  • Response to Compatibilism

    $0.00

    As you learned from your reading, compatibilism is the most popular theory among philosophers. This theory says that determinism and free will are compatible. However, it claims that while our actions are caused they are still free as long as we are not coerced. In other words, the definition of freedom has been changed. What is your response to compatibilism?

  • Art History – Questions 1&2 Solutions

    $15.00
    Question 1:

    We have continued our study of the art created by cultures outside of the West. Like those we studied last week, many of the cultures studied this week also created monumental works of architecture, but often for very different reasons than what we saw last week. In 3 well-developed paragraphs locate 2 specific examples of monumental architecture created by 2 different cultures we studied this week and discuss:

    1. Why do you believe each culture undertook the creation of your selected monumental work of architecture and sculpture despite the difficulties of accomplishing them? What can we assume about a work of art without such knowledge?
    2. How do the reasons for their works compare with those of a more modern example of monumental art work, such as Mount Rushmore, the 9/11 Memorial, etc.?

    Be sure to explain your ideas clearly and support them by discussing specific works of art that you have read about this week, talking about how they illustrate and support your ideas.

    Question 2:

    The tradition of mask-making and masquerade can be found the world over, but no place is it as pervasive, diverse and rich as found in the traditional arts of West and Central Africa. Although these masks are often seen as works of art in the West, they typically were not intended to be a work of art. Interestingly, in many African societies there is not a word for “art.” In 3 well-developed paragraphs select 3 different traditional African masks, each from a different African society. Discuss:

    1. How is the mask used and what is its purpose?
    2. Does putting the mask on display in some place like an art museum or gallery change what you think of it?

    Be sure to explain your ideas clearly and support them by discussing specific works of art that you have read about this week, talking about how they illustrate and support your ideas.

    This is Part 1 of a two-part assignment and spans Weeks 3 and 4. Imagine that you are one of these intrepid European explorers who has set out to discover and collect the traditional art forms created by the four cultures we have learned about this week:

    • India
    • China
    • Korea
    • Japan

    As you “travel” and collect two works from each of your four cultures, you need to document some important field notes that will help you to explain what these treasures are upon your return home. These field notes need to include for each work of art:

    • Name of the culture that produced the object
    • Title or name of the object
    • Date of the object
    • Medium/materials used to create the object
    • Current location

    Assignment Instructions

    1. Using the textbook and Internet sources, locate 2 traditional works of art from India, China, Japan, and Korea. Copy and paste the 8 objects into your Microsoft Word document and label each one:
      1. Name of the culture that produced the object
      2. Title of the work
      3. Date of the work
      4. Medium/materials used to create the work
      5. Current location
        Offer a citation of your sources for each image and the information you found in the textbook and on the Internet.
    2. Use your textbook to find out as much as you can about cultural context for each object. Go online and find some reference sources to provide you with more information.
    3. Thoroughly explain and analyze:
      1. What each object is
      2. How you think your European friends back home will react to each object, and why
      3. Why it is culturally important

  • Art History – WEEK3 DQ1&DQ2

    $12.50

    Question 1:

    This week we have studied art that is produced by cultures very different from our own. Without a cultural frame of reference it is often challenging for us to gain an understanding or even an appreciation of a work of art that reflects a visual aesthetic that is different. In 3 well developed paragraphs, discuss:

    1. In what specific ways is our understanding of a work of art dependent on an understanding of the religious and cultural beliefs from which the work arose?
    2. What can we assume about a work of art without such knowledge?
    3. Looking at a work of art such as the Taj Mahal, which is the world’s most recognized building, how doesnotknowing the story or context for its construction shape our perception of this as a master work of art? How does your perception change of this structure once you know the story and reasons for its construction?

    Be sure to explain your ideas clearly and support them by discussing specific works of art that you have read about this week, talking about how they illustrate and support your ideas.

    Question 2:

    All of the cultures that we have looked at this week built architectural monuments, but few have survived intact. Often these monuments embody the social, spiritual, political and religious ideas of the culture that created it. One of the few to have survived isthe Forbidden City in Beijing, China. In 3 well developed paragraphs, discuss:

    1. What was the function of the Forbidden City?
    2. How was it designed to reflect the social hierarchies of the Ming dynasty?
    3. What other monumental work of architecture did you learn about this week that also reflects these concerns and how?

    Be sure to explain your ideas clearly and support them by discussing specific works of art that you have read about this week, talking about how they illustrate and support your ideas.
