paintings and sculpture
There’s a whole world of creativity out there to explore. Most of us probably think of paintings and sculpture when someone asks us, “What is art?” but the reality is that art encompasses so much more. There are many mediums to investigate, so many different techniques and methods of producing objects of beauty, and there are the art forms that encompass movement, sound, and performance. For this series of exercises students are encouraged to think outside the basics. There’s a lot of creativity to explore, here’s your opportunity to share the things that you find intriguing.
The Task:
Keeping in mind that art is culturally determined and socially constructed, locate an artform and interview the artist or owner for a greater understanding of the meaning behind the artform. The point of this exercise is to expand standard definitions of art-making and art-identifying in order to increase access and valuation of art in everyday life.
1. Identify an art piece and locate the artist (maker) or owner. (Potential sources are immense – consider public and private art venues, performance and demonstration, etc.)
2. Write a simple description of your chosen art piece and include a photograph.
3. Interview the artist/owner of the art piece in order to obtain responses for the following questions:
What is the medium?
Who is the artist?
What is the meaning behind the piece?
What was the sale price on the art piece (if there was one)?
Does the art piece reflect social status?
Do Market Bubbles exist? what do you think is the next bubble?

1. Briefly describe Amazon.com. Identify potential problems or issues (current or future) that your Amazon.com might address with a research study.
2. What indicators are prevalent demonstrating that Amazon.com is effectively (or ineffectively) using research studies within the organization?
3. How might the company use secondary research? How might they use primary research?
4. What might this company do in the future to expand its research? Include your rationale.
Your APA-formatted response must be a minimum of three pages in length (not including the title page and the reference page) and must include an introduction, a thesis statement (concise summary of the main point of the paper), and a clear
discussion of the questions/topics above. Response must include a minimum of two
credible references. All sources used must be referenced; paraphrased and quoted material must have accompanying citations.

1. ABSTRACT. Summarize what you have read, boiling the book down into 400–600 words (no more than 2 pages). Prove you comprehend the readings by writing a no-nonsense summary.

2. CONCRETE RESPONSE. Get vulnerable! In no less than 250 words and no more than 1 page, relate a personal life experience that this book triggered in your memory. Relate your story in first person, describing action, and quoting exact words you remember hearing or saying. In the teaching style of Jesus, this is a do-it-yourself parable, case study, confession. You will remember almost nothing you have read unless you make this critical, personal connection. What video memory began to roll? This is your chance to tell your story and make new ideas your own.
3. REFLECTION. This is the critical thinking part of the review (not critical in the sense of negative, but in the sense of questioning). In no less than 250 words and no more than 1 page, describe what questions pop up for you in response to what you have read. Keep a rough-note sheet at hand as you read. Outsmart the author by asking better questions than he/she raised in the book. Tell how the author could have made the book better or more appealing to those in your field of service. One way to begin this section is by stating what bothered you most about the book. This is not a place to provide an endorsement or affirmation of the book.
4. ACTION. So what are you going to do about it? In 400–600 words (no less than 1 page and no more than 2 pages) provide 2 actions that describe what changes you are going to make in your life, ministry, and/or work as a result of your reading.
