Research project

Each of you will do some research into an artist, movement, or other topic of interest relevant to this course. You will be responsible for the following when it is your turn:

  1. Writing a blog post on this site categorized as “Research project” that is at least 300 words long, has links to additional resources or articles (other than wikipedia), and had video and/or images embedded that are relevant to your topic. This is due by Wednesday at midnight before class.
  2. You will lead a short discussion of your topic in class (approximately 5 minutes long). Do not simply repeat verbatim what you wrote in the blog post. Assume everyone is familiar with what you’ve written (see below). if you’re going to show some video or audio, make it brief (mo more than one minute) so we can have a discussion.

When you are not presenting, you are responsible for the following :

  1. On Thursday, you will read and watch your peer’s posts. You must comment on their post with something that resonated with you from the work, a question, or other piece of criticism about the research topic. We will use these comments as a basis for the discussion each week.
