This is a serious instance of Academic Misconduct by the student. In Florida, Essay Mill/Contract Cheating sellers are in violation of Florida Statute 877.17: “It shall be unlawful for any person or business entity to sell, offer to sell, or advertise for sale any term paper, thesis, dissertation, essay, or report” Read more
MIAMI AS TEXT
These are not diaries or summaries of experiences. Miami as Texts projects are academic reflections that see students utilize a personal experience in a place as a starting point to reflect on a broader social, cultural, or historical issue.
ART AS TEXT CONTEXT
The following contextual questions are only starting points for student Miami as Text academic reflections. The questions below are intended to foster reflection rather than dictate a specific subject. Students are encouraged to select a unique academic topic and are free to be as creative as they wish in the format they utilize. The topic, however, must be a subject discussed in class. Including accurate additional research is strongly encouraged.
Students must adhere to the Miami as Text format.
The contextual questions are listed in alphabetical order.
ART ENCOUNTER AS TEXT
You live in Miami. Perhaps you were born in Miami. But how well do you know the art culture of Miami? What do you know about the art of Miami? What do you know about contemporary art? Did you know Miami is one of the leading cities in the world for contemporary art? Why are you in this class? What image does art conjure in your mind? What are your expectations of class? What place or event are you most looking forward to visiting? Why?

NORTON MUSEUM OF ART
The Norton Museum of Art in West Palm Beach is unique to South Florida in that it contains a permanent collection that traces the development of Western European Art from the Early Renaissance to the Modernist movements of Twentieth Century France. Students are able to see the move towards naturalism in the Baroque and the following move towards abstraction in Impressionism and Cubism. Many historians summarize this by saying that the window (as if you were looking out a window-representational art) was replaced the object (the artwork became an abstract object with texture and exaggerated colors that refers to itself and not to an external reality). Many other topics were discussed, such as the nature of religious art, and the student can select the topic or artwork they wish.
