VH ART 100 PHIL 110 ENG

PART 1-

Your Assignment

We’ve probably all heard the expression, “I don’t know about art, but I know what I like.” In this discussion, we’re going to put that to the test.

In this discussion, you will introduce yourself to your classmates and learn about the kinds of art they like (and hate). This is your opportunity to begin to get to know each other.

Please follow the steps below, and keep your post to around 400 words.

This Discussion is worth 50 possible points. Please read the instructions and Grading Rubric before you begin.

Due Date

• Your contributions to this Discussion are due by Sunday, Feb. 8 at 11:59 p.m
• Your responses to posts by at least two different classmates are due by Sunday, Feb. 15 at 11:59 p.m.

You must post in the Discussion before you can read your classmates’ posts.

In addition, I will use this assignment to determine who is present and active in ART 100 and who is not. As such, you need to post by the end of the first week of the semester, but don’t worry, this is an easy one.

Step One: Post in the Class Discussion

Your post is worth 40 possible points. Please use the first “reply” box you see below the instructions.

Part 1 – Introduction

Start with your name and your major, if you have one, and write a sentence or two about who you are and where you’re going.

Then state the reason you’re taking ART 100, and what you hope to learn. FYI, I already know you need the transfer units.

Part 2 – Your Creative Journey

In this section, you will discuss your creative journey and how art has impacted your life. Has it?

In what area are you the most creative? Is it in art? Another area? Describe one or two skills or activities that you are especially good at, and explain how they show off your personal brand of creativity.

Don’t limit yourself to visual arts, but think of any activities that you do especially well. By activities, I mean active, not passive or receptive pastimes such as listening to music, reading, gaming, etc. These can include sports, music, writing, public speaking, computers, math, gardening, working with animals, working with people, building things, or anything else you can think of.

Part 3 – Most Loved Art

Do you have a favorite work of art, a favorite artist, a favorite style?

Select a work of art that means something to you and explain why it matters. It can be something you made, something a friend or family member made, something you saw in a museum, something you saw walking around town, or something you spotted online. It can be anything, really, including something other people may not consider art. Think out of the box. Surprise us.

What about it do you like the best? The way its made? The message?

Part 4 – Most Hated Art

Find a work of art that you really can’t stand, and explain why you hate it so much. Do you think your opinion of it could ever change? What would it take to change your mind? Briefly explain.

Posting Images

Some of you may want to post images. This is not required, but it can be fun. If so, check out this link for a how-to:

Step Two: Respond to Your Classmates

Each post is worth 5 possible points (10 points total)

Next, review the posts of your classmates. Post clear and thoughtful responses to the posts of two different classmates (at least 100 words each). Be sure to use the correct reply box.

Respond to the response. If someone asks you a question or provides some other insight, please respond thoughtfully and courteously.

Plagiarism Warning!

All student submissions are rigorously checked for the inclusion of AI generated text. This includes your initial post and responses to your classmates. You will receive zero points for every assignment you submit which includes any AI generated content, with or without citation. This includes, but is not limited to, using generative AI tools (e.g. ChatGPT, Grammarly) to ideate, pre-plan, edit, translate, or otherwise create material you claim to be solely your creation. Do your best work, but keep in mind that it doesn’t need to be perfect. I will give you a fair score for submitting your own, original work, even if it has flaws, because it tells me that you care about learning and that you are trying.

PART 2

Philosophy?What is Philosophy?

This week, I want you to think about what you expect to get out of this class. After doing the readings, imagine that a friend or family member has asked you why you are taking a philosophy class. They may be wondering what philosophy is, what it is good for, or why you would want to learn about it. In this discussion board, answer them by explaining what you’ve read from our first two readings.

Since you need to post two responses each week, make one of your posts play the devil’s advocate. Now YOU can be the inquisitive friend or family member who isn’t yet convinced that philosophy is worthwhile. Challenge one of your classmates to answer/defend the importance of philosophy.

Finally, what do you really think? Is philosophy worthwhile? Why or why not? (I promise I won’t mark you down for being honest! 😉

PART 3-

Journal 2

Overview

In the Module, we have been looking at the connection between reading and writing. For this assignment, we are going to apply that connection. We are testing the hypothesis that reading gives us something about which to write. TheJournal is going to be a practice run for your first Response, which is due next Sunday (Feb. 15). Writing a brief practice response should give you the chance to figure out what you do and do not understand before submitting that assignment.

In this module, we also learned, or reviewed, that argument is everywhere and that we read to inform our ideas. Yes, we have opinions and thoughts of our own, but when we read others’ ideas, our thoughts might modify slightly, or extensively, as we see a new perspective. Conversely, the information we read might simply reinforce what we already believed. In either case, we read these ideas and perspectives to enhance our writing and our credibility.

Victor R. Lee, et al., in the essay, “” offer the readers an overview of AI in the classroom and whether it is cheating. As the title denotes, Lee, et al., share some basic background information and applications. Based on that somewhat abstract summary (I deliberately made it vague so that you would have to read it!), I have a question that I would like you to answer:

What do you think? Based on Lee, et al.,’s and your own ideas, is A.I. going to improve our academic lives, or is it going to lead to accusations of cheating? Be specific in your answer and offer personal examples.

In the Journal, give the author’s full name and “Essay Title.”
