Final Paper (due Dec. 7 by noon via email tue48896@temple.edu):
Choose a contemporary issue that you find particularly important and interesting.
Write an essay, which uses 3 artists (2 living, one deceased) who are making work around this issue. Think about how these artists work establishes a trajectory of thinking around this issue. What questions do they bring up? How are these questions addressed? Do not use the artists from your group’s presentation. Make sure your paper has a thesis statement. You should reference at least two of the course readings as a means to ground your essay and back up your ideas. The essay must have an introduction paragraph, 1-2 paragraphs on each artist (relating them to the topic and readings) and a conclusion paragraph.
Grading is based on how you contextualize each artist’s work and how your essay makes an argument that connects these artists back to your core issue. Length 4 pages (1000-1200 words). Reference the MLA handbook (at Paley library) for essay format and proper citation.
