Write a long paragraph (3/4 to 1 page) analyzing your chosen artwork in response to the following prompts; BE SPECIFIC:

Explain how and where the artist used visual elements of design, making specific references to your chosen artwork: line, shape, contrast, volume, mass, texture, value, space, color. Explain how and where the artist used visual principles of design, making specific references to your chosen artwork: unity, variety, balance, scale, emphasis, pattern, rhythm. Explain the media (materials) and processes the artist used to create your chosen artwork. (In other words, what is it made out of and how did they make it?) Offer an interpretation of this work of art based on / justified by this analysis; your analysis of elements and principles of design should “prove” your interpretation. Include an interpretation statement such as, “I think this work of art is about…” or “This work of art makes me think about….” or “This work of art makes me feel…” 3. History and Cultural Context (35 points)

The context of art is the set of social, historical, cultural, philosophical and/or religious circumstances in which the artwork was created. You can think of this as anything OUTSIDE of the work of art that helps us interpret it.

Choose one work in the museum that you identify as having contextual significance.

Identify the artwork using the information on the museum wall or brochure text. Start your reseponse by listing the information highlighted below If something is missing from the label, leave that part blank.

Title:Region/country/culture:Medium/materials: Date: Collection number:

Photograph of the work:

Read the museum information provided for your chosen artwork and read general labels in the gallery. Provide a Works Cited for internet research (3 sources minimum required).

Based on information from museum labels, wall text, brochure text, and your own research, but in your own words, write a long paragraph (3/4 – 1 page) explaining the context of your chosen artwork. Questions you might answer for this part include:

What major historical events occurred at the time and place the artwork was created? How do these events relate to the work and vice versa? What technological developments or scientific discoveries may have influenced the artist or provided information necessary to complete the work? What were the key philosophical or spiritual beliefs of the time and culture in which this work was created? What were the social and cultural influences on the work? Consider: social structure (individualistic or collectivistic), gender and other identity issues, patrons, intended audience (for personal use, private collection, royalty, the public, other artists), and original purpose of the work (religious ritual, functional, ceremonial, memorial, political). How does the contextual information found in your research help you better understand the meaning or function of this work of art (be sure to discuss the meaning or function of the work)? 4. Intuitive Response/Cultural & Intercultural Awareness and Engagement (10 points)

What did you learn about yourself (your beliefs and interests), other cultures, and your own culture by engaging with artworks at your chosen museum? Discuss your experience visiting the museum in relation to your experience participating in ARTS 1301 this term.

Video Presentation: A Speech About a Speech

One of the most anticipated and feared parts of communication is public speaking. Public speaking is a complicated science that requires critical thinking, planning, and execution. To be an effective speaker, much more is needed than just the ability to speak fluently and smoothly. A clear structure of key elements is required to create informative or persuasive outcomes. Knowing the differences between informative and persuasive purposes is a necessity when giving a speech.

In this assignment, you will review a persuasive speech of your choice from the options provided. Next, you will use that speech to create a video presentation discussing the speech’s effectiveness.

Choose one of the following persuasive speeches to use for this assignment:

PLEASE USE THE LINK BELOW:

https://youtu.be/fQAw_DM4IwA?si=Ki8XZwaSYyzq0T4q

You will write and record a 5- to 7-minute speech with an accompanying PowerPoint presentation. You should have an introduction, the main portion of your speech that addresses the items in the numbered list, and then a conclusion summarizing your points. You may use this as a guide to structure your speech.

In your video presentation slides, be sure to cover each of the following topics:

Explain what makes this speech persuasive? Support your answer with sources What would make this speech purely informative? What is the overall argument of this speech? How does the speaker establish ethos? Provide one example. If they do not establish ethos, explain why. How does the speaker establish logos? Provide one example. If they do not establish logos, explain why. How does the speaker establish pathos? Provide one example. If they do not establish pathos, explain why. What would be three ethical concerns in using artistic proofs (ethos, logos, and pathos) in a persuasive speech? Justify why it is ethical to use artistic proofs in a persuasive speech. Support your rationale. Also, justify why it would not be ethical to use artistic proofs in a persuasive speech. Support your rationale. Along with the presentation slides, include a video component where you discuss and expand on the content of each slide. Record the video as if you were giving the presentation to employees. Each slide’s key ideas should be thoroughly explained in the accompanying speaker notes.

Your video presentation should:

Be 5–7 minutes long. Provide clear enunciation, use an academic or professional tone, and minimize background noise or interference. Delivery techniques, including word choice and oral expressiveness, and body language, among other nonverbal cues and gestures, should make the presentation interesting while leading the audience to a supported conclusion. The presentation should:

Include a title and reference slide. An introduction and conclusion Contain a minimum of two scholarly references. Be very well organized and have a clear purpose. For assistance with recording video with a PowerPoint presentation, please review the following resources

Cloud Network_Architecture_Evolution Description

Traditional networking technologies have undergone significant transformations to accommodate the dynamic, scalable nature of cloud environments. These adaptations address unique requirements such as multi-tenancy, resource pooling, rapid elasticity, and on-demand self-service.

Consider how a networking technology you’re familiar with has changed in the cloud era. For example, traditional physical routers have evolved into virtual routers that can be deployed instantly and scaled automatically based on traffic patterns.

Purpose

To evaluate your ability to analyze how traditional networking concepts and protocols have evolved to meet the demands of cloud computing environments, and to identify the key components and adaptations in cloud network architectures. Similarly, physical load balancers have transformed into cloud-native services that can distribute traffic globally with minimal configuration.

Associated Skills

Identifying key components of cloud network architectures

Analyzing computer networking concepts and protocols as they apply to cloud environments

Demonstrating thoroughness in evaluating network architecture alternatives

Instructions

For your initial post:

1. Select one specific networking technology or protocol from the following options (or propose another with instructor approval):

Routing protocols (BGP, OSPF)

Switching and network segmentation (VLANs vs. VXLANs)

DNS implementation

Load balancing technologies

Network security approaches

Network monitoring and management

2. Compare and contrast how this technology is implemented in:

Traditional on-premises networks

Modern cloud environments

3. In your analysis, address:

Technical differences in implementation

Advantages gained in the cloud implementation

Challenges or limitations introduced

Specific cloud requirements that drove these adaptations (scalability, elasticity, multi-tenancy, etc.)

4. Share any personal or professional experiences you have with either the traditional or cloud implementation of this technology to enrich your analysis.

For your response posts: Compare the evolution of your chosen technology with those discussed by your peers. Consider:

How do these different technologies complement each other in modern cloud architectures?

Are there common patterns in how traditional networking concepts have evolved for the cloud?

What future developments might we expect as cloud networking continues to mature?
