Essay Instructions: 1-2 page Word document Details: Research and create a preparation outline in Microsoft Word for a 10-15 minute presentation in Unit 4 on a topic of personal interest (Mine will be on the sport of boxing and its history) as explained by your instructor. See the sample outline on pages 196?197 in your textbook for the outline format. Follow these steps to complete your assignment: Pick a topic of personal interest as explained by your instructor. Research information on this topic. Determine the purpose of your presentation. Your group and the instructor will be the intended audience. Organize your presentation ideas in a logical sequence for your purpose. Create an outline including an introduction, a substantial body with supporting material, and a conclusion. Include APA style citations and a list of references. Read Research and Outline Basics Demonstrate effective strategies and critical thinking skills in preparing presentations in a variety of delivery modes and team work. Demonstrate the critical communication competencies of style and content in the context of human interaction General Information: The title of Unit 2 is ?Researching the Topic.? This means that a minimum of three outside sources on the topic must be used. The research should support your personal experience. Even experts must be backed up by other experts. Follow these steps after you have completed the Unit 2 required reading, in your course textbook. The SIMSCORE for this project should be about 15 ? 20% to earn project points. All guidelines for the correct use of outside sources must be followed for the project to earn project points. Please read the required Chapters 11, 13 and 14 in the textbook. The optional ?sample outline on pages 196-197? can focus your thinking about the ?research? element of the presentation process. You must adapt your presentation to your actual audience, whom we have defined as a general audience comprised of your classmates and instructor with no specific knowledge of any specific topic. The project should NOT be aimed at an ?ideal audience.? Be sure to include personal experience stories and interesting anecdotes. A series of facts does not interest an audience the way that stories do. The Topic: The same topic will be used for the Unit 2 full-sentence outline, the Unit 3 PowerPoint [?PPT?] and the Unit 4 Live Presentation. The Unit 5 IP will analyze your Unit 4 Live Presentation. Fun, non-career-related topic: Choose a NON-CAREER-RELATED topic that will be of interest to your audience and instructor such as a hobby, sport, craft that you enjoy or a favorite place to visit, in other words, a fun topic! The Details: Unit 2 IP: A formal SINGLE SPACED full-sentence outline as demonstrated on pages 196-197 of the textbook is required. The References page must use the APA format rather than the MLA format that is use in the textbook. The sample full-sentence outline in the textbook at pages 196-197 shows that the required standard outline markers and indentations are these. The outline should be single spaced, NOT double spaced (the spacing below is correct): I. [Roman numeral]: Every ?I? must be followed by a II?: This is your first main point. A. [upper case letter]: This is a sub point. B. Every ?A? must be followed by a ?B? : This is a sub point. 1. [Arabic numeral]: This is a piece of support material. 2. Every ?1? must be followed by a ?2?: This is a piece of support material. a. [lower case letter]: This is a detail. b. Every ?a? must be followed by a ?b?: This is a detail. (Transition: Not only must an outline have a Roman numeral I, but it must have a Roman numeral II.) II. And so forth: This is your second main point. No other outline markers, including bullets or ?i. ii. iii.? should be used. Each marker must be followed by a full sentence rather than a question, a word, a phrase, a fragment or a paragraph. The basic outline rule that for every ?A/a? there must be a ?B/b? (and for every ?I/1? there must be a ?II/2?) must be followed. These outline guidelines are meant to ensure that sufficient development and support material are included. The Unit 2 IP DOES NOT require a PowerPoint. However, the full-sentence outline must contain sufficient material to create a 10 -12 slide PowerPoint for the Unit 3 IP. Be sure to include personal experience stories and interesting anecdotes. A series of facts does not interest an audience the way that stories do. Projects that do not use the format for an appropriate Full-sentence Outline will not earn full-sentence outline points.

Essay Instructions: George Bellows (1882?1925) was regarded as one of America's greatest artists when he died, at the age of forty-two, from a ruptured appendix. Bellows's early fame rested on his powerful depictions of boxing matches and gritty scenes of New York City's tenement life, but he also painted cityscapes, seascapes, war scenes, and portraits, and made illustrations and lithographs that addressed many of the social, political, and cultural issues of the day. Featuring some one hundred works from Bellows's extensive oeuvre, this landmark loan exhibition is the first comprehensive survey of the artist's career in nearly half a century. It invites the viewer to experience the dynamic and challenging decades of the early twentieth century through the eyes of a brilliant observer.

I WOULD LIKE TO ATTACH A PICTURE OF THE PIECE OF ART BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW TO ATTACH IT???? I WOULD LIKE FOR YOU TO WORK ON 'THE BOXING MATCH" EXHIBET IN NEW YORK CITY. HERE IS THE LINK

paper should have an introduction and a conclusion. Include the title information in a separate paragraph preceding your discussion of the piece.
You must use at least four sources. Research can come from the Internet and from books on art history, religion, and mythology. Please use at least two Internet sources for your paper.

DESCRIBE the piece. Look at it CAREFULLY. What do you see? Note all the details about the work. How would you describe it to a blind person, or to someone you were talking to on the phone, who can?t see it?

.ANALYZE the visual elements and design principles as you did in the short paper. Think about the relationship between form, content and subject matter in your analysis. This will be helpful in your 'interpretation' of the work. Your analysis should be based your own observations while viewing the work.

INTERPRETATION Follow your analysis with a subjective interpretation of the meaning of the work. How does the work make you feel? What do you think the content is? Go beyond ?I like it? or ?I don?t like it.?

RESEARCH the artist. Historical and biographical information on the artist often provides clues into a works context and its intended meaning.

VALUE JUDGEMENT. What do you think the artist's intentions were? Was this communicated? Does it have value? Can you recognize the aesthetic quality in the work?

THE FOLLOWING STEPS WILL HELP YOU WRITE THE PAPER.

Here is more of a guideline for approaching your paper. This is very similar to the process used by art critics. This is not an outline of your paper but you can use it if it helps. I hope it will help you think about the works of art you have selected in a more in-depth way.

A. Identification:
Note the title of the work, the date, the artist (if known), medium, and size.

B. Description: What do you see? As fully as possible, describe what you see.
- What medium is used? What is it made of?
- How big is it?
- Go into detail about what you see. Describe it as if you were helping a blind person ?see? it.
How would you describe it to someone who had never seen it?
- What subjects are represented.
- It can be helpful to begin looking at a work of art from the middle and work your way out.

C. Analysis: Describe the form of the work
Explain how visual elements and principles of design are used in the work. The terms in chapters 2, 3 & 4 will be very helpful. Go back and look at the chapter outlines or Short Paper assignment. Use them to:
- Describe the use of visual elements such as line, shape, color & space used in the pieces.
For example: In what way is it balanced? Is it asymmetrical or symmetrical. What is
emphasized? What seems to be the dominating visual element? Is it realistic or abstract?

D. Interpretation: What is the content of the work? What does it mean?
What do you think the artist was trying to communicate? How does the artist accomplish this through the use of form? This is an important part of analyzing a work of art, how form and content work together.



E. Research: Include historical information about the artist. Knowing about the artist?s history can provide interesting insights into his/her work and how the work reflects the time and culture.

F. Value Judgment: Does the piece have any value or worth?
What did you like about the work? Was it the form, content, or subject matter? Did it remind you of something that you have seen or experienced?
- How does it make you feel?
- How or why does it evoke these feelings?
- Rethink first description and go beyond ?I like it? or ?I don?t like it?
- What did the artist have in mind? Can you tell?
- Does the piece seem to have a certain level of insight into a subject matter?
- Does it seem inexhaustible? Is there enough interest to hold your attention? When something is
inexhaustible it calls us back again and again. Can you tell? Did the artist succeed?
