The response paper is a formal paper in which you demonstrate your understanding of art and the visual elements and principles of design. You must visit the Frist Center for the Visual Arts (if you live in the Nashville area) or the Appalachian Center for Craft (if you live in the Cookeville/Livingston area) and write about your response to the artworks you see there. This assignment should be completed at your convenience over a number of weeks (refer to your specific due date). Please plan accordingly, and do not wait until it is almost due to begin; this assignment is important to your course grade, so you should complete it with plenty of time to have your paper proofread, avoid potential internet/equipment issues, and, if helpful, schedule time to speak with someone in the Language Center. Your paper should be at least 600 words and must be double-spaced. Write about your visit in general, but choose 3-5 specific artworks to write about in more detail. describe what you saw explain what you learned explore your personal responses to these experiences use vocabulary properly whenever relevant You must include either a scan or photograph of your admission ticket, or a photo of you at the venue. This can be embedded in your paper or included as a separate file. Do not plagiarize. You may include information learned in research, but it is not required; this is not a research paper. If you do, be sure to cite your sources appropriately. Remember at all times that your own personal response is the main point of this paper. Consider whether it would be best to write about art that you like or dislike, or perhaps a mix of the two. Why did you choose those artworks? Do they relate to each other in any way? Include artist names and titles for the works you write about. Try to use appropriate terminology from our lesson whenever possible. You should include a brief visual analysis of at least one of your chosen artworks, identifying any visual elements or principles of design that you feel are important to the work. Be certain to use proper spelling, grammar, punctuation, etc. Your paper must be broken up into paragraphs to help with pacing, and be sure to include some sort of introduction and conclusion; don’t just end the paper when you get to 600 words! There is a drop box set up in eLearn where you must submit your paper. Remember to include an image of yourself at the exhibition, or of your admission ticket.
