The subculture of the selfie exploded with the onset of the mirror camera mode- and now, it would be difficult to find anyone that has a smart phone that does not know what a selfie is. However, this practice has been around for hundreds of years, and was previously identified as a “self portrait”.The earliest that I can identify are from as far back as the Renaissance (1500’s). Not all artists worked in this mode, however this is when we see artists reflecting back on themselves, some more often than others (Rembrandt, p 321.).For this week’s summary, you are going to create a psychological self portrait that is influenced by an artist from the textbook, and analyze it as an art historian might, or someone with a trained eye might, (like yours!).A psychological self portrait gives us an insight into your emotions and feelings. It tells us of where you are at mentally and emotionally. Color, size, iconography, how much space your image takes up in the composition: these elements together tell us the story of you, in that moment. For this assignment, please reference Chapter 11, section on "Portraits" in the textbook.You may also use any other image from the rest of the textbook. Requirements & Instructions1. Look through Chapter 11. Find an image that you find interesting, inspiring, and that you think you can create your own version that is "inspired by" that artist from Chapter 11.Make sure to read the image description- it will tell you the story and feeling behind the self portrait. It may be in the story, that you find connection and inspiration.2. Take a photograph of yourself that is psychologically interesting. Use your phones camera settings to adjust the colors, zoom in, crop, etc.3. Your selfie portrait must tell a story that you will interpret based on these elements:Composition (p. 42), Vantage; are you central and up close? Significantly small and off center? Zoom in! Or out!Up close leaves no mystery, as opposed to far awayCentral gives you the dominant role, off center may indicate a role reversal of central importanceColor; black & white, color saturation- vivid, faded. Use your phone’s camera settings to adjust the colors to suit the psychological interpretation.Bright saturation may indicate a false intensityFaded colors may indicate lack of emotion, lossBlack and white can tell of loss of vigor, or create extreme dramaIconography: Props, clothingObjects and types of clothing add to the story of your mental and emotional status and lead to an interpretation. Make it fun!Include all points below in your summaryPlease use the numbered format in your summary. Thank you :)1. Your selfie- image2. The original artwork that you were inspired by from Chapter 11. Include the title, name, medium, date. Make your image look as close as you can to your inspired art-work or explain how it is connected conceptually to the original.3. Composition4. Color 5. Iconography/objects6. Reflection: was it successful? Does it create the psychological portrait you were hoping for? Describe the inspiration that you took from the original image; how can we see the inspiration in your image? Have fun!Things to consider:You may create a factitious character like Cindy Sherman did. This broadens your possibilities. Make up a totally new you!Use an artist from the textbook as an inspiration; you do not have to copy them.Things not to do:No normal everyday selfies.No environments/backgrounds that are vague or not directly related to your psychological portrait.Use the timer mode on your phone, so…..no hands holding the phone. Make it a real portrait!Please make sure all of these requirements are fulfilledPlease make sure all of these requirements are fulfilled before submitting:Provide the information in the numbered format above.CITE sources, if you use them (it is not necessary to use another source other than your text book).

Objective ElementsCulture is man-made, and each culture has a collection of created objects that can be studied and compared. People from different geographical regions have created cultures that are shaped by particular environmental challenges and resources. To survive, people have had to adapt to the ecology of the regions in which they live. Furthermore, the objects they created were products of the environment and were limited by the resources that were available. These objects, called objective elements, are the focus of this assignment.Using the South University Online Library and the Internet, research and select three cultural groups from three different geographical areas and climates. To accomplish this task, find a city or town in the region you are looking. Usually, that city or town will have either a chamber of commerce page or town pages describing what you will need to know for this assignment, such as population demographics and cultural and community events, as well as restaurant types. It will take some searching, but you should be able to locate much of the information through these sources.Your task is to compare the groups using three objective elements. Determine how the specific environments shaped the creation of the elements. Choose three objective elements from the following list: Culturally specific foods Cultural or community events Transportation Music Physical artistic creations For this assignment, complete the following table. Each cell should describe the objective element. In addition, explain how the specific environment shaped the formation of that element. This will need to be done in paragraphs following the chart.Comparison of Objective Elements from Three Different Cultures Objective Elements Culture 1 Culture 2 Culture 3 In a 2- to 3-page Microsoft Word document, include the following: The completed comparison table of objective elements A brief essay explaining what you learned from this assignment and including answers to the following questions: What did you learn about the impact of environment on culture? Did the three cultural groups successfully adapt to their environments? How much did the three different cultural groups alter the environment for survival?

In Assignment 1, we ask you to choose one of three topic choices listed below on the subject of diversity then use the Writing Guide located in Blackboard to write a brief paper on the subject. Each topic explores two different approaches to diversity during the 60-year period after the Civil War (1865 to 1925). The dynamic between the two approaches will have a profound impact on our history then and now. As you prepare and brainstorm ideas for your paper, first read and review what our Schultz textbook covers on the subject. Then, consider the other sources listed with each topic below. It is important that you review these sources carefully because your paper should use a minimum of three sources from the list below. Be sure to review the all help (documents or video) provided by your instructor. For information on the SWS format, see the "Strayer Writing Standards" tab on the course menu. TOPIC CHOICE ONE: Empowering African Americans - Two Strategies Here you will focus on the approaches of Booker T. Washington and W. E. B. Du Bois. Other noted names and certainly different organizations will become part of your inquiry. Washington's famous 1895 "Atlanta Compromise" speech (labeled such later by critics) sets the tone. One might find virtues, problems and successes associated with both strategies. You might see elements of each in strategies of later leaders and related issues even today. Sources: Schultz, p. 340-2, 400-1, 404-5. See http://historymatters.gmu.edu/d/39/; and see http://historymatters.gmu.edu/d/40. TOPIC CHOICE TWO: Getting Women the Vote - Two Strategies Here you will focus on the approaches of two organizations and some names associated with each. These are the NAWSA (National American Woman Suffrage Association; later the League of Women Voters) and the NWP (National Women's Party). You will identify the strategic approach and key players in each as they pursued the common goal of getting women the right to vote. One might find virtues, problems and successes associated with both strategies. You might see elements of each in strategies of later leaders and related issues even today.
