Question 1:

Question 1:

During the Renaissance and Baroque periods the type of patron diversified beyond the church to include private individuals, city governments, and corporate commissions, sponsored by entities such as the Wool Guild.  These patrons that were outside of the church were essential to artists to ensure their financial livelihood. Often artists, like Michelangelo, were forced to take commissions and complete works that they did not want to undertake.  In 3 well developed paragraphs, discuss:

  1. Michelangelo’s version of David was a public monument commissioned by the Florentine city council. How do you see the context of a city government as patron influencing how Michelangelo visualized the biblical hero David?
  2. The biblical hero David was a popular subject for sculpture and painting throughout the Renaissance and into the Baroque period. By studying, comparing, and contrasting sculptures of David created in the fifteenth, sixteenth, and seventeenth centuries, you can begin to see the stylistic changes that occurred across these centuries. In 3 well-developed paragraphs, compare and contrast the following 3 sculptures of David: 
    1. Early Renaissance: Donatello. David. 1446-1460 (Note: Scroll down to figure 20-14). 
    2. High Renaissance: Michelangelo. David. 1501-1504. (figure 21-10). 
    3. Baroque. Gian Lorenzo Bernini. David. 1623. (figure 23-4)

In your comparison, discuss:

  • What specific visual similarities do you observe in these three sculptures? 
  • What specific differences do you see? 
  • How has the attitude of David changed between these three representations of David? 

Be sure to explain your ideas clearly and support them by discussing specific works of art that you have read about this week, talking about how they illustrate and support your ideas.

Question 2:

In Northern Europe, the group portrait was a popular genre of painting in the Dutch Republic, and Rembrandt was in high demand as a portraitist. In 3 well developed paragraphs, discuss:

  1. How did Rembrandt revolutionize the group portrait? Examine his works The Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Nicolaes Tulp and The Company of Captain Frans Banning Cocq (The Night Watch)?
  2. Artists like Rembrandt and the other successful Dutch portrait artists laid the foundation for what today is seen as a proper or successful portrait. From the official portrait of Kate Middleton (2013) in England, to the portraits of US presidents, to those of CEOs in major corporations all owe a debt to the work of Rembrandt, Hals, and other seventeeth-century portrait painters. Locate 2 contemporary portraits and discuss the visual characteristics that are inspired by Rembrandt’s style.

Be sure to explain your ideas clearly and support them by discussing specific works of art that you have read about this week, talking about how they illustrate and support your ideas.

Assignment 2: Using Motivation to Improve Performance

Due Week 6 and worth 220 points

Motivation is a complex subject, but its understanding and application is central to the success of management and the organization. Imagine that the CEO of your organization (current or past) has tasked you with recommending actions to promote employee’s involvement. This is a very important task. We recommend you start by drafting an outline of you potential ideas. Thereafter, you can explain in detail your proposal to the CEO. The outline should not be a reiteration of motivation theory, but should provide succinct points that cover the key topics of motivation and provides a road map that management can implement to improve motivation within the organization.

HINT: Review Chapter 8, page 226. Also, you might want to think about a specific job or unit you worked previously.

PREWORK:

Review the following videos about how to create an outline:

 Watch the following videos as supplemental materials:

  1. Understanding what motivates and engages employees (3 min 58 s)
  1. Intrinsic and extrinsic motivation (4 min 17 s)
  1. Communicate to motivate (3 min 58 s)

 

Write a four to five (4-5) pages paper in which you:

  1. Create a one (1) page outline in which you select topics and subtopics around your recommendations to improve the employee’s involvement.
  2. Explain three (3) of the most critical topics you have included in your outline, and propose a potential course of implementation. (3-4 pages)
  3. Use at least two (2) quality academic resources you have located using the Strayer Library resources / databases in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia does not qualify as an academic resource, and neither do web-based blogs.
  4. Format your assignment according to the following formatting requirements:
    1. Typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides.
    2. Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page is not included in the required page length.
    3. Include a reference page. Citations and references must follow APA format. The reference page is not included in the required page length.

The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:

  • Analyze the relationship between the basic organizational behavior models of individual, group, and organizational processes, and the productivity of an organization.
  • Explain the variety of motivational theories and job design considerations.
  • Use technology and information resources to research issues in leadership and organizational behavior.

Education & Change

Review the following four samples of YouTube student projects on various aspects of education and social justice. After reviewing the video, construct a two- to four-minute presentation on what you have learned throughout this course. Using the course learning outcomes (CLOs) as your guide, create an audio visual way to represent these ideas. You may use Prezi, Storybird, YouTube, Vimeo, Animoto, or Stupeflix to create your video or presentation.

Get creative! You might consider the role of music in your video/presentation, including a song selection of your choice. Some presentations such as Present.Me allow you to embed a musical selection as background music. A more traditional slide-show presentation may yield better results if the name and artist of the song is shared. Recall how important music was for the activist movements from the Highlander Folk School. Once the two- to four-minute video is completed, post a link to it in the discussion board. Do not allow yourself to get lost in the technology. The most important part is the, content, effectiveness of your delivery of this information and your responses to peers.
