From Olivia: Creative Response #2: Guidelines

I've been talking to many of you individually about this, but here are the assignment guidelines:

1. You are going to sign up for a day on which to present your CR2. This not a speech or a power point presentation; this is a brief "show and tell" type of format. You will not turn anything in. You will not be judged on your artwork. You will be graded on the effectiveness of your analysis and your ability to summarize your position in one to two sentences (aloud). It's kind of like presenting a thesis to us orally and then supporting your thesis with your "piece of art."

2. Your assignment: make an original piece of art (poetry, drawing, music, painting, performance, sculpture, collage, comic strip) alone OR with a partner.

3. The artwork MUST illustrate any social group experiencing any of the Five Faces of Oppression.

4. The social group you illustrate MUST comply with IMY's definition.

5. The social group MUST be experiencing at least one of the Five Faces.

6. Your grade is broken down this way: a) the effort of making an original, creative, and thoughtful piece of art is worth 5 points, b) your ability to summarize your analysis, orally, in a thesis statement is worth 5 points, c) your ability to smoothly connect IMY's theories with your own observation (social group, faces of oppression) is worth 10 points.
