Components of the Assignment:

Reading 1: Carol Duncan and Allan Wallach, “The Universal Survey Museum,” Art History 3 no. 4 (1980): 448-469. (Quercus)
Reading 2: Dana Arnold, chapter 3, “Presenting Art History,” in Art History: A Very Short Introduction.
Visit to the Art Gallery of Ontario in Toronto

Description of the Assignment: In your essay, you will 1) apply Duncan and Wallach’s arguments to the architecture and spatial arrangement of the Art Gallery of Ontario. 2) evaluate 2 specific installations (see list below) in the museum as evidence of the AGO’s responsiveness to racial/national/indigenous/feminist/non-Western critiques of the “universal museum” described in Duncan &Wallach’s essay. A successful essay will integrate the two parts of the assignment.

For background on Canada’s history, with reference to its indigenous peoples, and efforts to address historical injustices, see:

About the AGO: Founded in 1900, the AGO is a municipal art gallery, funded with public and private funds. Until recently, its collections focused on European and North American art (a survey of “western” art). Ancient art, the arts of Asia, Africa, Latin American, and Australia were not part of its collections for decades. The AGO has been through several building phases, the last of which saw a new façade, additions to the entrance sequence, and a large addition to the back adding an upper floor by Frank Gehry (2008). An important part of the original building is visible inside in the Walker Court, where Frank Gehry also made a visible intervention.

Essay Part 1: The Ritual of the AGO. In this part of the essay, evaluate the AGO as an example of a universal survey museum, as analyzed by D & W. Evaluate the kind of ritual the AGO creates for the viewer by means of the architecture and objects installed in its entrance sequence.

For Part 1 Analysis of the following elements is required: a) Entrance space with Michael Snow sculpture b) Walker Court and c) Gehry Staircase Spaces (see map of Ground Floor for the spaces in pink).

Essay Part 2: What is the AGO’s subject position? In this part of the essay evaluate the AGO’s participation in and redress of implicit ideological positions in specific installations in the museum (see list below) D & W describe the formation of the museum – which was implicitly white, male, and Western – and the enactment of a civilizing process through the history of art. In Part 2, consider whether the AGO is a universal survey museum and whether it has reconsidered the white/western/male narrative characteristic of that museum type’s history. Look for those exclusions, and new inclusions, with attention to how they are presented in 2 of these works of art or galleries:

For part 2, analysis of 2 of the following 6 installations is required:

1. Magical and Talismanic Art in Ethiopia A small one-room temporary exhibition of “medieval art” from Ethiopia (listen to the 5-minute video of a discussion by curators)
2. Gallery 136 “Europe’s Dilemma” (modern art). Who is represented in this gallery? Inclusions and exclusions?
3. Gallery 115 Bronze Crucifix by Gian Lorenzo Bernini (1650s) and three photographs by Rebecca Belmore (contemporary), an artist of indigenous descent.
4. Gallery 126 “Canadian Art of the early 1900s”: Specifically Emily Carr, Church in Yuquot Village (1929) and Sonny Assu, Re-Invaders: Digital Intervention of an Emily Carr Painting (2014).
5. Gallery 234 (2nd floor): “Indigenous (Canadian) art II”: Specifically: Kent Monkman The Academy (2008)
6. Gallery 227 Esmaa Mohamoud, A Seat Above the Table (2018)

These spaces are marked in green on the map

Installations #3-#5 are newly acquired works by indigenous artists. The arts of the indigenous peoples of this land were collected by the Royal Ontario Museum for their “ethnographic” collections (alongside natural history specimens), rather than by the AGO, an “art museum”. The AGO’s collections were primarily European and North American painting until relatively recently, when new geographical regions and the arts of the indigenous peoples of Canada began to be actively collected.

For context about the indigenous peoples of Canada and the Truth and Reconciliation Committee’s 2015 articles that inform the museum’s installations see:

https://www(dot)cbc(dot)ca/news/entertainment/museums-review-indigenous-representation-1.5101817

https://en(dot)wikipedia(dot)org/wiki/Truth_and_Reconciliation_Commission_of_Canada

How to proceed:

READ the Duncan & Wallace essay carefully, taking notes and summarizing its main arguments for yourself. You might write up a page or two of principal points just about the article before turning to the AGO part of the project.

READ Chapter 3 of Dana Arnold’s Art History: Very Short Introduction, which concentrates on the institutions of art history, including museums. Because she discusses the history of museums and some contemporary examples, it will help you formulate questions about the AGO. Jot down the questions that you would want to answer at the AGO. Arnold’s chapter makes one aware of the significance of when a museum was founded; what its goals might have been at the time; how its collections come into being. This isn’t a research project — you are not expected to answer these questions about the AGO. And you are not allowed to use any research materials -– base your essay entirely on the museum itself.

STUDY THE PLAN (see PDF in Quercus Module) Before visiting the museum itself in person study the plan of the museum that is also online: https://ago(dot)ca/visit/gallery-map. Analyze it. How much space is given to European art, Canadian art, First Nations art, African art, Latin American art, Asian art. How does the AGO comply with the museum types discussed by Duncan and Wallach?

The appreciation of art requires more than an analysis, comprehension, and critique of individual art pieces. It also requires an understanding of how each piece relates to one another in a limited space as well as how other external aspects (i.e., lighting, descriptions, and people) interacts with one another in order to form a holistic approach that constitutes the totality of art. This idea of a holistic approach could easily be seen in museums. Museums (and their exhibits) are created in such a way that each element or piece are fitted perfectly with one another in order to ensure the most satisfying viewer experience. As stated by Duncan and Wallach, “For the most people in western society, the very notion of art itself is inconceivable without the museum” . Accordingly, this article would focus on how art pieces could be appreciated using this kind of holistic approach by looking at the Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO). To illustrate this, an analysis of the spatial and architectural elements of AGO would first be discussed following an analysis of two (2) installations that could be found in the said museum. All in all, the author believes that through an in-depth analysis of the different elements that can be viewed in the AGO, a richer experience could be gleaned by every viewer.

The Art Gallery of Ontario

The Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) is a municipal gallery located in the downtown area of Toronto, was founded in the 1900s. While there are a variety of the displays and exhibits that could be found in the said location, the AGO’s collection is primarily focused on European and North American Art.

At the entrance of the AGO, an S-shaped stair set in the middle of the antechamber could be found. This stair funnels the flow of people to let people walk from two sides and avoid the effect of visual overcrowding. The said design also also makes a coherent boundary with the stairs at back portion of the same chambers. Behind the stair, an abstract sculpture created by James Carl, entitled Jalousie(pink) (2009) lies equally at the middle of two walls. This sculpture looks like an abstract female torso based from its shape alone. Accordingly, its main color is pink and is decorated with specks of red, yellow and blue creating a vibrant combination of colors that piques that attention of any viewer. The color tone also represents the gender of the sculpture. Behind the Jalousie sculpture is the stairs through the second floor. There are two stairs on each side use the left and right sides are the symmetrical layout giving visitors a sense of calm and safe atmosphere.

Case Study A (50%): Marlie carries on a business of selling new and used lamps. In 2009, she obtained an operating line of credit from the Bank of Nova Scotia. Marlie gave the bank a security interest in all her present and future assets. Jordan is a dealer in imported chandeliers. He and Marlie agree that he will give her possession of a dozen chandeliers to sell on his behalf. Marlie is not obliged to pay for the chandeliers unless she keeps them for more than 30 days. Marlie goes into default on her loan. The bank seizes all of her inventory, including the 12 chandeliers. Jordan finds out about the seizure and demands the chandeliers, saying that they are his, but the bank disputes this. Is Jordan entitled to get the chandeliers back? Structure your answer following the Marking Rubric below. Marking Rubric Marking Criteria Mark 1. In relation to the contest between the bank and Jordan, identifies the legal question in relation to the chandeliers, which is raised by the scenario. /10 2. Identifies and explains the possible legal relationship between Jordan and Marlie that may benefit Jordan and why it would benefit him. /10 3. Identifies the factual elements, which must be proved to show the existence of the legal relationship referred to above. /10 4. Analyzes the scenario to see if the factual elements referred to above are present. /10 5.

One of his female employees has made a complaint to the Alberta Human Rights Commission against Luke concerning gender discrimination and sexual harassment in the workplace. The employee alleges that she and the other women lifeguards were recently forced to wear newly issued skimpy company bikinis instead of the previous one-piece suits while performing their lifeguarding duties. Those who refused would be given last choice on shifts (which, practically speaking, meant that they would be getting no shifts). The complainant protested to Luke but eventually gave in since it was too late in the summer to find another job. Additionally, the employee claims that, since the female staff was forced to wear the bikinis, Luke drops in constantly for site visits. His visits with females are more frequent and much longer lasting than with male staff. In fact, it is alleged that these visits have earned him the nickname of “Leering Luke.” Several female employees have told Luke that they find his behaviour unwelcome and are uncomfortable wearing the bikinis. Luke knows about his nickname but stands behind his policy. According to Luke, business has increased and, as a result, there has been more to “supervise” at each visit. Explain the concepts of gender discrimination and sexual harassment. Identify facts in the scenario which may support the employee’s claim and consider what other unstated facts, if proved, might also provide support. Identify a defense that Luke may raise. State your conclusion whether the situation involved discrimination or harassment, referring to the relevant facts and the strength of the defense.

We need to research and write about a biological influence and psychological/social influence on a chosen facet of sexuality. I have attached a topics list to pick from. I would prefer the topic “pair bonding” but it is largely up the the writer based on the sources they find. We need to find four primary sources to cite to support our claims, two primary sources to support the biological influence on our facet of sexuality and two primary sources to support the the psychological/social influence. I’ve also attached assignment instructions and the rubric, and an APA guide.   PSYCH 204 HUMAN SEXUALITY Research Assignment Instructions Select one facet of human sexuality (e.g., sexual orientation, gender identity, attraction) and discuss BOTH of the following: • A biological influence on your chosen topic • A psychological or social influence on your chosen topic The purpose of this assignment is to help you develop insight into the biological, social, and psychological perspectives that inform issues of human sexuality. As we have seen, many topics in this course are multifaceted and have multiple influencing factors. Examples of topics and hints about what would make an appropriate topic are posted to D2L. The assignment is worth 16% of your final grade. Without approved documentation, late assignments will be penalized 10% per day, including weekends. Documentation must be submitted before the deadline to be considered. Citations You will need to cite two primary sources for the biological influence and two primary sources for the psychological/social influence, for a total of four primary sources. A primary source includes a book or a peer-reviewed journal article. Using a magazine (such as Scientific American) is not a proper peer-reviewed source and will not get you full marks. Do not use Wikipedia for your references, as Wikipedia is open to edit by anyone and is not peer-reviewed. Remember that you MUST cite every idea that you write about that is not your own. Even if you just cited the same source in the sentence before. When in doubt, include a citation. It is better to paraphrase an idea than to directly quote it – use direct quotes sparingly and only when they are really necessary for impact. Remember though that when you paraphrase it is still an idea from another source and it must be cited. Format The total assignment will be a maximum of four pages, not including your cover page and reference (i.e., up to six pages altogether including the cover page and reference page). Use Times New Roman, 12 pt font, double spaced. Use 1” margins on the page. You must follow proper APA formatting to get full marks (details about APA formatting are posted to D2L)

Please respond to Michael, and Destiny about their post in 2 different paragraphs as if you were me. Not in 3rd person. Minimum 100 words each paragraph. Michael Kenny For this week’s discussion, I am going to focus on providing guidance on making a school safer through utilization of CPTED. The first thing that I would ask the school district to consider, is the installation of cameras all throughout the facility. In my experience, I have found that individuals tend to behave better knowing that the entire school is under constant video monitoring. The pdf from our week 4 reading “CPTED 101: The Fundamentals for Schools,” provides excellent information on how to make new and existing schools safer through CPTED by offering, “three simple concepts: surveillance, access control, and territoriality.” These three concepts would be my next focus in presenting resolutions to their safety concerns for the school. Surveillance refers to the ability of the school personnel to see throughout their school. Can they see who is coming or going? Are there large brick walls that block “hiding spots” or restrict ability for staff to see who is sneaking in or out of the building? If so, those walls should be replaced with windows or slotted gates that provide visibility. Large or overgrown trees and shrubs should be cleared and cut back as well to provide easy viewing inside and around the building. Any areas that may be good hiding spots throughout the building should be removed entirely or, “install convex mirrors to provide visibility around corners” (CPTED 101.pdf). Surveillance also encompasses the lighting throughout the school. There are mixed opinions on wether or not a school should remain well-lit after hours, with some finding that a dark, unlit property provides a deterrence. I would personally suggest that the school be dark after hours and note, “School resource officers have found that good lighting made schools ideal hangouts after hours, while darkness discouraged kids from congregating” (CPTED 101.pdf). I would then advise the school district that access control is an absolute must for their school. All visitors should be directed to a single entrance that can be effectively monitored. All other entrances, to include windows, should be reconfigured, “so that they automatically lock when closed and only serve as emergency exits” (CPTED 101.pdf). An important factor to consider in designing the safety for a school is the necessity to call a lockdown in the event of emergencies, such as active shooter incidents. For this reason, it is very critical that access into the building is reduced to a single point of entry, with the ability for staff to see who is approaching lock down the school with a push of a button if necessary. Clear line of sight from the main office would provide that time and ability to see any threat, and installation of an auto-lock feature and public address system would provide sufficient ability to lock the entrance and signal a lock-down. Lastly, I would advise that territoriality be addressed. This is the process of establishing clear messaging of how the school is managed as well as clearly established boundaries around the property that let someone know they are on school grounds. This can be accomplished through well groomed hedges that line the property and signs that note “no trespassing on school property” after a certain time. In closing, I would advise that providing proper surveillance, access control, and territoriality will will most certainly create a safer environment to the school. Molinari, J. Week 4 reading. (2021, June 15( CPTED 101: Crime Prevention through Environmental Design – The Fundamentals for Schools. Northeastern University Destiny Hamilton When thinking about the violence and trying to ensure that schools are secure and safe, it takes careful planning and time to ensure top notch work to the last detail. Before the pandemic, students faced violence and the schools (some) really did not address the issue appropriately. The violence students faced were bullying, fighting,and cyber bullying. The way many schools were designed, with stairwells, sometimes students could easily walk into a bully who was standing around the corner and be attacked. Others were bold enough to push or forcefully hit the student causing her to fall and receive serious injuries. Fighting takes place in open and closed areas, preferably in closed areas such locker rooms or in the gym after classes were over for the day. Cyber bullying has been a problem that encouraged bullying and fighting. While in school bullies were able to still use the iPads, computers, and even their cell phones to harass and bully others. So with this knowledge, policies can be in place and enforced for those students who use the schools property to bully and/or harass students. Using the IP address for the computer or iPad, it can be traced to the student. Once identification is known, the device should be confiscated and the student expelled. Depending on the severity of the bullying or harassment, other charges can be given because the police can be called in. Many school districts look at this type of behavior when students are not in school as well. It would be recommended to the board and others to revamp the stairwells by tearing down the walls and have open stairs without the walls. The only thing would be the handrails which leaves all open space where everything can be seen. This would be an ideal to plan for building new schools. Another factor to improve or create would be surveillance cameras at everydoor entrance. There should the same type of cameras at the doors inside the gym, cafeteria, even at the outside of these places. To respect the privacy of students cameras would not be inside the bathrooms or locker rooms. However there needs to be some at the entrances. While there are entrances around the schools to be used as fire escapes these doors should be the type that have silent alarm when it is opened or someone props it open for unlawful entrance or exit. The cameras would have the person on camera to help identify the person or persons. There needs to be one entrance to go in and out of the school. Cameras would be in place at each entrance along with metal detectors to pass through. In the office, any person who will be moving through the school will have to get a pass with his or her picture on the pass which is taken after signing in. This is to be worn on the clothing to be seen and identified as having permission to be going to a designated class or area. These are just some thoughts as to how our schools can be made safer.

Assignment 1: The Annotated Bibliography – Due Week 3 Project Overview: For this project, you’ll choose a food or drink item, a cuisine, an invention, or an idea, and then research how four geographic concepts are related to and affect your topic. Instead of presenting your research as a traditional paper, you’ll use PowerPoint to create a narrated presentation. Your presentation will be structured like a paper, including a title, introduction to the topic, main body, summary and conclusions, and references. Creative use of properly cited graphics and photos from the Internet relevant to your topic is required. First, choose a food item, cuisine, invention, or idea that interests you. Some will have more information available about them than others, so it’s worth doing some investigation before you settle on one. If you’re not sure if your desired topic is appropriate, please feel free to ask! Once you have selected your topic, you will then do research to see how each of the following geographic concepts affects or is related to your topic:1. Regions 2. Cultural Landscape 3. Diffusion 4. Distance decay. The first two concepts are covered in the first chapter of your textbook. Diffusion is covered in Chapter 8, Section 2 (page 484). Distance decay refers to the fact that influence and interaction between locations decreases as the distance between them increases. As such, it has a significant influence on how things change as they diffuse away from their point of origin. Be sure to address these specific geographic terms and concepts in your work. You don’t need to address them in this order, but you do need to address all of them. You may use “subsets” of these definitions (e.g. contagious diffusion) if such subsets exist. Be sure to refer to your text and other reliable resources to ensure you completely understand these concepts. You should be detailed in your treatment of these concepts – for instance, you should explain both how and why your choice varies by region, and how and why it has been affected by distance decay. Remember that geography, as an academic discipline, seeks to explain why things vary from place to place, not just describe how they do. You will complete this project in 3 separate assignments: an annotated bibliography, an outline, and your final presentation. In this assignment, you will complete your annotated bibliography. Completing the project in separate assignments allows you to work your way up to the final presentation, and provides opportunity for feedback along the way. Assignment Objective: Assess sources for your research for your final presentation (for credibility, reliability, and relevance) and list references in proper APA format through the creation of an annotated bibliography. Assignment Instructions: An annotation is a summary and evaluation, and your annotated bibliography will include a summary and evaluation of some of the sources (or references) you will use for your presentation. To prepare for this assignment, I recommend that you do the following: Read these directions carefully. Review the sample annotated bibliography provided to you below. Read the grading criteria below.The grading criteria is a detailed evaluation that I will use to assess your performance. It also will help you understand what is expected you as you prepare your assignment. Message me with any questions! The reason the annotated bibliography is included as part of the research project is that writing an annotated bibliography provides excellent preparation for the final presentation. One of the issues regarding any type of research is the credibility of the sources used, particularly those obtained from various websites. By forcing you to evaluate your potential sources carefully, the annotated bibliography helps you determine if the sources you chose are credible and relevant to your topic. It will also help you understand the topic better, which will help you develop your presentation. For this project, you will assess three sources to include: 1) a complete citation for each source, 2) a summary of each source, and 3) an evaluation of each source. Three sources are required for this assignment (i.e., you are to write an annotation for each source). However, you must use five or more sources in your final presentation. Use the TEMPLATE below to summarize and evaluate each of your three sources. Citation: Written in APA reference list format. For more help with formatting, see APA handout Summary: What is the purpose of the source, review article, original research? What topics are covered? This section is generally 3-5 sentences that summarize the author’s main point. For more help, see this link on paraphrasing sources. Evaluation: After summarizing the article (or research paper or book), it is necessary to evaluate it and state where you found it – its source (e.g.,journal, website, etc.). Briefly answer the following questions in 3-5 sentences: What is the format or type of source (e.g., peer-reviewed journal paper, website, book)? How reliable is the information in the article, and how credible is the source (e.g., website’s sponsoring organization, journal or book publisher) and the author(s)? For more help, see this handout on evaluating resources. Additional Resources: Please see the resources below at The Owl at Purdue site for more information on how to write an annotated bibliography as well as other pages on the site to assist you with the other parts of the research paper: Annotated Bibliographies Annotated Bibliography Example Annotated Bibliography Samples Evaluation: Please review the Annotated Bibliography Grading Criteria below that describes how your annotated bibliography will be graded. Software: As an APUS student, you have free access to Microsoft Office for both Windows and MacOS, which includes Microsoft Word and PowerPoint. Submission Instructions: You must submit your Annotated Bibliography as a “Microsoft Word” document using the template provided (rather than a Word Pad, Works, etc. document) AND title your file name as FirstInitialLastname_Assign1.doc. Browse for the file you want to submit by clicking Add a File. You can attach files from your local computer or storage device, a personal locker, a group locker, or Brightspace ePortfolio. Enter any comments you want to submit with the file. Click Submit. add: Hey please feel free to switch the topic if you can research something better! I would for it to stay a cuisine preferably i.e curry, pasta Please write about a particular cuisine with respect to the 4 areas in the instruction

Your task this week is to choose your favorite course concept or term that we’ve covered thus far. You might choose a term that you find particularly interesting, something that you didn’t know before, something that’s a little unique…whatever you want. The only term you cannot choose for this exercise is “globalization.” Anything else is fair game. Once you’ve chosen your term or concept, I’d like you to create a meme that reflects the concept. Include your meme in your post. Then, briefly (in one paragraph) explain your meme. Why did you pick this term, what are you trying to convey in your meme. Be original and creative. You won’t be able to see your classmates posts until you post so duplicate concepts will not be penalized. Your meme and explanation paragraph must be your original work. Term: Free Trade

It is me again. This time, i need some help to write an About Me page (i have previous written three examples differently, so you can have some content when writing it). This is an English course, where the grades will be given based on English Hooks, Branding, Tone, Voice (e.g. when you write the course you studied, you need to also include something like what is the purpose you pick that course). Anyway i will list down the requirements below, and attach a copy of my About Me so you can use the content. Oh yah, i need this before 21 February, please help me out, i just need around 200-220 words. Title: Create an action-packed About page Requirement 1. Tell your story in about 200 words. You can either revise one of your draft, or write a new “about me” story. 2. Feel free to add quotes about yourself from a family member or friends if you wished. 3. This is an About Page, but also “My story” 4. At this point, you’re probably thinking about how your personal description can be made more visually engaging as an About page on your site. 5. At the end of the day, this About Me story will be posted on a website. 6. Grade will be based both on (a) how well you revise your written description and (b) whether your visual layout is attractive and a good match for your story. Writing Goal: Turn your personal description into a capsule story for your About page. In this story of your life, convey only the most relevant details and (perhaps) a few fun quirks and twists. Design Goal: We’ve asked you to add a photo of yourself, but consider adding other images as well. Also, think about other ways to make the layout attractive: subheadings, pullquotes, or highlighed text blocks. Hint: If you add an interview quote from a friend or family member, that’s a good chance to try out a different text format.

Why does Coser believe that conflict is good for society? Discuss a real-life example in which a social conflict followed and lent support to Coser’s theory. Discuss a real-life example of the Thomas Theorem: “If men define situations as real, they are real in their consequences.” What does this mean to you? How can it be applied to the example you’ve identified? “Conflict theory” derives from the critical work of Karl Marx on economic inequality under capitalism; Coser’s analysis comes from structural-functionalism. How might social conflict be understood using symbolic interactionism? Come up with and discuss an application of this theory to the question of conflict.
