ART 101 University of Michigan Physical Violence Against Transgender Essay

Question Description

Your Task:

A Note About Content: the artwork shared in this assignment includes conversations about physical violence against transgender people, which I realize could be extended to anyone who has experienced abuse. I understand such topics are intense and can provoke visceral reactions, especially for those who have experienced trauma. Please do let me know if you have concerns about engaging with this content or wish to converse more about this before beginning this assignment. I will work with you to determine an alternative if needed.

Before beginning, please download the following documents, which you will use to complete this Tabula Rasa assignment:

Tabula Rasa Assignment Template( see attached file) (this is the document into which you will write your responses. Please make sure you complete each section)
Tabula Rasa #3 Information Document – Cassils (see attached file) (this is the document containing all the images, videos and information about Cassils’ artwork necessary to complete this assignment)

Please follow the instructions outlined above VERY CAREFULLY as you look at the documentation of Cassils’ three interrelated artworks titled “Becoming an Image,” “The Resilience of the 20%,” and “Monument Push” and follow the T.A.B.U.L.A. method to respond to the artworks and their background.

Criteria for Success:

I can’t emphasize the first step enough: TAKE TIME! Rushing through this assignment will result in superficial responses and research. In your writing for each step of the process you should demonstrate your openness and willingness to be stretched by the artwork. Your responses should be detailed and specific to show that you really are carefully looking at and responding to the artwork and all the background information you learn through the process. You can make use of things you’ve learned so far this week about Art and Identity as reference points to strengthen your approach to this artwork.

Below is the rubric that will be used to evaluate your Tabula Rasa Assignments. You may use this rubric to self evaluate whether you have done an excellent, satisfactory or insufficient job completing the assignment.
