choose ONE of the following questions, and give a substantive response to at least two other students.1. YOU, THE ARTISTWrite a poem or a brief essay, draw or paint a picture, make a carving, compose a song, take a series of photographs. Consider doing a self-portrait in any artistic medium or literary form, representational or abstract. To get started, you might look at “Project Art-a-Day” at http://projectartaday.blogspot.com/2013/03/lesson-value-self-portraits.htmlInclude images or audio files of your creative efforts in your response. Then reflect on your experience.2. CROSS-FERTILIZATIONPresent and discuss an example of cross-fertilization between two or more art forms. For example, you might compare a theater presentation with a film adapation of the same play, or discover and describe how a poem can be illustrated as a drawing or painting. For this discussion, you might also compare art forms between two different cultures. For example, you might compare how religious images or music differ between religious or cultural groups.Be sure to include images and links so everyone can see or hear what you’re discussing.3. REVIEW A TED TALKTED stands for Technology, Entertainment, and Design. The TED organization sponsors global presentations on “Ideas Worth Spreading.”Go to the website https://www.ted.com/ . Find a TED talk that addresses the value of one of the humanities fields covered in this course or a controversy in one of the humanities disciplines. Write a review of the presentation. First, identify the name of the speaker and the presentation, indicate when it was presented, and give a link to the talk. Second, describe the main points of the TED talk. Finally, offer a critique —your assessment of the speaker’s ideas and the presentation overall. 4. DISCUSS FUNDING FOR THE ARTSAlthough most people appreciate the arts as part of their everyday lives (perhaps, especially, music and film), the arts often are first to go when public school funding is tight. Use the educational resources for this week as a starting place to explore the pros and cons of public funding for the arts and funding for art and music in public schools.

I need assistance in writing a discussion as explained below. Discussion: Major Developments in the Humanities In addition to the information presented this week regarding the reasons for the creation of artifacts in each era (the Ancient World, the Middle Ages, the Renaissance), recall information about motives for creating artifacts presented earlier in the course as you answer these questions: 1. Identify an artifact that represents the characteristics of each era. You should identify a total of three artifacts. Insert an image or include a link to your artifact. 2. What do you believe was the purpose for the creation of each of the artifacts you selected? Justify your response using what you now know about the culture and values of each era. 3. Why do you believe the creators felt the need to express themselves using these artifacts? PLEASE NOTE: Your choices need to be within the Ancient World, the Middle Ages, and the Renaissance. These time period can overlap but that doesn’t always mean an artifact is one thing or another. Make sure your choices reflect the accurate time period/movement they are meant to be from. The three artifacts I have chosen are: Ancient World – Plato’s RepublicThe Middle Ages – Cathedral of Our Lady of ChartresThe Renaissance – Michelangelo’s Ceiling of the Sistine Chapel
