*The skills you need for this assignment will be developed and practiced in discussions and other assignments throughout the term

*You will explore new resources for this assignment, and also reflect on what you've learned in the course, but this is not a traditional research paper

*You will apply concepts and skills you learn in the class to three different art forms

*Although Part 1 and Part 2 are not heavily weighted, they are required, so your instructor can offer guidance as you work on the project.
