Assignment: Analyze the impact of politics on two works of
creative arts in the 20th century using examples from different forms of
art–visual arts, music, literature, theater, film, dance.
For example, I could write about Picasso’s
painting “Guernica” and about Gil Scott Heron’s poem “The
Revolution Will Not Be Televised” because they are different forms of
art.)
Your essay should be a standard
essay–Introductory paragraph, then discussion of first work of art and
politics, second work of art and politics, then a conclusion.
Make a strong first impression with an
interesting title –do not title your paper Critical Thinking Essay 1–and
start with a good introduction. First impressions matter.
