Using Multiple Intelligences to Brainstorm Alien Concept Art Using Multiple Intelligences to Brainstorm Alien Concept Art Directions: Students will either rotate in groups through the activities or be given the the materials and stay in one area to com​ p​ lete the tasks. In each activity students will be given a different task and resources or materials to help them brainstorm ideas. After each group has completed each task, students will reflect in their Concept Art Character Design Groups. Task 1: Verbal/Linguistic: Students will create a rhyme or phrase that compares the human race as a whole, to a fictitious ​ alien life form (the group creates) and the planet they reside from. Pick a real planet that NASA believes is in the habitable zone of a solar system. See the link below: http://www.nasa.gov/ames/kepler/nasa­keplers­hall­of­fame­small­habitable­zone­exoplanets Type or write your Rhyme or Phrase Here: Task 2: Logical/Mathematical: Students will solve the problem of how far planet earth is from the planet their group picked. ​ The planet should be chosen from the Kepler Planets NASA believes is one of the habitable zone planets where their alternate life force resides. Students may have to do a little research. Use the link below: http://www.nasa.gov/ames/kepler/nasa­keplers­hall­of­fame­small­habitable­zone­exoplanets Name of Habitable Zone Planet Here: Knew Name your group has given it: Distance from Earth: Diameter or Size of Planet Compared to Earth: Task 3: Bodily/Kinesthetic: Create a short skit that includes dialogue and action, showing the moment when mankind ​ meets the groups fictitious intelligent alien life force from the planet ______________________(your planet here). ​ Title: Actor 1: Actor 2: Dialogue: Action: Task 4: Musical/Rhythmic: Create a song with rhythm to send out into the universe as the first possible correspondence ​ with another intelligent life from. Or choose a song and explain why your group picked the song to broadcast to the universe. Examples: Radar Makes Round Trip To Moon 1946­01­31 Universal Newsreel Project Diana Earth­Moon­Earth https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uAiC6J89Tr0 Carl Sagan ­ 'A Glorious Dawn' ft Stephen Hawking (Symphony of Science) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSgiXGELjbc Task 5: Visual/Spatial: Each student will draw/sketch a picture representing what they believe other intelligent alien life ​ forms may look like. Students will also describe where they come from and the cultural norms they follow. ​ Resource 1: Michio Kaku on Alien Brains: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=2&v=Izp7q6OXXS4 ​ ​ Note: Use white drawing paper and pencils/color pencils or pens to draw. Task 6: Interpersonal: Students will pair up with a friend/partner in their group and describe the difference between an Alien ​ Concept Artist, an Alien, a Resident Alien and a Non­Resident Alien using the internet / smartphones. Alien Concept Artist Alien Resident Alien Non­Resident Alien Why do we call people aliens in the United States? Do you agree/disagree? Why? Task 7: Intrapersonal: Students will independently practice drawing/sketching their alien concept art character design. ​ Note: Students will be given more time to develop their alien concept art in the following activities. Debrief with your Concept Art Character Design Group: After everyone has completed each task, reflect with ​ your Concept Art Character Design Groups. ● Students should think about which activity they preferred and which one they remember the most. ● Students should discuss if the activity they remember most is congruent with their dominant intelligence? Whole Class Share Out: Students will share at least 2 concepts that each group came up with for the Verbal, ​ ​ Musical, Logical or Visual .

  • From Disney to Avatar: Nature & Spirituality in Popular Culture
    From Disney to Avatar: Nature & Spirituality in Popular Culture SECTIONS REL 3938: Tuesday, 1:55-2:45; Thursday, 1:55-3:50; Florida Gym 220 INSTRUCTORS Professor Bron Taylor (Ph.D.) Email: [email protected] Office: Anderson 121 Office hours: Tuesday 3:15-4:30 p.m., and Thursday, 4-5 pm (by appointment by the end of the immediately preceding class period) Susan Shaffer (M.T.S.) Email: [email protected] Office: Anderson 121 Office hours: Wednesday 11-2 p.m., and by appointment DESCRIPTION Course Description Focusing on the period since Walt Disney began making animal-focused documentaries and animated films in the 1930s, up through the blockbuster motion picture Avatar (2009), this course examines religious, spiritual, and political dimensions of artistic productions, scientific representations in museums, and other cultural inventions (such as theme parks), in which nature takes center stage. We will explore the cultural tributaries, influences, and controversies such productions engender, for they constitute important ways that environmental ethics, and quests for environmentally sustainable livelihoods and lifeways, are expressed and promoted. The course will enhance students’ abilities to interpret these cultural productions and their evocative power and explore their own reactions to these social phenomena. Purpose and Objectives 1) complicate and thus make more critical and sophisticated what students understand by terms like religion, spirituality, nature, and popular culture. 2) provide students with an understanding of different ways to study beliefs, perceptions, and practices related to what people variously construe as religion or spirituality. 3) illuminate the ways in which religion, spirituality and nature-related values are constructed, expressed, and contested in popular culture.

  • The Routledge Companion to Remix Studies
    THE ROUTLEDGE COMPANION TO REMIX STUDIES The Routledge Companion to Remix Studies comprises contemporary texts by key authors and artists who are active in the emerging field of remix studies. As an organic interna- tional movement, remix culture originated in the popular music culture of the 1970s, and has since grown into a rich cultural activity encompassing numerous forms of media. The act of recombining pre-existing material brings up pressing questions of authen- ticity, reception, authorship, copyright, and the techno-politics of media activism. This book approaches remix studies from various angles, including sections on history, aes- thetics, ethics, politics, and practice, and presents theoretical chapters alongside case studies of remix projects. The Routledge Companion to Remix Studies is a valuable resource for both researchers and remix practitioners, as well as a teaching tool for instructors using remix practices in the classroom. Eduardo Navas is the author of Remix Theory: The Aesthetics of Sampling (Springer, 2012). He researches and teaches principles of cultural analytics and digital humanities in the School of Visual Arts at The Pennsylvania State University, PA. Navas is a 2010–12 Post- Doctoral Fellow in the Department of Information Science and Media Studies at the University of Bergen, Norway, and received his PhD from the Program of Art and Media History, Theory, and Criticism at the University of California in San Diego. Owen Gallagher received his PhD in Visual Culture from the National College of Art and Design (NCAD) in Dublin. He is the founder of TotalRecut.com, an online com- munity archive of remix videos, and a co-founder of the Remix Theory & Praxis seminar group.

  • Rhetoric of Religion Retoryka Religii
    ISSN: 2392-3113 Rhetoric of religion Retoryka religii 2/2017 EDITOR: ANNA BENDRAT LANCE E. CUMMINGS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA, WILMINGTON [email protected] Science and the Religious Rhetorics of the Ineffable: A Comparison Between Two Cosmoses Nauka i religijna retoryka o tym, co niewysłowione. Porównanie między dwoma Kosmosami Abstract Since Thomas Kuhn’s revolutionary look at the social construction of science, research into the rhetorics of science has shown how science is a persuasive form of discourse, rarely as transparent and self-evident as is often understood. Rhetorical studies have taken this cue to examine how science is constructed through available means beyond mere logic. Arguably, the resurgence of creationist beliefs in political discourse has brought on a new impetus in science to persuade the “hearts and minds” of the American population, inspiring Neil deGrasse Tyson’s remaking of Carl Sagan’s 1980 documentary Cosmos. Using Rudolph Otto’s, The Idea of the Holy, this article will defi ne religion as an ineffable experience that creates “creature-consciousness,” or a sense of awe and insuffi ciency towards something outside the self, while also producing a sense of identifi cation or “oneness.” The ineffable experience is core to the public making of science, just as the ineffable experience plays a defi ning role in religions. Though science and religion are often seen as mutually exclusively (sometimes in opposition), identifying the ineffable experience as a shared ground can provide opportunities for science and religion to dialogue in new ways. Od czasu rewolucyjnego spojrzenia Tomasza Kuhna na społeczną konstrukcję nauki badania nad retoryką nauki pokazały, że nauka jest perswazyjną formą dyskursu, rzadko tak przejrzystą i oczywistą, jak często jest rozumiana.
