Unit
5 assignment HU250
For this Assignment, you will complete either Option A (an
analysis of Renaissance music) or Option B (an analysis of the Sistine Chapel).
You will share your experiences with two pieces of music or with the Sistine
Chapel beginning from your first impressions, then after research and analysis.
The Assignment should help you to see how reactions to art can be valuable from
the start, and can change and evolve with more information, deeper
consideration, and application of concepts that are learned.
Select either Option A or
Option B, but either choice will require completion of Parts I, II, and III. If
you select option A, you must select two pieces of work from Renaissance
composers in this week’s reading, such as Madalena Casulana, Adrian Willaert,
or Heinrich Isaac. The work can be found online and in the MyArtsLab.
Option A: Renaissance Music
Part I A: Introduce the two pieces of Renaissance music you have
selected and the composers. Then listen to the works. As you experience the
music on this first occasion, take note of your impressions. You should write
at least one page about your first reactions to the music, how you relate this
work to music you have heard before, and what emotions and memories come to
mind as you listen.
Part II A: Do research on the two pieces of music and/or the composers.
Using two credible sources, report for at least 1 page on the hypothesis or
elements of music that are featured in your research. What do some experts say
about the Renaissance music’s purpose, and the impressions it might leave on a
listener?
Part III A: Finally, you’ll bring together your first impressions with
the research and listen to the music again. What changes when you add more
information to your analysis of the music? Which reactions remain with you from
your first experience, and why do you think they are important? Talk about the
experience of studying music beyond first impressions.
Option B: Sistine Chapel
Part I B: Take a virtual tour of the Sistine Chapel through the
Vatican website. You can view the whole room, toggle up and down to study the
ceiling and walls, and you can also zoom in to take a closer look at the work.
As you experience the Chapel on this visit, take note of your impressions. You
should write at least 1 page about your first reactions to the art, how you
relate this work to art you have seen before, and what you emotions and
memories come to mind as you view the Chapel.
Part II B: Do research on the Sistine Chapel. Using two credible
sources, report for at least one page on the hypothesis or elements of art that
are featured in your research. What do some experts say about the Sistine
Chapel, its purpose, and the impressions it might leave on a viewer?
Part III C: Finally, you’ll bring together your first impressions with
the research and visit the Chapel again. What changes when you add more
information to your analysis of the Sistine Chapel as a work of art? Which
reactions remain with you from your first experience, and why do you think they
are important? Talk about the experience of studying art beyond first
impressions.
For either option A or B,
the paper should be at least 4 pages and cite at least two credible sources.
Write with substance about the experiences. Be specific. Analyze both the music
or art and your encounter with it.
The Assignment should be at
least 750 words. You may follow the Assignment template in Doc Sharing. Follow
the formatting guidelines put forth in the APA style of writing, and structure

supporting paragraphs, and a conclusion. Submit the project to the Dropbox when
it is complete.
