paper needs to be at least 1000 words, double spaced, 12 points, Times New Roman type font.

After watching the Art Terms (Part A- paintings) video (Week 1 folder) and Music Terms Video (Week 2 folder) you will go online and find a painting and on YouTube, a musical composition (classical or jazz, no contemporary music) performed in front of a live audience, and you will do research and analysis of them.

Part II -40 points
– Use the library online database and/or books to do research on the painter and painting you have chosen. Some of the topics you can research (you don’t have to research theses specifically) are the artists’ history, artistic influences, and art style of painting.
– Write 1 or more paragraphs about your findings based on your research. You need to use in-text
citations here.
– After the research paragraph(s) for the painting/painter of choice add a paragraph analyzing elements of the painting you have chosen (lines, hues, forms, etc). An art term video has been shared on the first-week folder and also the Starters Kit found at the beginning of the class
textbook goes over important elements of various art forms (although the video will teach you enough to complete this section). Analyze at least 5 elements of art in this section.

beginning of the class textbook goes over important elements of various art forms. Analyze at
least 5 elements of music in this section.
Part IV- 5 points
– Conclusion paragraph(s)
Part V – 10 points

article/book and then that source’s full citation needs to add to the Reference Page.

1. How often should you update your résumé? Within your response, explain the benefits of updating your résumé at your recommended times.

2. Respond to this post “Whether you are currently happy in your role or not, update your resume at least once a year. I say this because in the past year your role may have changed, you may have taken on my duties or responsibilities and if you were to update your resume when you NEED to, you may forget all the changes that have happened.
Keeping your resume fresh and up to date means having it ready when you need to. I have often found myself being head-hunted and needing an up-to-date resume, if you already have it saved, then it makes you look efficient and prepared for anything – which is immediately impressive to recruiters.”
