Humanities 1000

Aesthetic Encounter Report

Assignment Sheet

As one of the requirements for Humanities 1000, you will write two reports about aesthetic encounters in which you “participate” (defined as sustained, undivided attention) this semester. Before beginning an encounter, consult with me to see that it is an acceptable topic for the assignment. Museums, art exhibits, and religious exhibits that deal with human cultures from any era will generally be approved. Simple literary analysis is never appropriate for this assignment. Also, extra credit activities may not “count” as aesthetic encounters.

Your encounter should have three sections:

The Facts. Answer the reporter’s questions. Tell who, what, when, where, and why. Provide the information that would allow another person to engage in the same aesthetic encounter you did.

Interpretation and evaluation. Tell what you think about the meaning of what you saw or heard. Comment on technique and style. Use this section to give the audience a sense of how and to what extent the encounter measured up to your own aesthetic criteria.

Participation. Using specific examples, tell why the encounter succeeded or failed to maintain your sustained, undivided attention. Give a clear picture of why the encounter ultimately did or did not have an impact upon you personally.

Humanities 1000 is a collegiate level course, and I do hold certain expectations for collegiate level work. First of all, your reports need to be typed, double spaced, with a title at the top of the first page. In addition, take the time to follow the conventions of Standard Written English. While I will not mark Aesthetic Encounter Reports the same way I mark English 1102 essays, understand that no encounter that contains two or more fragments, comma splices, run-ons, and subject-verb agreement errors (in any combination) will receive a grade higher than a B. Likewise, no essay that contains four or more of those errors (in any combination) will receive a grade higher than a C.

The encounter, ideally, will be fun for you. Enjoy yourself, and consult me about any questions. The due dates are contained on the course calendar.
