My Idea which was approved.  Proposed Idea: In light of the growing interest and involvement in space exploration by global superpowers and businesses, I propose a pioneering project aimed at revolutionizing international customs procedures. Building upon the established customs clearance processes on Earth, this project will establish a futuristic space customs service. The service will facilitate the clearance of minerals, satellites, spacecraft, and other objects entering and exiting Earth's orbit, as well as those venturing beyond our solar system. By creating a system tailored to the unique challenges and opportunities of space commerce, we aim to streamline operations, ensure regulatory compliance, and foster international cooperation in this rapidly evolving frontier. This project transcends national boundaries, offering a visionary approach to managing the complexities of space exploration on a global scale.

1- In the broadest terms, cultural appropriation is when one culture borrows from another culture. In this assignment we will specifically look at the change in context and residual impact of culture appropriation. Students should submit in their initial threads images of an example of cultural appropriation. Explain how the context of the object or culture referenced might be affected. If your image includes an actual object, are the materials significant to the original culture and does that significance translate in its new context? If your image is relevant to the discussion as a symbol, describe how the iconography qualifies as cultural appropriation. Compare and contrast the content or meaning as you discuss the original culture and the transition to appropriation. What might be some residual effects of cultural appropriation? 2-Explain the difference between art and useful objects. Then, discuss how craft media can be an artform by referencing any of the clay, glass, metal, wood, or textile objects from chapter 13. Citing specific examples, explain how the artists have helped shaped society’s ability to recognize “crafts” as viable artforms. 3 a-For the women in class: Compare your experiences in middle schoolwith the findings in the article "On Becoming Female".

create a mind map identifying the six cultural phenomena that should be considered when providing culturally appropriate care to patients, according to Giger and Davidhizar. For each phenomenon, provide a brief description and example. 6 cultural phenomenas Communication: Varied communication styles, languages, and non-verbal cues are present across cultures, influencing interactions and understanding. Space (Proxemics): Cultural norms dictate preferences regarding personal space and physical proximity, affecting comfort levels and social interactions. Social Organization: Cultural norms shape family structures, social roles, and hierarchies, influencing decision-making processes and support systems within communities. Time Orientation: Cultural attitudes towards time, scheduling, and punctuality vary, impacting perceptions of urgency and priorities in different cultures. Environmental Control: Cultural beliefs and practices regarding health, illness, and healing influence healthcare decisions and approaches to wellness within communities. Biological Variations: Genetic predispositions, dietary preferences, and responses to medications may differ among cultural groups, affecting healthcare needs and outcomes.

Discuss, with specific examples, three aspects of early twentieth century avant-garde art movements Many of the avant-garde movements shared the belief that bourgeois society imposed stultifying and conventional ways of seeing and knowing the world, thereby limiting our ability to challenge existing systems of political domination. Compare and contrast the manner by which the Cubists (Picasso, Braque) and the Surrealists (Dali, Ernst, Kahlo, Varo, etc.) sought to challenge or subvert conventional ways of thinking and seeing through their art. Compare and contrast three types of Dadaism, using specific examples. Discuss four key characteristics of Constructivism, using specific examples. Compare and contrast the murals of Diego Rivera and David Alfaro Siqueiros, both in their technical production and in their relationship to the political and cultural dynamics of the 1930s.

The concept of primitivism has played an important role. This includes both “cultural” primitivism, which involved the appropriation of symbols and artifacts from non-western, non-European or pre-modern cultures (Delacroix, Gauguin, Picasso, Blue Rider, Rivera and Siqueiros, the Harlem Renaissance) and “cognitive” primitivism, which was concerned with recovering some deeper or more fundamental aspect of human aesthetic, psychological or perceptual experience (Cezanne, Kandinsky, Surrealism and the unconscious). Drawing on examples from at least two of these movements discuss the role that primitivism played in late nineteenth and twentieth century art in Europe or the U.S. How did it allow artists to re-define the social relevance and function of their work?

Select a found photographic image from public sources and write a descriptive page about why you chose this image. 

If you have not read the PDF of the Sylvan Barnet chapter on writing an exhibition review on the previous page, go back and read that now. The arts are all forms of communication, so they need audiences. The conventional way visual artists have shared their work is to collect it and put it on display in one or more rooms, using walls, pedestals, the floor, or any manner of framing device. Once a member of the public becomes familiar with the conventions of museum or gallery display, they can begin to evaluate the way particular collections of artworks have been put together for their gaze. In this first Exhibition Review assignment you will take your new knowledge and analytic skills to a local gallery or museum exhibition, and compose an informed review. Instructions Select one of the free local exhibitions listed below to attend, then follow these steps: Take a selfie at the exhibition in front of the title wall to prove you've attended.  Take careful notes while walking through. How has the curator organized the space for your gaze and movement? Is there information about the concept of the show or the individual works? Too much information or too little? Note where the curator seems to have put works in conversation with each other. What works stand out or play supporting roles? Consider the lighting, the color of the walls or other staging elements, and the physical relationship you have with the works of art, which has been carefully created for you to experience. Draft an exhibition review that has the following elements: A title that engages the reader An opening paragraph that informs the reader on the premise of the show A thesis that consists of your argument about the value of the exhibition as a whole (not whether it was good or bad) Body paragraphs explaining the significance of what is on display (What stands out and why? Are the objects telling a story? Are they rarely seen by the public? etc); Description of the installation, The setting; High points in the exhibition and weaker choices (if there are any);  A conclusion that summarizes your evaluation Revise and proofread Submit your exhibition review with your selfie image embedded in the last page or attached in the assignment "comments The institution I chose is  Black California Dreamin': Claiming Space at America's Leisure FrontierLinks to an external site. and Tatyana Fazlalizadeh: Speaking to Falling Seeds at the California African American Museum, Exposition Park in Los Angeles.
