Attend an arts event. This can include viewing an exhibition at a museum or gallery, listening to a  live musical performance, attending a theatrical performance, listening to or participating in a  poetry reading, or attending an artist lecture. You can also listen to a TED Talk about art. If you  choose to attend an event in person, calendars with events listings can be found on Blackboard. The  event that you attend does not need to be local. If you choose to attend an event on Blackboard, a  selection of TED Talks, museum exhibitions, musical performances, and other art experiences are  listed on Blackboard. 

Write at a one-and-half page essay (double-spaced, 12-point Times New Roman font, one-inch  margins) on your experience at the event. Be sure to include the following: 

1- Identify the event, the date it took place, its location, and artists involved. 

2- What type of art the event included (visual art, music, theatre, literature, lecture, etc.) 

3- Your response to the event: what did you learn from it? Did you enjoy it? What in particular  did you find compelling or challenging? 

4- Comparison to artwork discussed in class: compare the work to any artist, movement, visual  art production, musical or theatrical work, or literary work discussed in class.
