- Arts experience essays: one per month for these 4 months:
Jan, Feb, Mar and Ap.
You may write about a
- Fine Arts event such as an opera or orchestra concert or
- about eating at an ethnic cuisine restaurant - Thai, Indian or Japanese, for ex - or
- an indie movie that is approved by your teacher.
No more than 2 of the 4 essays may be on movies.
- also, an art exhibit at a gallery or museum.
The idea is to force yourself to get acquainted with fine arts experiences not normally on a students' agenda.
All tests and essays scored at 15 pts.
The arts experience essay must be
- descriptive: basic info plus sensory details
- evaluative: what was appealing, what was not clear, what might have been improved.
Multiple-choice, open notes tests based on class web site notes: approximately one per month.
First test is on Mozart and the 18th century.
In-class projects - to be completed as homework, when necessary.
Essays researched and written in class (3 or 4, total). Example: comparing Mozart and Michael Jackson.
All to be submitted and stored in GoogleDocs.
