The threshold concepts of writing in Writing about Writing apply to all kinds of writing– academic writing and all the writing you do beyond the classroom. This assignment helps you analyze how threshold concepts are
at play in previous writing situations and think about how your knowledge of threshold concepts can inform (and improve) your writing in the future. The assignment also demonstrates your ability to develop a clear
focus, present your analysis in an organized way, engage other points of view about writing, and use the conventions of academic writing.
Prompt
Review the major concepts from WAW and the writing you’ve done this term (in this class and outside of it). How do you see these threshold concepts in your past writing experiences? How do you see the threshold
concepts from WAW in your more writing experiences of the last few months? How have they changed your view of writing? How might that affect how you approach writing in the future? Choose one or two threshold
concepts and explore how they apply to your own experiences as a writer.
Barberini Ivory and Charlemagne Equestrian Statue Comparative
Read attached two readings.
Then select one of the following pairs of works; each were discussed in lectures. In a 550–700-word paper, compare the two works of art. What similarities and differences do you notice? What is at the root of these
similarities? How do their cultural contexts explain their differences? Focus on what you can see in the image and draw on information from lectures and readings.
Pairs:
Pair 1: Barberini Ivory, c 525 CE, Byzantine; and Charlemagne equestrian statue, Bronze, mid 9th century
Pair 2: Hagia Sophia, 532-537 CE, Istanbul, Byzantine; and Great Mosque of Damascus, 706-15 CE, Damascus Syria
Tips:
Focus on the formal qualities of the two works of art, and compare these formal qualities in your notes.
After comparing the formal elements, consider the social and historical contexts behind both works.
