This assignment has two parts; please place both essays in one file. Arrange your thoughts in paragraph form, unless the directions of a particular module assignment are different. Ensure that your essays are grammatically and mechanically sound. Do not use excess verbiage such as “I think,” or “in my opinion.” Submit your assignment first through Grammarly before you submit it. If you use an outside source, use proper MLA form to document your source. Double-space your writings and use a 12 – 14 font. Save your essays in a file and submit that file in the appropriate assignment folder.

Prompt A:
What does it mean to be an “infinite” person? Describe either someone you know personally or a famous person in our culture who seems to fit that label. Are YOU an “infinite” person? If so, how? If not, why not? Please write between 2 – 4 paragraphs.

Prompt B:
Complete the following critical analysis in essay form:

1. Name either (choose only one) a contemporary painting, sculpture, movie, or live performance and its author that you feel is a good piece of work.
2. Describe the aesthetic qualities of this artwork as to why it is pleasing to you, or beautiful to you.
3. How does this work create empathy for you? Explain.
4. What is the purpose or intent of this work? (If you can’t determine the meaning or intent by viewing or experiencing this art, research its meaning.)
5. What is the “context” of this work? (Again, here you must complete some research. Who is the central artist? Why does she or he create in such a manner? Remember, this is the “backstory” of the artist.)
6. Do you think this work of art will someday be considered a masterpiece? Why or why not?
7. Will the author of this artwork be considered a “giant” of the arts? Why or why not?
