To complete this assignment, follow these steps: 1. Choose a theme related to human development in the family, focusing on aspects such as gender, sexuality, race, immigration, or disability within contemporary Canadian culture. Ensure the theme reflects your personal lived experiences and involves critical thinking about social injustice. 2. Take five photographs (or find images online with proper sourcing) that represent your chosen theme. The images should depict spaces or places that are interrelated with your interpretation of oppression and marginalization in your own life or the lives of others. 3. For each photograph or image, write a 500-word summary that includes: a. A description of what is seen in the photograph or image (what is being seen?); b. The story behind the photograph or image (what is happening?); c. The relationship of the photograph or image to your own life or the lives of others; d. An analysis of why things are the way they are and how the image can educate others; 4. Include academic sources in each summary to support your analysis and connect to the principles of human development in the family. 5. Ensure your summaries highlight the intersectionality of your chosen theme and demonstrate your understanding of course concepts, such as decolonization, trauma, and addictions in the family. This will help you explore the deeper meaning of human development in the family and how it relates to your own experiences and the world around you.

ART MUSEUM ASSIGNMENT

You are required to visit a major art museum in person, as that is the intent of this individual field trip assignment. You are to choose between creating a visual art museum PowerPoint project – OR – writing a three-page art museum essay critique. This assignment is due according to the date indicated on the course schedule.

Objectives: Students will experience personal interactions with original works of visual art in an art museum environment. Students will then reflect upon their general responses to the works encountered and record their experiences of observation, critical thinking, participation, and applied knowledge. Students will select only one painting or sculpture on which to focus for their detailed analysis specifically. 

Purpose: To understand and appreciate a work of art, one must personally encounter and experience that work. This assignment is designed to draw the student away from the textbook and out into the real world of art exhibitions. Because works of art reflect and expose the culture in which they were created, engagement with original art can enhance an individual’s perception of and insight into his/her heritage and cultural identity. In addition, awareness of the contributions of artists and cultures to the global community may promote multicultural awareness and appreciation. Finally, this assignment affords students the opportunity to broaden their horizons and to enjoy the artistic and cultural advantages available in or near their own or different cities.

Photos: Photos must be included, so take a cell phone camera or a camera without the flash. The power point should present art museum photos throughout selected slides; however, give focus to one selected work of art. The written paper is to present photos at the end of the three page written paper; do not include photos within or the middle of the written paper. Photos should present you standing beside your selected artwork and photo details of your work of art, as well as selfie(s) – you with your selected art and you at the museum. If you want to include photos of additional artwork Museum assignment, you are to choose between creating a visual art museum PowerPoint project – OR – writing a three-page art museum essay critique paper.  The PowerPoint is to contain between 15 – 20 slides. The essay critique is to be three fully written pages in length (12-point font, double-spaced.) Either should be free of any grammatical or spelling errors, use standard academic English, and include photos.

This Art Museum Assignment must include the following FIVE distinct parts/sections: 

1) Introduction: Set the stage — your introduction must answer the 5 W’s in any order: Who? Did you go alone or with friends or family; if not alone, did your group stay together or split to wander independently? What? Name of the museum you visited; what were your first impressions? When? Not just a date, but also the day of the week and time of day; was it crowded or empty, and were there special exhibits or events taking place? Where? Location and your reasons for choosing that location; how many times have you been there before? Why? To identify a favorite original work of art in person: title, artist, date, country of origin, and medium?

2) Descriptive Criticism, text page 44: Describe your observation of the form of the artwork in detail. What kind of work is it? Is it a painting (landscape, portrait, still life, etc.), sculpture, or photograph? Is it representational (realistic) or abstract? How is it organized? (in other words, talk about the structural details.) What do you literally see – types of lines, colors, textures, shapes, elements of composition, etc.? What important principles of art did the artist use?

3) Interpretive Criticism, text page 48: Discuss the content and message of the work of art. What is it about? What was the artist’s intention; what was the artist trying to say in the subject matter? What does it mean to you; what do you get out of it?

4) Evaluative Criticism, text page 51: Judge the merits of the work of art. What is its’ worth to humanity? Why is it in the museum; why should people see it; who would it appeal to, and why? Does it exemplify any or all of the three standards of evaluative criticism; why or why not? Be sure to address each of the three standards: perfection, insight, and inexhaustibility (text page 52.)

5) Conclusion: Share your personal reflections regarding the work of art and the overall museum experience. What (if anything) surprised you? What (if anything) disappointed you? What will you remember most? What did you get out of this experience?

• A practical guide to designing a poster for presentationLinks to an external site.
• How to develop and present a conference posterLinks to an external site..
• Preparing and presenting effective research postersLinks to an external site.
• Health informatics resources tip sheetLinks to an external site.

The final assignment for this course is a Final Project. The purpose of the Final Project is to create a formal Poster Presentation. You will culminate the learning achieved in the course by interpreting research and preparing a poster for a formal presentation, which includes dissecting a piece of research and portraying it in a poster appropriate for conference presentation. The Final Project represents 20% of the overall course grade.

Focus of the Final Project

For this final project, you will select one of the article choices listed below and create a formal poster for a presentation. While poster presentations are generally created in large format, for the purposes of this class, you do not need to find a large-format program in which to create the presentation. Instead, you may use up to four pages of 8 ½ x 11 paper (such as in Word Document or PowerPoint) to create the sections for your presentation. Examples are included below for how the four pages would fit together and be presented on a poster. You can create them separately but please keep them in order. If you own Publisher, this is an acceptable software tool that has large format options.
