For your third pre-writing assignment, I would like you to write another, brief analysis of your sculpture, using rhetorical appeals, strategies, concepts, and terms that you did not cover in your previous analysis. Perhaps in your first analysis, you did not cover choice of materials. To wit, ask yourself: "If my sculpture is made of bronze, how does that rhetorically affect the audience?" Likewise: "What physical, chemical, and visually properties does bronze consists of? How do those properties alter within particular contexts (such as environmental conditions)? And how can these properties be considered rhetorically?" Posts must be 300-500 words, contain two hyperlinks, and 1 multi-media element. DUE: Thursday, April 15th @ 11:00AM.
For your fourth pre-writing assignment, I would like you to do some research on the historical and aesthetic context of your sculpture. DO NOT limit your research to background information on the artist who created the piece. While some of this informationm may be pertinent, art-objects, even moreso than the texts we have studied heretofore, tend to escape the control (i.e. purpose) of the creator's original intent, due in large part to the fundamental nature of what constitutes art. Attempt to pursue contexts that both support and challenge your understanding of the piece. Posts must be 300-500 words, contain two hyperlinks, and 1 multi-media element. DUE: Sunday, April 18th @ 11:00AM.
Finally, your statement of purpose for this project will be DUE on Tuesday, April 20th @ 11:00AM. Keep in mind that most of you will not be writing rhetorical analysis, per se, but letters to your sculptures with corresponding performances. You will want to consider this when writing this document, as your purpose will be different for this assignment. SoP should be 500-600 words, include 3 relevant hyperlinks, and two multimedia elements.
Also, here is a link to photographs of some of your sculptures. Please read the directions on how to properly capture these images. I believe 12 of you have one image here. I will take photographs your the other four today and send them to you tonight. Furthermore, I will send additional photographs to each of you so yhou can have additional images in your final project.
