Write a three to four (3-4) page paper (750-1,000 words) that responds to each of the items described in the topic.

For the topic you choose:

1. Support your ideas with specific, illustrative examples. If there are questions or points associated with your chosen topic, be sure to answer all of the listed questions and address all of the items in that topic. If your topic asks you to do several things related to the topic, be sure to do each of the things listed.

2. While some of the topics tend to lend themselves toward particular writing genres, you are not restricted to the specific format suggested for the individual topic. For example, you may do an "interview," a "proposal," a "letter," a "short story," a "blog," an "essay," an "article," or any other written genre for almost any of the topics. The project is intended to be fun as well as informative, so feel free to be creative with the delivery of your information.

Topic choice:

• Office Art Memo. Memorandum.; Your boss, who knows you've been taking a humanities class since he pays for your tuition reimbursement, has tasked you with managing the art budget for your company, expecting you to choose various pieces of art for the new corporate offices.(Note: Replicas of the works are acceptable since they are more cost-efficient and you are working on a budget.)Include the following:

1. Identify three examples of 19th century Impressionist painting or sculpture and three Post-Impressionist works. Explain how the six pieces of art fall into these two styles.

2. In a memo, describe the appearance of your six choices to your CEO so he or she will know what the art looks like and where it would be placed in the corporate offices.

3. Explain why each piece is considered to be historically significant.

4. Explain how each piece "fits" your company's overall (or desired) corporate image. Keep in mind that a piece of art is supposed to "say" something about the owner, so describe what would these pieces of art say about your company.
