Select a work of any discipline of humanities (Art, Musical Theater, Dramatic Theater, Literature, Cinema), analyze the work using 5 or more concepts from this course. Be sure to include the name of the work, author/composer/director/artist and the year it was created. Describe the historical context relevant to this work (e.g. What was going on in the world that has impacted it?) Describe the artistic movement/genre or influences relevant to this work (e.g. Neoclassicism, Renaissance, Modernism, New Wave…)
Identify some philosophical, sociological, moral or religious concepts that may have influenced this work (e.g. concept of happiness, love, life affirmation, acculturation, etc.) Be sure to use some of the technical terminology relevant to your selected work (e.g. libretto, aria, leitmotif, romanticism, archetypes, neo-realism…) Be sure to clearly and accurately define the terminology by bolding the text with all terms and concepts used and follow up with an example of how this particular concept applies to the work you have selected.
These examples show how the terms and concepts explored in class can be used to inform the narrative and are bolded for their recognition; however, these examples do not align with the prompt’s required content for discussing the humanities through the arts. That part of the creative process is entirely up to the student.
EXAMPLE ONE
When discussing the importance of myths, Carl Jung has demonstrated that the ancient fables include archetypes that have been influential in understanding the human condition. These archetypes have found their way into psychoanalysis and popular culture. In regards to the latter, fairy tales in particular use archetypal roles to generate a collective consciousness of what is good and evil.

EXAMPLE TWO
The human thought process has evolved to include the assimilation of Western culture as a result of the cultural imperialism of Alexander the Great. His conquests would lead to the dismantling and/or eradicating of indigenous people’s cultures, replacing them with the Greek values he learned from the likes of Aristotle, Socrates, and Plato. This acculturation would give rise to ancient Greece being known as the cradle of Western civilization.
