For the Term Project, you are required to write an Expository Essay, which is a type of essay that requires you to investigate an idea, evaluate evidence, expound on the idea, and create an argument concerning that idea, in a clear and concise manner. The objective of the Term Project assignment is to analyze the major question of the course which is, In what ways can art effect change?
This assignment is required and worth 400 points of your final course grade. This Essay fulfills the Scholarship In Practice Requirement for this course.
In 1,500 words, your essay will focus on ONE environmental topic (chosen from the list provided) and will select TWO eco-artists that create art about that same environmental topic. The artists you choose must be artists working within the environmental topic you chose. You may choose artists featured in this course (from the module materials or course textbook) or one can be an eco-artist you have found in your own research.
In the Term Project Essay, you will introduce the environmental topic and then the artists to the reader. Next you will compare the artistic discipline, materials, and strategies of both artists and the ways that these artists are working in similar ways to effectively create change within the environment and/or community.
The essay will conclude with a proposed idea for a project that these two artists could collaborate on a project together. Think of it as a “Mash Up”, when you put the two together what would they do? Unlike a traditional research essay you have the opportunity in your conclusion to BE CREATIVE, so do your best to think up a unique project and be very descriiptive about the details.
NOTE: The collaboration idea you are proposing in the conclusion will be the subject of the your Term Project Power Point. Please review the Term Project PowerPoint directions for further details.
