Analysis paper – indigenous modernisms

Instructions

Select an image you find particularly compelling from this week’s lectures. Write about it using the related reading assignments. (I chose this: Single Eagle Dancer watercolor and pencil on paper by Awa Tsireh ca. 1917-1925 )

Your analysis should use vocabulary from the lecture and reading correctly, demonstrate a grasp of the key critical ideas, and be original. Rather than summarizing the arguments of other authors, try to find a way to synthesize their ideas in your own analysis. If you quote authors, please use proper Chicago style citation (Links to an external site.). Please ensure that you clearly indicate the title of the artwork that you are discussing.Don’t just write about the work or what you learn in class, but develop your own ideas. I want to know what you think.
