Essay objective (creative question or statement): Consider the argument you want to make regarding the human experience and maintaining a creative practice.

To help you decide on a topic ask yourself a few questions regarding the research you have done this semester:

  • What does it mean to live a creative life?
  • Are the systems around you important to your creative pursuits?
  • Has collecting, either your own or that of others, affected you in some way?
  • How can you curate a creative practice?
  • How does cultural humility play a role in living a creative life?
  • What symbols present themselves in your research?

Your essay should include each of the sections listed below. Apart from the Introduction, conclusion and sources, they can be in whatever order you choose.

Introduction

  • Hook sentence – What will we be exploring in your essay?
  • What is the overall idea based on the arguments to follow?

Readings – You will be required to present one main idea from the research you have done throughout the semester.

  • Summary of the main points from you research. Whether you use quotes or paraphrase – do not copy and paste and make sure to use in-text citations when necessary.
  • Do you agree/disagree? Why?
  • What questions present themselves based on your research, both from the course and individually?
  • How can you connect to culture and the human experience?

Artist(s) – You are required to choose at least one (1) artist, and to have at least one (2) sources for them (not including any provided by me on Canvas). Your main idea should connect to the artist or collective you chose.

  • What artist did you choose?
  • Did you focus on a specific piece or collection that they created?
  • Conceptual interpretation of their work(s).
  • What are other writings or resources available on this artist and their work or this piece in particular.
  • What questions present themselves for creative research based on the artwork?

Speculative – You will be required to present one main idea in response to your research that will be explored in your final making-based project. Your Final Creative Project should be directly connected to this.

  • How can you connect your creative question or statement to your intended creative project?
  • What are you considering making?
  • Conclusion
  • Restate your overall idea.
  • End with a provocative statement or question to set up your making-based project.

Your essay should use MLA formatting and must be a minimum of four (4) pages typewritten (max 6), double spaced, 12 pt. Include your name and section number on the first page
