Hi students,
FORMAT/SUBJECT OF ESSAY
Turn in a professional, double-spaced essay that addresses this question:
what is the relationship between your design, and how the U.S. nation might be constructed?
You should reference Dylan Rodriguez's _Forced Passages_, pages 1 - 39 and p. 185-223 for this.
If you do not reference Rodriguez, you will be penalized.
While you can help each other on this project (perhaps by blogging? or just talk to each other), your essay should reflect YOUR ideas about YOUR design process.
Yes, as discussed in class, you may reference your home country if it is helpful to compare what you know best, about your experiences as a designer/artist/illustrator in the United States.
STRUCTURE
A good essay will have an imaginative opening section, followed by your statement that describes what nation-building is, as we discussed in studio. At the end of this section, you will asssert your THESIS. A thesis is an opinion and belief that you can back up by providing EXAMPLES and ANALYSIS throughout the remainder of the paper. This opening should be 2 - 3 paragraphs long.
The remainder of your pages will be your argument, providing visual and/or verbal examples that support and build your argument (or, thesis). In this secion, you can and should cite Dylan Rodriguez's book. Reminder: don't just site Rodriguez in quotes. Also argue with him, bring up a subject he leaves out, discuss why or why not his ideas are helpful to you as a designer.
The last 1-2 paragraphs are your conclusion to the paper. Summarize what you have just told your reader, then finish with an exciting few thoughts of your own!
DUE
This essay is due as soon as class begins - noon.
No late papers, no absences.
Bring drawing and/or paint utensils to class this upcoming Friday.
My best,
Dr. T.

Was using the word "penalized" a pun?
