The Discussion Board (DB) is part of the core of online learning. Classroom discussion in an online environment requires the active participation of students and the instructor to create robust interaction and dialogue. Every student is expected to create an original response to the open ended DB question as well as engage in dialogue by responding to posts created by others throughout the week. At the end of each unit, DB participation will be assessed based on both level of engagement and the quality of the contribution to the discussion. At a minimum, each student will be expected to post an original and thoughtful response to the DB question and contribute to the weekly dialogue by responding to at least two other posts from students. The first contribution must be posted before midnight (Central Time) on Wednesday of each week. Two additional responses are required after Wednesday of each week. Students are highly encouraged to engage on the Discussion Board early and often, as that is the primary way the university tracks class attendance and participation.
The purpose of the Discussion Board is to allow students to learn through sharing ideas and experiences as they relate to course content and the DB question. Because it is not possible to engage in two way dialogue after a conversation has ended, no posts to the DB will be accepted after the end of each unit.
A. Questions for weekly discussions and conversations (not part of the required Discussion Board assignment) These questions can serve as the starting point for your discussions during the week. They are “thought starters,” so that you can explore some ideas associated with the discussion board and unit topics. Answers are not required, and should not be submitted with your required assignment. Answers are not graded. 1. Abstract art has created many controversial topics about what can be termed art. Why do you think that many abstract art works are criticized? 2. If you had a choice of having a painting from the styles of Impressionism, Art Nouveau, or Avant Garde, which style would you choose and why?
B. Required Discussion Board assignment. On the Discussion Board, post 150–500 words (not including references) arguing your position (either agree or disagree) regarding the following statement: Social, political, or economic conditions can alter the nature and meaning of art.
You may use the links in the unit’s Resources List for assistance with the assignments provided that artists chosen are either discussed in the textbook or are approved by the instructor. You are required to comply with APA style format for quotations, internal citations, and a reference list. For additional information and resources on APA, visit the APA section of the Library, available under “Library Features.” Peer responses can elaborate on the following topics:
