In this Discussion Board Reflection, you will be connecting with your classmates about the low-tech, whatever-you-have-on-hand experimental Printmaking activity. The purpose of this forum is to “talk” about the experience with your classmates.  1.  Your Post Think about what you have learned so far about the nature of art, and the purposes that art serves, then jump in and share some thoughts about the activity and your approach to creating an experimental painting. Here are some prompts to start the discussion: What was it like to do the activity?   What was your idea?  What method did you use to make your print(s)?  What materials did you use?  Did you create an image that was realistic, abstract, or nonrepresentational?  Were you most intersted in conveying thoughts?  Feelings?  What the eye sees?  How did pattern and rhythm come into your composition?  Did this activity add to your understanding of the book chapters and/or of the other Lesson content?

Environmental justice ensures that all communities are treated fairly and are meaningfully involved in environmental-based decisions, such as where to build a new sanitary landfill, hazardous waste repository, industrial plant, or any other such site that could create an environmental hazard for those who live in the area.Describe a time when environmental injustice occurred. This can include any current or past events where the community was not fairly and meaningfully involved in the decision-making process.Who is or was negatively affected? What negative health effects could or did the community experience? What other social factors compound the negative health outcomes of the community?

Assignment Overview: Identify one collection from a specific designer or brand (active any time after 1959). The collection should have either a video or at least 40 still images from the fashion show/presentation available. What to include Abstract (at least 150 words) that outlines the major theme(s) of the collection. An abstract is a concise summary of the key points of your research. A minimum of 5 pages of text (this does not include your abstract, images or bibliography). Images from the collection which you refer to in your paper (include figure numbers with images on a separate page after text) Bibliography must include at least two primary sources including a link to fashion show video or stills Things to consider What is the historical reference for the collection? How does the designer reflect the zeitgeist of the era? Does their work reflect the economy, political tension, a shift in a particular group’s place in society, rejection of previous acceptable societal practices (wearing fur, unhealthy practices like corsetry, women gaining the right to vote, to work)? Identify the designer’s fashion philosophy and influences. Only include a brief biography as it relates to the collection under review in your paper. Examine the aesthetic characteristics of multiple garments in the collection including cultural influences and significant themes. You are expected to use the language of fashion, proper terminology for collars, necklines and silhouettes. See Fashion Terms and Styles for Women’s Garments located in Canvas under Course Documents.

Assignment: Anthropology 3 Who Owns the Past? Overview Over the past few decades, there has been an expansion of methods in bioarchaeology, the analysis of human skeletal remains. We are now able to extract ancient DNA to understand ancestry, measure stable isotopes to understand an individual’s diet, use CAT-scan technology to record previously hidden traits, and so on. At the same time, it is becoming increasingly clear that archaeology is not conducted in an ethical vacuum as descendant communities voices are increasingly being heard regarding the intrusion of archaeologists onto their ancestors. This conflict is especially apparent in a recent article, “The Kennewick Man Finally Freed to Share His Secrets”  (Links to an external site.) , in the Smithsonian Magazine. You are to compose a brief, 750 word essay that compares and contrasts the Kennewick Man case with the African Burial Ground videos. This is not an opinion piece, but a position paper where you will use facts and examples to support your conclusion. African Burial Ground videos: Part 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbCa_djSo6E&feature=youtu.be&ab_channel=MarionNewton Part 3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lYug9ZmQZV0&feature=youtu.be&ab_channel=MarionNewton Kennewick Man case will be a pdf attachment. The questions below are provided to give you some considerations and directions for your paper–do not respond to each question but incorporate them into an essay with an introduction (including a thesis statement), body, and conclusion that takes a position regarding roles of archaeologists and descendant communities.  1.What role should archaeologists play in reconstructing the past of communities they are not members of?  2.Why would some communities want their ancestors’ remains studied by archaeologists, and other communities might not? 3.When should science, conducted in the interests of the general population, be more important than the ethical concerns of descendant communities? Paper requirements: 1. Your response should be a minimum of 750 words and submitted as a Microsoft Word or Adobe PDF file in Canvas. 2. 12-point Times New Roman font. 3. Name, course, and date in the upper-left corner. 4. Original paper title (required) centered. 5. References cited at the end of the paper (do not need to place on a new page) 6. No quotations. Instead, cite your sources.

how is our plastic usage and pollution harming our oceans and environment and what can we do about it?

Discuss the problem of aesthetic autonomy by focusing on one of the above issues: criticism, the ethical content of art, the public role of monuments and murals, or the ‘propaganda’ value of art. How, if at all, can art and aesthetic value play important political or ethical roles. Should it play those roles? What is aesthetic value such that it may or may not have such power?  read this below and use the sources in the prompt to construct an argument that completes the prompt above. The Aesthetic and the Practical  Paul C. Taylor discusses the ‘problem of aesthetic autonomy’: What is the connection, if any, between ethics and politics, on the one hand, and aesthetic value and art (or ‘expressive culture’) on the other?  Here is the problem: Art and aesthetic value either have or lack ethical and political import. If art and aesthetic value do have ethical and political import, then what’s the point of art? Shouldn’t we just engage in direct political and ethical action? Wouldn’t that be a more effective means of change? If art and aesthetic value do not have ethical and political import, then it is irrelevant. Even if it has some value, it pales in comparison to the value of a better ethical and political world.  The two historical figures we studied have different responses to this. Kant argues that beauty and aesthetic judgment are autonomous. Aesthetic judgments are grounded in a disinterested pleasure and beauty gives rise to such pleasures. When we find something beautiful our judgement is perfectly ‘free’—free of our own desires and free of the compulsion of others. Schiller, in contrast, argues that aesthetic value is inseparable from social and political value.  Since our study of Kant and Schiller, we have explored several points of contact between art/aesthetic value and ethics/politics:  • Criticism as Practical Reason: According to Anthony Cross, critical reasons are practical reasons, not theoretical reasons. They give us reasons to act in certain ways.  • The Intrinsic Question: Can ethical content condition aesthetic value? AW Eaton argues that it can and does in Titian’s Rape of Europa, whose ethical disvalue diminishes its aesthetic value.  • Art and Collective Valuing: Monuments and murals (in post-revolution Mexico, or in the Jim Crow South) can function as sites and sources of collective valuing, for better or worse.  • Art as Propaganda: W.E.B. Du Bois and Paul C. Taylor argue that art has a propagandistic function, serving to help individuals and groups construct a sense of self or identity.  thank you, and please, please, please read the prompt !!!!!! I also attached a reading from W.E.B Dubois that you can use as a source if you need it.
