Art, Literature, and the Humanities Order Description Introduction: “Knowledgeable interaction with works of art makes life better: We see more of what can be seen, and we hear more of what can be heard. Our entire existence grows richer and deeper.” (Sporre, 2009, p. 2). From your studies, you have seen how culture, societal norms, belief systems, and past experiences affect the way people view the world. Learning about these differences in perspective helps us to have a better understanding of the overall human experience. Whether analytical skills are applied to a task at work, or a humanistic point of view enables us to grasp an issue from another angle, these methods of looking at the world help us become more aware of our perceptions and provide a deeper and more meaningful existence. In this task, you will analyze and interpret three creative works from three separate disciplines of the humanities using methods of subjective and objective analysis. Objective statements are based on simple observations and concrete information. Subjective statements are based on personal opinions, judgments, and feelings. These standard methods of analysis will enable you to critically view and interpret works from the humanities. You will use analytical and critical thinking skills to assess how meaning is constructed and imparted to a viewer or audience and will communicate your thoughts in a multimedia presentation (e.g., PowerPoint, Keynote). While the content of your presentation will focus on analyzing, interpreting, comparing, and contrasting three creative works from separate disciplines, your overarching goal will be to explain how the three works you analyze demonstrate the value of the humanities in meaningful ways. Background: Develop a multimedia presentation in which you analyze three creative works from three separate disciplines in the humanities. You will need to select works that share a common theme. This theme must relate to a profession within your field of study at ESSAY. You will share with your audience how being knowledgeable about the humanities and your selected theme is valuable in regards to this profession. First you must choose one literary work from the given list below. Choose a literary work that has a theme that resonates with you and consider how this theme connects with your chosen profession. Every profession within your field of study at ESSAY (Business, IT, Nursing or Teaching) will have humanistic considerations. For example, a civil rights lawyer may be concerned with the theme of freedom, a firefighter with determination, a social worker with compassion, or an engineer with integrity. It is the intent of this task to explore the major themes of the humanities and their relevance to our professional lives. Once you have selected a literary work, you will need to select two non-literary works from separate disciplines that share the same theme as the literary work you have selected. Your presentation will show how all three works connect to the theme that you have chosen, and how that theme relates to a profession within your field of study at ESSAY. The two nonliterary works you select must come from the following disciplines: two-dimensional visual art (e.g., painting, photography, printmaking,), music or film (feature films, documentaries). You should choose works that appeal to you personally, are striking to you in some way, and/or evoke a strong response in you. In the presentation, you will show how exploration of the themes of these works can enhance performance in your profession and deepen your understanding of the human experience. Note: Your multimedia presentation should contain 25 to 30 slides. This is not a conventional PowerPoint presentation. You may find that the majority of your slides are most effectively presented in paragraph form, with some utilizing the more traditional bullet point format. You are encouraged to use first person narrative (“I” statements) where appropriate. Your presentation should be self contained and all information should be on the slides (do not use speaker notes). Arrange slides in a way that creates cohesion and flow and use images to accentuate and substantiate points. Note: This presentation should demonstrate the depth of the analysis and reflection that you have done. Your challenge will be to communicate your points through a series of clear, focused, and concise slides that represent your knowledge and convey your unique analytical points and insights. Select ONE work of literature from the following list (works are available online). NOVELLAS: Death of Ivan Ilyich by Leo Tolstoy, 1886 The Invisible Man by H. G.

Select two creative works from the following disciplines (each work must be from a different discipline): • Two-dimensional visual art (e.g., painting, photography, or printmaking) • Music • Film (feature film or documentary) Note: Please do not select a film, artistic, or musical adaptation of your literary choice as one of the non-literary creative works. While it is important to select a literary work and two non-literary works that share a common theme, it is equally important to include variety in your choices. For example, you should not choose The Great Gatsby as your literary work and a film adaptation of this same novel, and a picture of Jay Gatsby. Task: Develop a multimedia presentation (suggested length of 25-30 slides) in which you do the following: A. Introduce the three works from three different disciplines you will be analyzing (suggested length of 4–5 slides) by doing the following: 1. Create an introductory slide for each of the three works that includes the author’s or artist’s name, title of the work, and the discipline to which the work belongs. 2. Provide a thesis slide that identifies the common theme that connects all three of your works and describe how this theme relates to a profession within your field of study. B. Provide an objective analysis* (suggested length of 6-7 slides) by doing the following: 1. Describe the literary work. Your description should include: • Form (short story, novel, etc.) • Summary of the work (4-5 sentences) a. Choose four of the elements of literature outlined in Module 1.09 of the learning resource and describe how they are used in the literary work. Exclude mood and theme from your description of the elements. Mood and theme will be assessed in Part C. 2. Describe the first nonliterary work of art.

Order Description

Introduction:

“Knowledgeable interaction with works of art makes life better: We see more of what can be seen, and we hear more of what can be heard. Our entire existence grows

richer and deeper.” (Sporre, 2009, p. 2).

From your studies, you have seen how culture, societal norms, belief systems, and past experiences affect the way people view the world. Learning about these

differences in perspective helps us to have a better understanding of the overall human experience. Whether analytical skills are applied to a task at work, or a

humanistic point of view enables us to grasp an issue from another angle, these methods of looking at the world help us become more aware of our perceptions and

provide a deeper and more meaningful existence.

In this task, you will analyze and interpret three creative works from three separate disciplines of the humanities using methods of subjective and objective analysis.

Objective statements are based on simple observations and concrete information. Subjective statements are based on personal opinions, judgments, and feelings. These

standard methods of analysis will enable you to critically view and interpret works from the humanities. You will use analytical and critical thinking skills to assess

how meaning is constructed and imparted to a viewer or audience and will communicate your thoughts in a multimedia presentation (e.g., PowerPoint, Keynote). While the

content of your presentation will focus on analyzing, interpreting, comparing, and contrasting three creative works from separate disciplines, your overarching goal

will be to explain how the three works you analyze demonstrate the value of the humanities in meaningful ways.

Background:

Develop a multimedia presentation in which you analyze three creative works from three separate disciplines in the humanities. You will need to select works that share

a common theme. This theme must relate to a profession within your field of study at ESSAY. You will share with your audience how being knowledgeable about the

humanities and your selected theme is valuable in regards to this profession.

First you must choose one literary work from the given list below. Choose a literary work that has a theme that resonates with you and consider how this theme connects

with your chosen profession. Every profession within your field of study at ESSAY (Business, IT, Nursing or Teaching) will have humanistic considerations. For example, a

civil rights lawyer may be concerned with the theme of freedom, a firefighter with determination, a social worker with compassion, or an engineer with integrity. It is

the intent of this task to explore the major themes of the humanities and their relevance to our professional lives.

Once you have selected a literary work, you will need to select two non-literary works from separate disciplines that share the same theme as the literary work you

have selected. Your presentation will show how all three works connect to the theme that you have chosen, and how that theme relates to a profession within your field

of study at ESSAY. The two nonliterary works you select must come from the following disciplines: two-dimensional visual art (e.g., painting, photography, printmaking,),

music or film (feature films, documentaries). You should choose works that appeal to you personally, are striking to you in some way, and/or evoke a strong response in

you. In the presentation, you will show how exploration of the themes of these works can enhance performance in your profession and deepen your understanding of the

human experience.

Note: Your multimedia presentation should contain 25 to 30 slides. This is not a conventional PowerPoint presentation. You may find that the majority of your slides

are most effectively presented in paragraph form, with some utilizing the more traditional bullet point format. You are encouraged to use first person narrative (“I”

statements) where appropriate. Your presentation should be self contained and all information should be on the slides (do not use speaker notes). Arrange slides in a

way that creates cohesion and flow and use images to accentuate and substantiate points.

Note: This presentation should demonstrate the depth of the analysis and reflection that you have done. Your challenge will be to communicate your points through a

series of clear, focused, and concise slides that represent your knowledge and convey your unique analytical points and insights.
