\n

Imagine you are presenting at a conference on art and philosophy aimed at college students in California.  You decide to present a short paper making the argument about how art and the humanities can be a source of hope and justice in the 21st century.  To make this argument, you will present a short,  paper or presentation including evidence from course readings and at least two works of art using a variety of sources including quotes and ideas from <\/span>Our Missing Hearts, <\/span><\/em>quotes and evidence from at least one other written source from our class such as Oscar Wilde’s <\/span>The Picture of Dorian Gray <\/span><\/em>or the writings of Olympe de Gouges or Touissant L’Overture, and a work of 20th or 21st century art that suggests the power of art to show resistance, hope, and the pursuit of justice.   <\/p>\n

Please note:  there are two options for turning in this assignment.  You can either turn in your essay as a written essay 3-4 pages in length with a works cited page OR you can turn in a slide deck of you presenting on this topic using PowerPoint or Google Slides including a works cited page AND a link to a video of you filming your presentation–just like you would do at a conference.  It’s your call whatever method you prefer to submit this.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The Purpose:  <\/span><\/strong>The purpose of this assignment is to see the connections you can make between some of the key ideas from the readings in this unit and others in this class and and contemporary examples of art.<\/p>\n

The Details:  <\/span><\/strong>Imagine that you will be presenting your findings to an audience of your peers.   You should write this assignment in a conversational tone like you were talking to a smart audience of students. <\/p>\n

Your final assignment should be approximately three double-spaced pages (or a bit more if you include larger images of the art you selected).  Or your PowerPoint\/GoogleSlide deck should be around 7 slides (title slide, a slide for each category below, and a works cited page slide) and also include a link to a video of you giving your presentation which will probably be somewhere between 7-10 minutes in length.<\/p>\n

Whether you write a traditional paper or do a presentation and record it, you need to include the different categories of evidence and ideas below:<\/p>\n

Category 1)  <\/span>At least 5 quotations from Our Missing Hearts<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Category 2)  <\/span>At least two quotations from another thinker or writer from our class such as de Gouges, and\/or L\u2019Overture, Kant, Descartes, or Wilde.  Remember that all of the readings from unit one on the Enlightenment from writers like de Gouges, L’Overture, Kant and Descartes can be found linked <\/span>here<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 Category 3) <\/span>some specific details\/information about one of the specific paintings we discussed in class.  A complete list of artists and paintings discussed is at the end of this assignment.  Some good artists and paintings to use might be <\/span><\/strong>David’s Oath of the Horatii <\/span><\/em>or <\/span>The Tennis Court Oath<\/em> <\/span>Turner’s The Slave Ship,<\/em> <\/span>Manet’s Rue Mosigner with Flags <\/span><\/em>and lots of others!  These are just a few ideas.  I talk about Turner and Manet in my video on aestheticism and art linked <\/span>here <\/span><\/a>and David in my video on the Enlightenment and art linked <\/span>here.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n
