this video is going to help you find your first learning unit
you start by going to the assignments link and clicking there
then you are going to find your assignments and they are in
the form of learning units learning units are represented by these small
tabbed folders so you go ahead and open your second assignment
and what you will do is use the index that is over here on the left to take you through
all of the requirements of that assignment: of that learning unit
you start out by reading both your first and second chapters
when you are done reading your are going to be executing something called a chapter commentary
and to help you out I've got a sample of a completed chapter commentary that you can
download and take a look at to turn in your chapter commentary just go
to the 3rd link down and you are going to find that you can either type it
in directly or you can upload a document and I really recommend doing the assignment
on your own computer saving a copy and then uploading and submitting a document directly
here in the learning unit all right, after you have completed your chapter
commentary you are going to be reading a blog
and to get to that blog -- it is another blog that I wrote for you -- go ahead and click
on the link right here and you will be directed to that blog
it is a blog that talks about what it takes to appreciate a work
of art and it talks about the fact that being there is best
but there are other ways to appreciate a work of art
all right, when you are done with that you are going to be watching a short youtube video
it is about a 4 minute video that describes a work by Damien Hirst and
finally you are going to be discussing that work of art
and when you look here you'll find the prompt you'll find all of the things I would like
you to talk about when you discuss that work of art
take a look at those maybe even copy them in to your computer and then you are going
to go to the class discussion board where you will be able to open that discussion you
will be able to add a thread and you'll be able to participate in the discussion
one thing that is important about the discussions is that once they are completed I hope you
will go back in the following week and reply to at least what three other students have
said. I hope that was helpful.
