Assignment ESSAY
EVENT: ESSAY TEAMWORK
How would you define an Event? An event is a professional Fine art museum event or a quality performance as discussed in class or in your text. It could be attending an art museum of quality, a professional musical concert like what we study in Humanities, or a play on campus at Richland or a play off campus at a professional theatre, a Dance Performance at a college or a professional dance group at Richland College, or a professional dance company production at another college or a professional performance group in a city or in a community. Event Examples: High quality art museums, Theatrical events such as professional plays and some on college campuses (ask me in an email if it will work) Dance Recitals and concerts, Musical Concerts such as Richland College noon recitals on Tuesdays, Theatro Dallas, Concerts and the Symphony concerts in the Morton Meyerson Symphony Center. Also, the Operas in Dallas and in Ft. Worth, the Kimbell Art Museum, Nasher Sculpture Center Museum. SMU Meadows Museum, Richland College brings artists to campus ask me about these events. Fill out the Introduction about the Event by answering questions and the Second Part which is the Body, about the event and its impact upon you, the individuals who you spoke with who attended the event and then wrap it up in your conclusion
The draft questions do not need to be turned in to the instructor. Turn in the ESSAY. You will notice that it is organized with an Introduction, Body and Conclusion. Include your bibliography at the end. You will want to take notes when you are discussing the event. Include the individuals’ reactions to the event in your body of your ESSAY. Write about how you felt, what you learned, and how you may have disagreed or agreed with those you interviewed. For information on the format see the MLA INFORMATION at the end: scroll down. Your paper will be on separate paper. The questions are supplied for you to develop an outline and rough draft. Your ESSAY should end up being at least 2 pages. Your ESSAY may be 3 pages if you include photos
Another example could be what a person whom you spoke with said about the use of symbolism used by the artist and how you viewed it from a different vantage point. (Then you would explain why that is the situation.)
DIRECTIONS:
After you write your paper explaining the event which will give information concerning the background and historical data, you will include the information about where the event was, who was in the event, what you noticed, when the event was, why the event was held, who sponsored the event etc. Then for the Second Part, you will write about the discussion which you had with at least one other individual who was also at the event and you will write down what that person said and what you said and how you shared your ideas. You will write about how you saw the situation similarly or differently and how the experience helped you understand the purpose of artistic events. You will write about why there are artistic events in the community and the purpose of a community supporting art events. You will talk about how you agreed or disagreed in the value and purpose of art in the community and why we have art in our community.
BELOW are some suggestions to help you when talking to the individuals attending the event with you and discussing the event:
Did you notice anything that was a challenge for you to understand?
Was there anything that was difficult to comprehend that bothered you while attending this event?
What was challenging for you?
