This course covers historical and contextual referencing skills. It teaches students how to conduct research using electronic and printed sources, and how to interpret and analyze information to develop an understanding of creative influences. Students learn about modern art movements from the 20th century onward. They give presentations on topics like Cubism, Futurism, Expressionism, Abstract Art, and Pop Art. The course also covers cultural histories and teaches students to assess information and present conclusions effectively while considering moral and ethical research practices. Students complete two major assignments - a presentation on a modern art movement and artist, and an individual design project related to one of the studied movements.Framing and Finding Your Topic Spring 2019

This document is an introduction to the book "Visualizing Research: A Guide to the Research Process in Art and Design" written by Carole Gray and Julian Malins. It begins with a quote from Lewis Carroll's "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" that compares the experience of undertaking research to falling down a rabbit hole.
The introduction then discusses how undertaking research in art and design can be both exciting and challenging. It is exciting because new methodologies are being developed that locate reflective practice at the heart of inquiries. However, it can also be challenging because much of the research territory is uncharted.
To successfully navigate the challenges and opportunities of research, the introduction argues that three things are needed: passion,002 mapping your reflective practice

Psychoanalytic Analysis of The Black Cat by Edgar Allan Poe explores the deep psychological dimensions of the narrators disturbed mind through the lens of Sigmund Freuds psychoanalytic theory. According to Freud (1923), the human psyche is structured into three components: the Id, which contains primitive and unconscious desires; the Ego, which operates on the reality principle and mediates between the Id and the external world; and the Superego, which reflects internalized moral standards.
In this story, Poe presents a narrator who experiences a psychological breakdown triggered by repressed guilt, aggression, and internal conflict. This analysis focuses not only on the gothic horror elements of the narrative but also on the narrators mental instability and emotional repression, demonstrating how the imbalance of these three psychic forces contributes to his downfall.More Related Content

Framing and Finding Your Topic Spring 2019
- 1. Framing the Context: Search Strategies for Defining and Exploring Your Topic Melanie Sellar and Anthony Raymond, Santa Clara University Library, Spring 2019
- 2. Welcome! Workshop Goals Today 1. Identify and describe different types of source tools. 2. Compare the types of sources found in different search tools. 3. Learn and practice strategies for narrowing research topics
- 4. How to Find a Topic: Ideation
- 5. Post ideas for your final research projects in the Padlet. Go for quantity over quality, that's what the ideation process is all about. Take ~5 minutes. Exercise 1: Topic Ideation
- 6. After Topic Ideation: Next Steps If you can state your topic in 1-3 words, it is too broad Tip: narrow your topic by finding and adding 1-2 contexts: History / Time Period Specific community Particular Discipline Certain Aspect How? Pre-reading and identifying some of the conversations
- 7. Focus Your Topic: Context Examples History / Time Period Evolution of urban graffiti from criminal activity to art form Specific Community Graffiti as cultural expression by a particular community in a particular place Particular Discipline Sociology, Anthropology, Political Science, Religious Studies! Certain Aspect Role of graffiti as religious expression in persecuted communities Graffiti art as empowerment for [name of racial/ethnic community] youth Relationship between street art, graffiti, and muralism
- 8. Exercise 2: Topic Map Graffiti, culture, and youth (strategies: sociology, art, and education databases; newspapers)
- 9. Reminder!
- 10. Rhetorical Uses of Different Sources From the Library Website access databases and catalogs of:
- 11. Example Topic Map Original topic 1 2 3 45 6
- 12. Post 2 brief citations of sources you found that may be useful (or more!). State what kind of source they are (book? article? encyclopedia? newspaper?). Your names will appear with your answers. Exercise 3: Two Things
Editor's Notes
- #6: Topic development: Do a sample search on those two examples in OSCAR Simple and OneSearch OSCAR Simple Search: You get a lot of different type of documents, on different facets of the topic What kind of documents do you see? On what facets of the topic? Facilitate conversation on what you see, including how manageable their research paper would be if they used that topic OneSearch on the same topic: Lets do the same search. Before you commit to a topic, you need to do some reading and research
- #7: Possibly add a video here
- #8: Certain Aspect Role of graffiti as religious expression in persecuted communities Graffiti art as empowerment for [name of racial/ethnic community] youth Relationship between street art, graffiti, and muralism Aspect: choose one lens through which to view the research problem, or look at just one facet of it [e.g., rather than studying the role of food in South Asian religious rituals, study the role of food in Hindu ceremonies, or, the role of one particular type of food among several religions]. Exploring three major hubs of muralist activity in California, where indigenist imagery is prevalent, Walls of Empowerment celebrates an aesthetic that seeks to firmly establish Chicana/o sociopolitical identity i
- #9: Step 1: Pick one of the topics to brainstorm about the kinds of disciplines it may be useful to look at, and the types of sources that may be relevant. Step 2: Ask them to look at a list of sources on the homepage (and if needed under Find Articles ) and identify which ones could be good to find those kinds of disciplines and sources. Graffiti, culture, and youth (strategies: sociology, art, and education databases; newspapers)
- #11: attention to the rhetorical appeals: ethos, logos, pathos, kairos, and more You can use these sources differently to make different appeals E.g. newspapers: often good for pathos (emotional appeals) E.g. scholarly articles: often good for logos (logical appeals) E.g. scholarly articles, newspapers, books: ethos (authority appeal) and logos (logical appeals)
- #12: Maybe have a student share out their topic map (and brainstorm keywords?). Next, pick one of these trajectories in your map to begin going in deeper on. Youll keep using the databases. Spend 10-15 minutes. Youll be sharing out 2 promising results into our final exercise Padlet. Show students how to use Find it at SCU, how to identify and make use of Subject Terms to find articles, and how to cite an article.
