Topic: Discovering Connections between three different paintings, one Chinese, one American, and one Samoan. 

Course Project Stage 1: Discovering Connections (60 points)

The purpose of this two-stage project is for you to compare cultural productions in the Humanities from three different cultures using terminology and interpretative processes from a specific humanities field.

You will select one field in the Humanities to focus on and discuss three different examples from this field from three different cultures.

During Stage 1, you will find three examples of work in the Humanities, find connections between them, and identify course resources that can help you talk about them.

During Stage 2, you will write a paper comparing and analyzing your examples using terminology and methods from the course resources.

Instructions for Stage 1

Step 1: Find your examples

Do some research outside of the course materials and find three specific examples from one of the fields below that have something in common. Your examples should come from three different cultures.

  • visual arts
Make sure to provide clear examples to avoid being too general in your analysis. The key is to find unique works and make sure they have something in common.

Step 2: Describe your examples

Describe each of your three examples briefly in 2-4 sentences each. Make sure to include the following information in your description of each:

  • The culture and time period for the example (for example, 20th Century Nigeria, 19th Century African American, Chinese Ming Dynasty, the 1600s)
  • The title of the example, if there is one.
  • The author, artist or creator of the example and the dates this person lived (1920-1980, for example)
  • A citation in MLA format, including an image of the example, either as a link out or as an image in the paper.

Step 3: Discover the connections

In about 3-5 sentences, explain at least one specific element or aspect that you think your three examples have in common. No additional research is needed here. Use your ideas. You can ask yourself, for instance:

  • Are they all from the same time period?
  • Do they have a common theme like war, motherhood, peace etc.?
  • Do they all use the same palette of warm colors?
  • Do they all tell a similar story?
  • Do they all have the same kind of protagonist?
  • Do they all use similar metaphoric imagery?
  • Do they all have the same function, as in a ritual?
  • Do they all address ethics? or metaphysics? or epistemology?
  • Do they all depict the same kind of image, like of nature? of people? Of buildings?

Please make sure your citations are in MLA format. This is a proposal and should not exceed two pages in 12 point font, double-spaced.
