In Unit 6, you learned about the many forms of creative expression, including music, musical instruments, dance, drama, and others, and now it is time to explore your own creative talents. In this assignment, you will create an artifact where you are the artist. Some ideas to consider include:
Creating a dance or performing one.
Singing a song or writing one.
Playing an instrument
Reading a scene from a play, a poem, or a short story.
Creating a painting, drawing, or craft.
Cooking a favorite dish
Playing Mindcraft or other non-violent computer game
Organization:
Presentation:
In this artifact, your presentation will be determined by the talent you share. To record a literary reading, musical instrument playing, singing, or other performing arts, creating a video is a strong option. For painting, drawing, or craft work, taking images as the artifact develops and inserting those into a Powerpoint or a Prezi is a solid option. Use what format you are comfortable with, and visit this link for helpful tutorials.
You can also use phone apps or website apps to create music, make digital artwork, and many more. Some links to get you started:
Oceanwaves
A free music maker. https://www.oceanwaves.io/currents/SyBFxczTeuFvH3A67 Links to an external site.This website allows you to create music using a library of sounds, record it, and save it to your profile. From the profile, you click the link button and share that link in your assignment submission.
Sketchpad
For drawing, creating clip art collages, and other options, visit https://sketch.io/sketchpad/ Links to an external site.. This website allows you to freestyle using brush, pen, thin line, and other drawing options. It also has standard textbox options to capture your drawing and clipart and is free to use. Once complete, click on the three dots at the bottom left and choose ‘export.’ Select JPEG, give your work a title, save it to your computer, then upload through the assignment link.
Analyze:
the ‘how’ and the ‘why’ of the creative process. Did you find it challenging to decide what to create or how to create it? Think also about the feelings you had while creating. Could you feel the creative energy artists often talk about? How might that be an important stress reducer as you continue in your academic journey? (1 or more well-developed paragraphs)
Reflect:
on how the Humanities is made up of artifacts just like yours that present a unique expression of the human experience. Are you encouraged to create more artifacts after the course is over? (1 or more well-developed paragraphs)
Estimated time to complete: 3-4 hours

Unit 7 Assessment – Celebrating Your Contributions to the Humanities
/0 Comments/in /byYou ARE the Humanities
In Unit 7, you learned about some of the challenges facing the Humanities as we move further away from hand-created artifacts toward technology-assisted artifacts, and you have learned that is also a reason to celebrate as technology continues to provide creative equity in all areas of the arts.
In your final assessment, you will be creating an ePortfolio showcasing two artifacts you created and a reflection on your experiences creating for the Humanities.
Step 1
Decide on two of your artifacts from Units 2 – 6 that best represent your interests or talents in the Humanities and revise or edit as needed based on your instructor’s assignment feedback. Submit each revised artifact to the assignment link.
Step 2
Write a reflection of 3 to 5 well-developed paragraphs sharing your academic experience learning about other cultures and historical times as well as your creative experience in this course. Submit this reflection as an MS Word document through the same assignment link.
Some things to consider. Think about areas of the Humanities you are now interested in exploring further…whether you will go back to playing on your old keyboard, guitar, or another instrument…how knowing more about the societies and peoples that came before us allows us to celebrate humanity today.
If you use source material in your reflection (not required), please remember to cite sources using APA format and provide reference entries for every source used.
