Assignment 2 - Discussion Posts

(20% of Final Grade, or 4% for each posting)

Instructions:

You will complete a total of five discussion postings (in Unit 2,  4, 5, 8, & 10), between 400-500 words each, and include an image either taken by yourself or found online. You should explain how your chosen image relates to the specific question given for each unit discussion (listed below). You MUST cite the source of information and/or images you find using Chicago style.  Your post should be free of spelling and grammatical errors. These postings will be used to assess your understanding of materials and processes as well as the social, political, and religious role of art within each specific unit.

You will also comment on at least 1 fellow student's post for each unit. Respond to another student's posting with a substantive comment that furthers the discussion of the theme or idea developed in their response. 2-3 sentences are sufficient.

What constitutes a substantial comment? The following are examples for guidance:

Substantial Comment: I was not aware that such a large portion of xxx work was related to the theme of xxx. I can see from your image that... this...

Insubstantial Comment: I loved your image, it made me think about xxx in a new way. Thanks!
