Assignment 2: Project Paper
Due Week 8 and Worth 200 points
The Project Paper focuses on a suggested topic related to art, architecture, history, music, or literature.
The project will reflect your views and interpretation of the topic. This project is designed to help you
stretch your mind and your abilities to be the creative, innovative, and critical thinker you already are!
Choose one (1) of the topics from the list of topic choices below. Read the topic carefully. Write a
three to four (3 -4) page paper (7 50-1 ,000 words) that responds to each of the items described, in the
topic.
For the topic you choose:
1. Support your ideas with specific, illustrative examples. If there are questions or points
associated with your chosen topic, be sure to answer all of the listed questions and address all of
the items in that topic. If your topic asks you to do several things related to the topic, be sure to
do each of the things listed.
2. While some of the topics tend to lend themselves toward particular writing genres, you are not
restricted to the specific format suggested for the individual topic. For example, you may do an
“interview,” a “proposal,” a “letter,” a “short story,” a “blog,” an “essay,” an “article,” or any
other written genre for almost any of the topics. The project is intended to be fun as well as
informative, so feel free to be creative with the delivery of your information.
3. Use at least three (3) good quality academic sources, with one (1) source being the class text.
Note: Wikz’pedia and other similar Websites do not qualify as academic resources. You are
highly encouraged to use the Resource Center tab at the top of your Blackboard page.
Note: Your instructor may require you to submit your topic choice for approval before the end of
Week 5.
Topic choices (pick 1):
Office Art Memo. Memorandum. Your boss, who knows you have been taking a humanities
class since he pays for your tuition reimbursement, has tasked you with managing the art budget
for your company, expecting you to choose various pieces of art for the new corporate offices.
(Note: Replicas of the works are acceptable since they are more cost-efficient and you are
working on a budget.) Include the following:
1. Identify three (3) examples of 19th century Impressionist painting or sculpture and three
(3) Post-Impressionist works. Explain how the six (6) pieces of art fall into these two (2)
styles.
2. In a memo, describe the appearance of your six (6) choices to your CEO so he or she will
know what the art looks like and where it would be placed in the corporate offices.
3. Explain why each piece is considered to be historically significant.
4. Explain how each piece “fits” your company’s overall (or desired) corporate image. Keep
in mind that a piece of art is supposed to “say” something about the owner, so describe
what would these pieces of art say about your company.
