recedes into the distance on a 2D surface):

   

Foreshortening (figures represented at angles to the picture plane surface and literally shortened to create the illusion of 3-D and projection into space):

   

Proportion (relation of parts to the whole; i.e. Canon of ideal human proportions):

   

Scale (relative size relation between members of a group; hierarchy of scale: one figure is larger than the rest):

   

Time and Motion:

   

Emphasis and Focal Point:

   

Unity and Variety

   

Repetition and Rhythm

Elementray Mathematics: Teaching Geometry

/in /by

Prepare an activity involving a geometric manipulative designed to teach a geometric concept to an elementary school student. You can create your own activity or modify an existing activity; if you are modifying an existing activity, however, ensure your sources are properly cited.

Note: Local Campus students must prepare a 5- to 10-minute presentation demonstrating the activity for the class.

Create a handout including the following information:

  • A detailed description of your activity, which must include the application of the characteristics and properties of the chosen geometric shape
  • Instructions for conducting the activity
  • Materials needed

* Can be powerpoint or Word doc.
