What is the value of
studying the humanities in a business or technical curriculum? How might a
topic such as ancient art enhance contemporary life?
dq 2

Choose a work of art
from the reading in Chapter 1. Discuss how the work is a reflection of the
ancient culture that created it. Also, did anything particularly surprise or
impress you about the work of art or the ancient people who created it?

Greek
and Roman Architectural Influences (graded)
|
The architecture of
the Greeks and Romans has influenced people for centuries. When the founding
fathers of America began to design Washington, DC, how were they influenced by
the Greeks and Romans?
dq 2

Greek
and Roman Advancements (graded)
|
Ancient peoples were
often much more advanced than modern people understand. Choose one example of a
Greek or Roman advancement that improved their societies. How did this
advancement affect the culture of the Greeks or Romans? Has this advancement
evolved and is it in use,in some capacity, in the modern world?

Theater
(graded)
|
This week, we took a
brief look at Shakespeare’s The Tempest(see the Assignments section). This five-act play opens with a
storm at sea (a tempest) and throughout, Shakespeare has planted allusions to
apparitions and magic, such as the character Ariel who, at times, appears to be
invisible to the other characters. It is a given that the special effects, such
as those often used in films, to actually give the stage the appearance of a
deadly tempest or actually make Ariel an invisible presence are not achievable
on the stage. To fill in this gap, audiences suspend disbelief.
In this thread, let’s
discuss the power and limitations of theatrical imagination. Please feel free
to draw from productions you have seen. (The old high school productions count,
too!) Why are we willing to suspend disbelief when we see a play, yet we demand
so much more from a film production? Do you think that the limitation on
special effects and alternative demand on the audience member to suspend
disbelief is a weakness or a strength of the theatrical experience? Would you
rather see The Tempeston
stage or in film? Why?

Allegory
and Art (graded)
|
This week, we are
exploring the items below.
·
Excerpt from Beowulf
(also available as an audio in the lecture)
Act II Scene I from
Shakespeare’s The Tempest
This week, we have
looked at several works of art that utilized allegorical themes. One of the
most common uses of imagery in the medieval and Renaissance periods is
allegory. What is an allegory? Describe how at least one of the examples of art
in this week’s lecture or one of this week’s readings is allegorical in nature.
Why, in your opinion, was allegory so prevalent during these periods? Is it
still important in contemporary literature? Why or why not?

Enlightenment
and Industrial Revolution (graded)
|
Given the information
from this week’s reading on the Enlightenment, the New Rationalism, and the
Scientific Revolution, how did advancements in science and reasoning change the
lives of people at this time? In addition, what effects did the Industrial
Revolution have on the world?

Is there a
relationship between movements such as realism and impressionism and the
camera?
dq 2

Realism
and Impressionism (graded)
|
For this week’s
discussion, choose realism or impressionism as a basis for your posts and
discuss how your choice is manifested in any area of the humanities (i.e.,
painting, sculpture, literature, music, etc.), and give an example from any
discipline in the humanities to illustrate how realism or impressionism influenced
the work of art. Please be sure to give an analysis of how the work of art was
influenced by the movement.

Art
and Politics (graded)
|
This week, we looked
at several examples of early modernist art such as Cubism, Fauvism, futurism,
and expressionism. Let’s discuss the relationships between these aesthetic
categories and the sociopolitical climate of the period.
How did the
sociopolitical climate of the time period, including the two world wars, influence
artists?
dq 2
|
Feminism
and Literature (graded)
|
\
Let’s connect the
themes of the three readings and the lecture for this week to talk about how
the ways feminist literature has influenced contemporary thinking?
In your first post,
share what you see the main themes or issues that were important the writer of
at least one of the following feminist works:
The Outsideby
Susan Glaspell (audio available in the lecture)
A Societyby
Virginia Woolf
The Solitude of Selfby Elizabeth Cady Stanton
Be sure to reference
the specific elements of at least one of the readings or audio in your

Controversial
Art and Censorship (graded)
|
Although controversial
art is not a topic exclusive to the 20th century, the distribution of
information regarding controversial art has increased with the proliferation of
media. Please discuss an example of a 20th century controversial work of art
from any discipline of the humanities (music, literature, sculpture, film,
etc.) and an accompanying statement from the artist(s). Based on your example,
to what extent does controversial art make a social contribution? Are
governments ever justified in censoring art?
dq 2

Pop
Art (graded)
|
What were some of the
influences of the pop art phenomenon? Should we consider the creative elements
of popular culture, which are very often mass produced works of art?
DeVry HUMN303 Week 2 to 8 Course Projects
Guidelines
These Guidelines give
you broad descriptions. Details regarding your assignments can be found in
supplemental samples and documents in Doc Sharing.
Your final grade
includes points accumulated for your
·
discussions;
·
proposal;
·
a two-part annotated
bibliography;
·
a draft; and
·
a final paper.
The following are
guidelines to assist you in completing the course successfully.
Guidelines for Discussions (350 points): Please do not merely cut, paste, and
attribute in the discussions. For every idea you paraphrase or lines you quote,
you must have at least two lines of your own original analysis, evaluation, or
personal connection. Learning the humanities is not about finding information;
it is about engaging originally and authentically with what you are reading.
Posts that achieve quality measures, have gravitas, density, add value to the
discussion, make connections, show effort, and enrich peers. It is important,
also, to read your professor’s and peers’ posts so that your own posts are on
task and not merely locked on the top-level questions.
Guidelines for the Proposal(100 points): A proposal offers a detailed and full
description of your project (as best you know it at the time of writing) in no
more than 2 pages. To succeed, students will need to find at least one source
of information related to their topics. Students may work with their professors
to identify areas of inquiry or may accept a topic and focus from the list.
Understand that you are making a best effort to describe your project early on,
but allow yourself to be open to growth and change as you conduct research and
focus your intentions.
Guidelines for the Two-Part Annotated Bibliography (75 and 125
points): Good annotations
make for excellent papers. You are required to annotate two academic scholarly
resources in Week 3 and three additional resources in Week 3 for a total of
five. A scholarly resource is written by an academic scholar, holding a Ph.D.
or other terminal degree, is published in a multi-volume, peer-reviewed
journal, and has ample references of its own. Successful annotations begin with
your introduction (to the best extent you know it at that point in time),
capture publication details, briefly summarize a text, locate key terms, find controversies
to analyze and evaluate, and assist in the creation of new knowledge.
Guidelines for the Draft (150 points): Your draft should be a largely finished
product, impeccably formatted, and nearly complete. It should have all the APA
citation and referencing fully in place. In length, it should be five-to-seven
pages.
Guidelines for the Final Paper (200 points): The essay must be nine to ten double-spaced
pages in length (not including the title or reference pages). The margins
should be no more than one inch (right and left). The essay should be composed
in 12-point Times New Roman font. Include a minimum of five scholarly sources.
Other sources may also be used, but at least five sources must be academic and
scholarly. Dictionaries, encyclopedias, websites ending with the .gov, .org, or
.edu, newspapers or other media sources do not constitute scholarship. All of
the sources must be documented and cited using APA format.
Suggested Topics of Investigation
Here are suggested
topics, which you may elect to use or not use. If you wish to work outside of
these suggestions, be sure to clear your project with your professor.
·
Compare and contrast
society during the early Renaissance in Europe to contemporary society
·
Compare and contrast
human understanding of the nature of revenge prior to and after the creation ofHamlet
·
Analyze the themes,
imagery or interpretation of The Waste Land and describe how one or more of these are
found in contemporary society
·
Evaluate the work of
Artemisia Gentileschi Renaissance Artist and interpret why she is considered an
early feminist
·
Analyze views of
women’s reproductive solutions in the 19th Century and interpret their
historical and contemporary impact.
·
Distinguish the
essential differences between the major thought of Plato and Aristotle and use
the information to illustrate the impact of philosophy on contemporary views on
a given them (life, freedom, power, equality, and more)
·
Examine views of
warfare and battle throughout the ages and provide an interpretation that explains
the evolution of the faceless war
·
Analyze the impact of
the Industrial Age and the rise of of capitalism and discuss the key features
of both and their influence on contemporary society
·
Investigate the
history of slavery and discuss the ways in which this history impacts
contemporary society
Milestones
Please refer to the Guidelines above for descriptions and to Doc
Sharing for assignments and samples located there.
Discussions (350 points)
Students may earn up
to 350 points for posted discussion. While 6 posts (3 for each graded topic) on
3 separate days are required minimallyto meet the frequency and quantity requirement, students should
strive during this course to post with quality, effort, expansiveness, and add
value to the discussion and their peers. Full points are given to those who not
only meet the frequency and quantity expectations, but who also demonstrate
excellence in original thinking, critical thinking, making connections that add
value to the discussion, and demonstrating insight into the readings and the
materials under discussion.Unoriginal posts (cut/paste/attribute) with no original analysis
do not receive quality points; and plagiarism is an academic integrity issue.Discussions are due
Weeks 1–7.
Proposal (100 points)
Following your
proposal and full set of annotations, you will be ready to plan your paper. A
proposal of 2 pages regarding your intended project is due. Quality proposals
will use at least one academic source to inspire a strong and original point of
view. The highest points are conferred for originality, the locating and
detailing of controversies, and for nuanced papers that sensitively explore
topics.This is due Week 2.
Annotations (Part I and II, 75 and 125 points)
In week three you have
two annotations due, and in week four, you have three annotations due. Each of
your annotations should be approximately 200–250 words.These are due Weeks 3
