For your final project, you will choose a theme, find three expressions of that theme in three different Humanities disciplines, describe the three different presentations, and offer an analysis of each of your choices.
Part 1: Selection of Topic.
This part of the final project is your choice of topic.
Choose one of the following themes or propose one of your own.
- A particular emotion or state of mind such as love, anger, jealousy, fear, gratitude, confusion, etc.
- A specific fairy tale, myth, fable, or classic story
- A religious or spiritual lesson or belief such as humility, hope, enlightenment, faith in reincarnation, the Trinity etc.
- A political or social theme such as social justice and injustice, social inequality, social progress, political conflict, etc.
- Representations of gender, race, ethnicity, or class.
- A specific fictional character or public personality
- Natural forces or elements of the natural world, like weather, animals, landscapes, etc.
Explain the reasons for your choice in a short paragraph of 4-5 sentences. Be sure to include the significance of your choice to your own thinking about the world and/or its cultural significance.
The submission should be carefully edited and proofed for standard use of English.
Part 2: Development of your Topic.
This part of the final project is a summary of your ongoing work on the final paper; it should include three paragraphs, one covering each selected work.
Identify how the theme you chose in Part 1 appears in three different works, each from a different Humanities discipline (visual art, music, dance, poetry, prose, theater, film, religion). For instance, you could choose a poem, a painting and a scene from a film, all of which express and represent the theme of anger. Or, to be even more specific, if you choose the emotion of “love,” the final paper could analyze and discuss love as it is expressed in Shakespeare’s Sonnet 147 (literature), Boticelli’s Birth of Venus (visual art), and in the ballet Swan Lake (dance).
Write one short paragraph (3-5 sentences) about each of your selections in which you:
- Choose reliable and appropriate representations (a good-quality image, recording, video, etc.).
- Identify and cite the source, including the artist, creator etc as well as where you found the representation.
- Explain why you find each selection relevant for this assignment.
The submission should be carefully edited and proofed for standard use of English.
Part 3: Paper.
This part of the final project is the paper that presents your description and analysis of your selected works.
In a 750-1200 word essay:
- Explain the theme you chose and why it’s worth exploring in the Humanities
- Describe each of your selected examples, providing either a link to the example or an embedded image
- Use specific concepts from the course to explain each of your selected examples
- Assess the effectiveness or impact of each representation. In other words, how well did the representation present the concept? How effective was it? What impact did this representation have? What specific elements of the representation lead you to your conclusions?
- Provide a correctly formatted paper, complete and proper citations for any references you consult, using MLA or APA format
Documentation Style: The paper is to be formatted and documented in the MLA or APA.
The submission should be carefully edited and proofed for standard use of English.
