This Assignment is Topic Development. The instructions and outline for Nelson Mandela are below. I have chosen Nelson Mandela to write about. I have to use arts such as music, literature, and art to show how these things express the life of Mandela. In my outline I have chosen literature, music, and the art I am using.
Now, for Part 2 of the project, you should identify three expressions of the theme in three different humanities disciplines (visual art, music, dance, poetry, prose, theater, film, religion) that you will discuss in your final essay. For instance, if you choose the emotion of "love," you could talk about love as it is expressed in Shakespeare's Sonnet 147 (literature), Boticelli's Birth of Venus (visual art), and in the ballet Swan Lake (dance).
- Find good representations (a good-quality image, recording, video, etc.).
- Identify the source
- Explain briefly why you find each of these appealing to include in this assignment.
