ARP Experience

I know I’m posting this blog late.. but I already had it done.. I forgot to post it.

I have had a really tough time working on this ARP. I have my ideas in place but getting a thesis through has been the challenging part. I always have had problems writing a thesis for my papers. I used to follow a format on my previous papers, but this format will not work on this type of paper. The main point of my paper that I want to get across is to argue how I believe that post modern art damaged the meaning of what truly art is. I’m not talking about abstract art, because I love abstract art. But I have a problem of having someone grabbing a urinal, put it in the middle of a room, and calling it art. Another example is one of the exhibitions we just had in the Wexner center. The one with Andy Warhol.. I saw a painting that was created with his own piss.. like.. WTF?.. I think I have gotten my point across.

Something that has helped me with the revision of my paper was to look for better secondary sources that would do a better job on supporting my arguments in the report. Once I found the right secondary sources, the report began to flow easier and was able to get my arguments across a lot smoother. I completely disregard the two secondary sources I used for my draft 2 of the report and used completely new once.

For when we do our manuscript for commonplace, I will try to rewrite the report but in a way that would be more suitable for the commonplace audience. I will not need the full description of my primary sources, will reduce the size of the report to a moderate size (about two pages), and will focus on getting my argument across the report with much details as possible. I will have to also change my tone to a less professional tone to engage more with the Commonplace audience.
