you will demonstrate an ability to read, understand, and articulate the key components of a philosophical position; and then you will evaluate the philosophical position, noting whether or not you find it convincing. Prompt: As your reading states, "Kant's aim was to move beyond the traditional dichotomy between rationalism and empiricism." Thus, Kant sought to combine the best parts of rationalism with the best parts of empiricism (and discard all of the bad parts). To do this, he set forth the concept of the "synthetic a priori."  In 1-2 paragraphs, explain what Kant means by "synthetic a priori," and then explain how he refers to this concept to overcome the challenges set forth by David Hume's problem of induction. After describing the key components of Kant's theory of "synthetic a priori" conditions, state whether or not you agree with Kant's solution (supported with reasoning/evidence). CCO #3: Logically evaluate a philosophical argument or position CCO #5: Speak and write clearly about philosophical issues CCO #12: Describe varied conceptions of human nature that are implied by different philosophical theories

IntroductionUnderstanding a work of art really means thinking about the artist's choices. Everything in a work of art, the artist has either put there, or allowed it to remain. An artwork is really just a big pile of choices to think about. Each choice is an expression. Why this kind of line, or that kind of shape, or this color rather than a different line, shape or color, or even none at all? How we interpret, think and feel about a work is based on the total effect of these choices.The first set of choices to think about are the Visual Elements. Like the individual words in a paragraph or tones in a song, visual elements don't convey the whole experience on their own, but they are a vital part to building it. When thinking about a work of art, looking at each visual element and how it is used or not used as well as what it conveys tells us a little bit about what's going on.Unit Learning OutcomesDescribe the different qualities that line might possess (CLO 1, 2, 3)Differentiate between Shape and Mass (CLO 1, 2, 3)Describe the ways in which artists use light to represent space and model form. (CLO 1, 2, 3)Explain how color might be used both in representational painting and as a symbolic tool. (CLO 1, 2, 3)Outline some of the ways in which time and motion inform our experience of visual art. (CLO 1, 2, 3)DirectionsTake a look at the image of the painting Napoleon Leading the Army over the Alps by Kehinde Wiley (2005).Review your reading and/or the videos about artistic elements. (Links to an external site.)Write an evaluation (150 to 300 words) about each artistic element and how it’s used in the work. Use following image below to help guide your evaluation.Submit the written response as a Word or PDF document named: Assignment2.lastname.doc.Using the terms you’ve learned, describe how this artist uses the following art elements within this work.lineshape and spacelight and colortexture time and motionDue DateSubmit by 11:59p.m., Sunday, CT.RubricUnit 2: Evaluation - Art ElementsUnit 2: Evaluation - Art ElementsCriteriaRatingsPtsThis criterion is linked to a Learning OutcomeLevel of Understanding - Line10.0 ptsExcellentDemonstrates an exceptional understanding of the element or design principle discussed, and how it applies to the work in question.9.0 ptsProficientDemonstrates a clear and complete understanding of the element or design principle discussed, and how it applies to the work in question.7.0 ptsSufficientDemonstrates a moderate level of understanding of the artistic element or design principle discussed and how it applies to the work in question.6.0 ptsDevelopingDemonstrates some degree of understanding of the artistic element or design principle discussed and how it applies to the work in question, but often struggles.5.0 ptsNeeds ImprovementDemonstrates little to no understanding of element or principle of design discussed or how it applies the work in question10.0 ptsThis criterion is linked to a Learning OutcomeLevel of Understanding – Shape and Space10.0 ptsExcellentDemonstrates an exceptional understanding of the element or design principle discussed, and how it applies to the work in question.9.0 ptsProficientDemonstrates a clear and complete understanding of the element or design principle discussed, and how it applies to the work in question.7.0 ptsSufficientDemonstrates a moderate level of understanding of the artistic element or design principle discussed and how it applies to the work in question.6.0 ptsDevelopingDemonstrates some degree of understanding of the artistic element or design principle discussed and how it applies to the work in question, but often struggles.5.0 ptsNeeds ImprovementDemonstrates little to no understanding of element or principle of design discussed or how it applies the work in question.10.0 ptsThis criterion is linked to a Learning OutcomeLevel of Understanding – Light and Color10.0 ptsExcellentDemonstrates an exceptional understanding of the element or design principle discussed, and how it applies to the work in question.9.0 ptsProficientDemonstrates a clear and complete understanding of the element or design principle discussed, and how it applies to the work in question.7.0 ptsSufficentDemonstrates a moderate level of understanding of the artistic element or design principle discussed and how it applies to the work in question.6.0 ptsDevelopingDemonstrates some degree of understanding of the artistic element or design principle discussed and how it applies to the work in question, but often struggles.5.0 ptsNeeds ImprovementDemonstrates little to no understanding of element or principle of design discussed or how it applies the work in question.10.0 ptsThis criterion is linked to a Learning OutcomeLevel of Understanding – Texture, Time and Motion10.0 ptsExcellentDemonstrates an exceptional understanding of the element or design principle discussed, and how it applies to the work in question.9.0 ptsProficientDemonstrates a clear and complete understanding of the element or design principle discussed, and how it applies to the work in question.7.0 ptsSufficientDemonstrates a moderate level of understanding of the artistic element or design principle discussed and how it applies to the work in question.6.0 ptsDevelopingDemonstrates some degree of understanding of the artistic element or design principle discussed and how it applies to the work in question, but often struggles.5.0 ptsNeeds ImprovementDemonstrates little to no understanding of element or principle of design discussed or how it applies the work in question.10.0 ptsTotal Points: 40.0
