WRITE A BIOGRAPHY ABOUT YOUR ARTIST.
you must also provide links to least two (2) outside sources that expand the discussion about the artist you have found in the textbook.
1. This assignment must be in either APA or MLA format (abstract not required), with all sources cited/noted. 2. Full name of artist 3. Dates of artist’s life. 4. Place and date of artist’s birth. 5. Name of at least three works of art by the artist. 6. Specific medium for which the artist is known. (silver gelatin, wet plate collodion, cyanotype, digital, etc.) 7. Overview of artistic career. Country and city the artist work for in most of her/his caree (this should be the bulk of the paper) 8. Historic movement with which the artist is associated as well as influences the artist may have had. 9. The art movement or period of history with which the artist is associated
Medium The medium must be specific. For the purposes of this class, “photography”, “painting”, “sculpture”, “print” are not acceptably specific. Within each of those categories are many specific possibilities. Students must explain (in detail) the specific method of photography, painting, sculpture, or print employed by the artist.
Media specific to photography The medium is not “camera” or “black & white”. Students must note the TYPE of camera, and go beyond mentioning digital or film. Get very specific. Different types of film and digital cameras exist. This is part of the research that YOU are supposed to be doing. Additionally, prints can be made in many different ways. Black and white prints can be made with silver on gelatin (or on gelatin coated paper, with platinum & palladium, gold, iron, with other noble metal salts). Color prints can be made with many chemicals upon many substrates. Inkjet printers are an option, but still must be listed more specifically.
Art (historical) Movement Again, need more specific research into this. Photography is not a specific enough movement. There are developments and movements within photography, just like there are specific historical movements within painting, sculpture, printmaking, etc. When in doubt, give more information and turn it into a discussion (instead of a simplified proclamation). Notation Whether you use APA or MLA, you must make notes with the body of the text. College-level work is not a book report. If you use an idea (whether a direct quote or indirect/paraphrased idea) you must note its source, along with the text that you are writing. Colloquialisms should NOT be used for writing your papers.
Women’s Rights- What influenced the beginning of the women’s rights movement? What influenced the women who led the women’s rights movement? Which women became leaders? Where were they from? Why were they able to gain a public role? What kind of opposition did women in the early women’s rights movement face?

Citations: Your paper must include a separate Works Cited page in MLA format with complete citations for each source you used. These sources must also be cited in the body of your paper in parenthetical references (in-text citations).
Essay Structure: Your essay should have an introductory paragraph with a thesis statement as the last sentence in the paragraph, several well-organized supporting paragraphs, and a concluding paragraph that sums of the main points of your paper and demonstrates to your reader that the thesis has been proven.
Quotations: Be sure that any and all text you have copied directly from a source is in quotation marks and is followed by a parenthetical reference. When you have paraphrased from a source, you must also use a parenthetical reference. Please limit your quoted material to 15% of the total word count of the paper. This means that the other 85% of your paper needs to be paraphrased from your sources or your own critical analysis.
Imagine you are a civil rights activist in the United States or an anti-colonial activist in the Caribbean, Ghana or South Africa in the 1960s.

Instruction of this module
Civil Rights Struggles around the Globe: This module explores the diverse modes of black resistance to white oppression in the United States, South Africa and the Caribbean throughout the twentieth century. From the 1920s through the 1940s, many black American activists (especially artists) joined the Communist or Socialist Party because they believed racial equality was connected to the political empowerment of working-class people of all racial backgrounds. This interracial, class-based solidarity spread throughout the United States and connected black Americans to working-class people of all races around the world.
Radical, black American performers and activists such as pianist Hazel Scott and actor Paul Robeson put on concerts abroad (especially in Europe), and they practiced black internationalism as they used their celebrity status to tell the world about racial discrimination and violence in the United States in order to shame the US government into reforming.
By the mid twentieth century, such radicalism gave way to the classic Civil Rights Movement in the United States--ranging from non-violent protests to armed self-defense. As the Civil Rights Movement gained momentum in the US, the anti-colonial movement against European oppression and in favor of independent, black-run governments spread throughout the Caribbean and the continent of Africa.
Reading: All reading covers the political activism and lives of radical black intellectuals including Barbados-born Communist political activist Richard B. Moore, Trinidadian-born Communist activist Claudia Jones, Socialist Party sympathizer Paul Robeson, American-born black advocate of armed self-defense Robert F. Williams, Pan-Africanist and first president of independent Ghana Kwame Nkrumah, and anti-apartheid leader and member of the African National Congress, Nelson Mandela.
Abraham Lincoln is considered by many historians to be the greatest American president. His drive to end slavery and to unify the nation was at great personal cost. For this assignment, you will analyze two important primary sources authored by Abraham Lincoln.
Read the following primary source documents:
* The Emancipation Proclamation * The Gettysburg Address
In your analysis, answer the following questions:
* What is Lincoln’s perception of liberty and equality?
* Why did Lincoln place so much importance on the destruction of slavery and the continuation of one nation?
* What examples from both The Emancipation Proclamation and the Gettysburg Address demonstrate both civil liberties and civil rights?
