Your response should be written using clear college level writing. Please review and revise before you submit to make your writing clear and error free.

Platy titles should be italicized or in capital letters.

In your descriptions provide details about the live event; name of actor or character, what the actor did or said.

The viewing of the live performance is our opportunity to connect the literature of the theatre to the live event. We will have spend the class time discussing the plays but it is important to experience the live theatre to completely connect ideas presented in class.

These questions should guide your response. Write your paper, edit and correct and then submit your answers through blackboard. The first and last questions should be approximately one paragraph. The second question will require two paragraphs.

1.     Provide background information. What was the title of the performance? When and where did you see it? In a few sentences describe the plot or the central problem? What type of play was it? What was the play’s message?

2.     Respond to the live event. Was the Performance successful in achieving the goals you discussed in question one? How and Why? Provide an example of how one actor helped make the play successful or unsuccessful through their performance. Provide an example of one production element (lighting, sets, costume, props) that helped support the production.

3.     Provide a recommendation. Was the experience worthwhile? Would you recommend it to someone else? Why or Why not?

Ideally, when you are working on a project, you would search your reference architecture framework and find a suitable reference architecture to use. But what happens if you cannot find one or if it would be too difficult to customize one?

In this case, you would have to create a new reference architecture. You would then catalog this new reference architecture in your organization’s reference architecture framework for future use.

Once you have a reference architecture, you would identify standards and related vendor product components that will help implement it.

In this Assignment, write a 4- to 6-page paper that addresses the following:

1. Develop and populate a reference architecture for the Adopt-A-Farm virtual business, based on your work in Weeks 3 and 4. Note that those diagrams focused on high-level analysis/design, and will aid in the creation of a high-level reference architecture.
2. Next, identify suitable vendor products for at least three elements of the reference architecture (specific to Adopt-A-Farm). Be sure to include the business capabilities of the products in your evaluation. Explain how you chose and evaluated each one.
3. Finally, develop implementation-level models or blueprints that incorporate these products (from your vendors) for the artifacts you previously created.

Unit VIII Course Project

Art Gallery: Commentary

For Unit VIII, the last segment of your art gallery course project, you will be adding a comprehensive statement to your PowerPoint presentation and finalizing your segments from the previous units. You will submit the entire presentation, including those portions from previous units, for a final grade.

In your comprehensive statement, present the last words on your art gallery. Summarize your thoughts and convey the larger implications of your art gallery. This is an opportunity to succinctly answer the so what? question by placing the presentation within the context of research about the topic you have investigated. Be sure to demonstrate the importance of your ideas. Do not be shy. The comprehensive statement offers you a chance to elaborate on the significance of your findings.

For this segment, use the slides in the art gallery template labeled “Comprehensive Statement.” A minimum of three PowerPoint slides are required; however, you are welcome to add as many as you feel you need. You may include more than one idea on each slide, but please do not overload the slides with information.

Be sure to address the following in your comprehensive statement:

 Describe what you learned about art in general.

 Describe what you learned about the art criticism theory.

 Describe what you learned about art’s role in society. 

 Citations and references are not a requirement for this section, but if you choose to use outside sources, they

must be cited and referenced accordingly.

 Although you do not need to add any new sources for the commentary section, you will need to ensure all APA

guidelines are followed for the presentation as a whole.

“Critique and Formal Analysis”

What is a critique?

A critique is an oral or written discussion strategy used to analyze, describe, and interpret works of art. Critiques help artists hone their persuasive oral and writing, information-gathering, and justification skills.
