Here is Rules for selecting artwork

I find that making art - and then reflecting upon it - is a valuable pedagogical tool and an expression of artistic creativity at all times. This is why I ask you to create an artwork that is inspired by one of the themes we have covered in class. The aim of the exercise is to immerse you in an activity you already love doing - my definition of "art" is very broad here. It can be anything from drawing to recording city sounds, recording yourself playing an instrument, writing a poem, writing a blog, creating a podcast, creating a graphic novel, etc. If you have trouble coming up with one or you are unsure whether your idea is suitable for the assignment, please speak to me or your TAs.

I ask that the artwork you create have an auto-ethnographic component (i.e. that it have some personal relevance for you and in how you perceive yourself in community) examined through the lens of one social theory framework to which you have been exposed through course material and at least one core ethnographic example from the class. The social theory may, but need not, emerge from the same source as the ethnographic example. It could also be from another text or from lecture. The essay itself should illuminate the anthropological significance and cultural relevance of your artwork. As you think about how to create and analyze your artwork, address the following question:

1) What is your artwork and how did you choose it? What does it represent and why is it meaningful to you? Describe your artwork in your own words. (a draft of the answer to this question is contained in your proposal).

2) What connections does it have to your personal life/background and what meaning does this artistic practice have within your community (the one you were born in or the one you chose later in life)?

3) What type of cultural knowledge did you need to create this artwork? How does this knowledge manifest in the work itself?

4) What issue/problem/experience (social, cultural, political) does this work address?

5) What social theory have you chosen to help you?
