Discuss the three value types that are most important in your life and explain how each value type is expressed by a specific work of art – with each work of art being a “Representative Work” from a different art discipline – using evaluative criticism.
Your essay must be 1250-1500 words long and should be written in multiple paragraphs, as follows:
Write one to two opening paragraphs [at least 250 words] in which you state the purpose of this essay (an introductory sentence) and explain which of the three value types that we have considered (individual, societal, religious, political, or environmental) are the most important in your human experience. Your discussion of your three chosen value types should include specific reasons why each of them is important in your life.
Write one to two paragraphs [at least 250 words] in which you state and discuss the ONE “Representative Work” that YOU believe best demonstrates the evaluative criticism standard of perfection in expressing your first value type. Be sure to justify how your chosen work does this, using relevant discipline-based vocabulary to discuss the quality of the work’s form. Your chosen work may be from any of the five artistic disciplines that we have studied in this course (visual art, architecture, literature, music, or performing art), though you may only discuss one work from this artistic discipline in your essay.
Write one to two paragraphs [at least 250 words] in which you state and discuss the ONE “Representative Work” that YOU believe best demonstrates the evaluative criticism standard of insight in expressing your second value type. Be sure to justify how your chosen work does this, using relevant discipline-based vocabulary to discuss the quality of the work’s content. Your chosen work may be from any of the five artistic disciplines that we have studied in this course (visual art, architecture, literature, music, or performing art), though it must be from a different artistic discipline than your previous work.
Write one to two paragraphs [at least 250 words] in which you state and discuss the ONE “Representative Work” that YOU believe best demonstrates the evaluative criticism standard of inexhaustibility in expressing your third value type. Be sure to justify how your chosen work does this, using relevant discipline-based vocabulary to discuss the strength of the work’s form and/or content. Your chosen work may be from any of the five artistic disciplines that we have studied in this course (visual art, architecture, literature, music, or performing art), though it must be from a different artistic discipline than your two previous works.
Write one to two closing paragraphs [at least 250 words] in which you discuss your opinion regarding art’s ability to express the human experience and/or its significance in doing so. For example, how well do you believe art expresses the human experience? Why? Do you believe that one art discipline does a better job at this than another art discipline? Why? Etc. Basically, there are no specific requirements for your conclusion, as long as you address the topic in a developed and meaningful fashion
