Evolution or revolution? In the form of an information graphic, represent something that you learned in Birth of the Modern this semester in relationship to key issues, problems, and events in art and design resulting from the social and cultural changes occurring in the modern world.
Interpret your info graphic, and discuss whether you see the changes encompassed by modern art and design as more revolutionary or evolutionary.
Below is an example of an information graphic on reflection
*************************************************************************
Reflective thinking and writing are the best ways to understand what you have been learning and where that fits into your life. Information is meaningless until you do something with it and that always means that you have to figure out what you really learned, what was important about that material to you, and why”¦.that’s reflection.
What reflection is:
It is challenging critical thinking.
It is purposeful and guided.
It makes connections between the course and past courses, experiences and/or personal goals”¦
It is relevant and meaningful to both you and the course learning goals.
It demonstrates the ability to question your own biases, assumptions, and preconceptions and define new modes of thinking and making.
What reflection is not:
It is not a retelling or simple description.
It is not a vehicle to rant and rave.
It is not simple reaction.
It is often not tidy with clean closure.
It is not an incidental add on.
It is not a confession.
It is not touchy feely.
Let me know if you need more info.
