Option 1:For your final writing project, you will be required to write a rhetorical analysis of the sculpture you were assigned. The specific requirements for this analysis are the same as WP1 and WP2, so please re-read over those project guidelines for a refresher as to what needs to be accomplished so as to produced a proper WP3. Obviously, the key difference between the final project and the previous projects is the primary text. To this extent, ask yourself: what visual, tactile, and contextual elements does your sculpture, and the art-form of sculpture in general, evince that art-forms such as photography and comics do not? For example, choice of materials and the space of presentation are two noticeable differences; of course, these are not the only aspects that differ, but it is a good place to start (you will be expected to generate additional avenues of inquiry, so do not limit yourself to the two I provided).
Furthermore, there will be a new point distribution as well. Your Statement of Purpose and Author's Note will both count toward your weekly blog posts, leaving the WP3 grade to parse out as follows:
Attribution of Points (20 total):
Peer-reviews: 4 points
Final Draft: 16 points
As with previous projects, the minimum requirements for WP3 are 1200-1500 words, 5 multi-media elements, and 7 relevant hyperlinks. DUE: Tuesday, December 15 @ 12:30PM.
Option 2:
You will write a 1000 word letter addressed to your sculpture. In the letter, you will need to write a) descriptive observations about the sculpture, b) reflections, meditations, and insights that the aforementioned observations stimulate, and c) filter both the observations and reflections through a specific aesthetic-conceptual paradigm (i.e. negativity or intensification). It may also be beneficial to incorporate some contextual material regarding the piece.
The second portion of the assignment will require you to a) read the letter out loud to your sculpture, then after the reading b) imitate your sculpture for 5 minutes. The imitation necessitates that you strike a pose similar to your sculpture and, as motionless as possible, remain that way for the full 5 minutes. When you have completed these steps, thank your sculpture and give it a hug.
If you would like to go with Option 2, speak with me to schedule a specific time during finals week for your reading and imitation. Scheduling a time for this performance is not optional.
Attribution of Points (20 total):
Peer-reviews: 4 points
Final Draft: 8 points
Reading: 4 points
Imitation: 4 points
Before the reading/imitation, you will post a version of the letter onto your blog; in addition to the word count, it will contain 3 multi-media elements, and 4 relevant hyperlinks. DUE: Tuesday, December 15 @ 12:30PM.
