summary/reflective essay

focus on the Sabine Kriebel reading(focus on section 4, pp. 38-43) and compose an essay (see the format guidelines at the bottom of the page) that addresses the following questions:

What are some of the putative differences between analogue and digital photography, according to Kriebel? How do these differences change the way one might theorize photography?
How does Mitchell theorize the differences between analogue and digital photography? How does this change its evidentiary value? Is this convincing?
How does Manovich critique Mitchells argument? Are his criticisms convincing to you? If Manovich is convincing, that how is digital photography different than analogue? Are we "post-photography"?
don't use outside sources please use the full name when you mention in the essay

Your argument needs to have a structure (introduction, explanation, conclusion)

In addition, separately from your argument on a scene, write down the keyword from the lecture, which the instructor gives, in your response paper.

Show Critique

The point of this assignment is to be able to watch and evaluate a theatrical production.  You will find a link to various sites where you can watch the theatre online or you can find a show that you would prefer to watch. If you chose your own show - please email me to let me know what show you want to watch.  Also - you need to choose a show that you have NOT seen before.  The idea is to watch the production for the first time and evaluate it based on your impression of it.

Please note:  The show you watch needs to be a theatrical production and NOT a show made for TV.

Criteria for the show critique

The critique of the production needs to be your perception of the show based on specific details.

The idea with an assignment like this is to watch a theatrical performance (NOT a film!) and then evaluate it based on some of the things we have talked about in this course so far.  See the rubric for the assignment to see what your criti

Term Paper

The paper should be double-spaced, using a standard 12-point font, and seven to ten pages in length.  Students should approach the paper not as a standard book report in which you give a laundry list of what happened in each chapter.  Rather, consider how the books, some written during the actual time periods we are studying, give you an insight into the culture, art, and history of the times.  You may have to do some research on the art produced in the area covered by your book during the time period. The attachment below is the book I chose.

Preservation and Restoration

Many feel that architecture, art, and design elements should decay naturally. Others feel that all efforts should be made to preserve and restore artworks and buildings of significant historical value. What do you think? Should we go to all lengths to clean, restore and/or maintain a piece of cultural history or should we let the items succumb to the limitations of their materials and disintegrate naturally? Who gets to decide?

Write your response in a minimum of two paragraphs and make sure to cite any sources in MLA format.

Here are some topics to get you started on research and to help you form your opinion: :

Winterthur Museum: furniture conservation
Restoring Michelangelos David
World Monuments Fund
BuildingConservation.com
American Institute for Conservation of Historic and Artistic Works
Journal of Architectural Conservation

Compare and Contrast

The spread of the Renaissance to Europe and England is further highlighted by an increase of national pride resulting regional interpretations and differences in the stylistic development of furniture items and interiors.  Select a furniture type: chair, table, bed, etc. and choose one French, one Spanish and one English example for which to conduct additional research.

Provide a three-paragraph minimum descriptive analysis of the stylistic characteristics and culture from which it originated using relevant terminology.  Include the following information:

- Artist, designer and/or patron (if known)
- Date of creation
- Medium/materials used
- Dimensions
- Important decorative elements
- Images of each furniture item

Why did you select these three examples?  Describe the stylistic link between your selection - what elements are similar, what are different?  Which do you feel best represents the overarching ideals of the Renaissance
