Group projects (48 points total): For the final project for the course, you will be required to participate with a group of 4-5 students in the class on an independent project on an approved topic. Your group will select one work of art available on-line and consider it from the perspective of the various philosophers and theorists studied in Units I-III. You will be asked to identify on-line resources related to your project to recommend to the entire class and to post a clear statement of the issues and perspectives you will consider.
