1. Elements & Principles (composition)- Provide the name of the artist and process (painting, drawing, printmaking, sculpture, etc.) and medium (paint, stone, paper) used to execute the piece. In what manner has the work been composed utilizing elements and principles? Identify and list some of the more predominant features that help convey the artwork’s overall presentation and emotional quality.

2. Context- Research the background of the artwork and provide information that informs regarding context/history.

3. Subjective vs. Objective (viewpoints)- Humans are critical creatures. Whenever we first see an artwork, we immediately use our own personal experiences and existing knowledge (subjective) to form opinions regarding beauty, worth, and meaning. It is human nature. However, the subjective viewpoint is often biased and limited, often leading us to uninformed critical judgments. To form insightful, well-rounded opinions, we must investigate what is before our eyes by researching the artwork’s background. This research (objective) is used to expand our knowledge and help substantiate our personal opinions or correct them to deliver sound, critical analysis. As you study your chosen artwork, take into account your first impressions. How does learning about the context of the piece change your initial thoughts about it? 2 pts 

4. Post your analysis (at least 150 words) to the discussion board as a well-thought address with the intent to inform and educate your reader. 

5. Comment upon “two other contributions” by offering your own views, points, and insights. This means adding to the existing dialogue, not merely agreeing with others.

Define malnutrition and identify a specific disease that can result from it.

Perform library research about the selected disease, and explain its physiological effects on a person’s body.

Describe the relationship between specific foods/nutrients and the disease. Use the questions below to guide your response.
Does research indicate that a lack of specific foods/nutrients increase a person’s chance of contracting the disease?
Are there specific foods/nutrients that should be avoided by an individual afflicted with the disease?
How do specific foods/nutrients work physiologically within the body to help combat the disease?

Rhetorical Essay Draft 1

October 22, 2020 Leave a comment English and Literature, MLA

Submit draft 1 of your rhetorical analysis essay here. Your draft does not need to have an intro paragraph (yet), but make sure that your essay at least has an underlined thesis statement with 3-4 distinct subpoints.

Your first draft needs to be at least 500 words. You should have an MLA header, heading, and title (Links to an external site.) (though the title can just be a placeholder for now). Your essay needs to have at least one body paragraph (i.e. your draft should not just be an introduction or conclusion). Each body paragraph should begin with a specific topic sentence.

Make sure your essay is structured according to the Outline for rhetorical analysis essay file on Canvas.

Keep in mind that your essay needs to include specific evidence (quotes from the speech). You then need to ANALYZE the evidence (see the outline on Canvas for analysis instructions).

If you would like feedback from me on your first draft, you should leave me a comment on your submission that asks me one or more SPECIFIC questions about your essay. Try to be more specific than (is this good? or am I on the right track?).  For example, you could ask me a question about your thesis statement, or about your analysis in body paragraph 2. Keep in mind that you can always get more in-depth help from me if you visit my office hours!

Ask yourself these questions as you analyze your speech:

What is the purpose of the speech?
Is the speech reacting to a particular historic or political moment? Research the context in which the speech was given. Consider exigence!
Who is the speechs intended audience? How can you tell?
Does the speaker use ethos, pathos, and/or logos? How does the use of these appeals inform the purpose of the speech?
What is the tone (optimistic, mournful, angry, etc.) of the speech? How is this tone well-suited for the occasion?
How is the speech delivered, and how does that delivery impact tone and affect the audience?
What impact do the visual elements of the speech have?
Is the speech intended to persuade, inform, etc? 
How does the rhetoric of the speech teach us about the values of the speaker, or the society in which they live? For example, what can we learn about Depression-era America from watching FDRs first inaugural address?
Does the speech contain figurative language? If so, what effect does it have?

poetry analysis

October 22, 2020 Leave a comment APA (edition "APA 6"), English and Literature

Your object is to consider how the later poet takes the first poem and transforms it.  Even an apparently irreverent version of the prior poem can, in its way, be loving and affectionate towards its original.  Does the later poem tease out meanings in the poem that inspired it?  Place those meanings in a new cultural context?  Does the poet want to make a point?  To what degree is the later poet writing an homagethat is, treating the original with honor and respect?  Or is the later poet in some way arguing with the earlier poet?
