ASSIGNMENT LOGISTICS: This assignment is to besubmitted to eClass via two submission points: one for your mind map and onefor your art, an image of your art, or a page with a link to where I can findyour art. If you are doing the visual representation option, be sure to also handyour art in during class. If you are doing the film option, upload itto YouTube and email me a link. It is the student’s responsibility to retain asecure copy (i.e. photograph, scan, back-up copy) of both pieces of thisassignment.WHAT I AM ASKING YOU TO DO: This assignment requires students to use thecreative arts and an accompanying mind map to reflect critically on what theyhave learned during the first section of SOSC 3116 about ways in which patientsare constructed, used, and understood by people who have power over the lives ofpatients.Your art and mind map needs to consider the following:o “The Patient” as a medical and sociological categoryo “Normal” patients and the “sick role”o The patient case file, and how institutions shape patient experienceo Research and medical experimentation on patientsThis assignment has 2 parts:1. Using class materials and course readings from Classes 2-8 as sourcematerials, create an original piece of visual art, video, music, or creativewriting (detailed below as Options #1-3) that presents and analyzes thepatient as set out in the above paragraph. Note that course materialincludes all readings, mini-lectures, evidence analyzed in class, andpresentations by class leaders. This should be a single piece or can be aset of thematically linked pieces, i.e. poem stanzas or flipping book, musicalpieces, cartoon segments, or scrapbook pages. Your art is not graded asart, but as an intellectual and creative interpretation of course material.However, to do well on the graded portion of this assignment, you need to2carefully reflect on how you intend to present The Patient artistically andput time and effort into your art piece.2. Create a mind map (detailed below) which accompanies your art-piece andexplains how you have represented and interpreted “the patient” in your art.Reference course materials to show how your art presents and analyzes“the patient”. The majority of your grade is based on your Mind Map.SECTION 1 – Your Art Pieces * DO NOT FORGET TO SIGN OR CLEARLYLABEL YOUR ART!Option #1: Visual RepresentationFor this assignment choice, you create an artistic, fictionalized representation thatexplores how we have studied and analyzed “the patient” in Classes 3-8 of thecourse. You can work in the mediums of painting, collage, fiber art, sculpture ordrawing.Option #2: Film/DocumentaryFor this assignment choice, you create a short (5-7 minutes) film that exploreshow we have studied and analyzed “the patient” in Classes 3-8 of the course.This film can tell a story or follow the format of a documentary, but it must beentirely fictional.Option #3: Creative WritingFor this assignment choice, you craft a piece of creative writing that exploreshow we have studied and analyzed “the patient” in Classes 3-8 of the course.Your writing can follow the format of a short story, a diary, or a series of linkedpoems, but it must be entirely fictional and approximately 7 pages in length,double-spaced.SECTION 2 – Your Mind MapMind Maps are tools for organizing information and ideas in a way that facilitatescreative interpretation. They have many applications at university. Here is ageneral video explaining Mind Maps https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1WhjPh3ZQ4Most people create Mind Maps by hand, but you can make one using PowerPointhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7cCYcZpo1zE or even Canvahttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0UcntYdvJWg if you are into that.3Label your Mind Map with the assignment title, course number, your name,student number, date of submission. Your mind map must be comprehensive, sotake time to carefully plan the structure and content of your mind map.Use your Mind Map to explain your Art by doing the following:o Write 2-3 sentences across the top of your mind map explaining why youchose to work in this specific artistic medium;o Visually explain how the creation of “the patient” – as we have exploredthis process in Classes 2 to 8 – is represented in your art. For this youneed to reference specific readings, mini-lectures, texts, and class leadermaterials. The more thoughtful this exploration is, the better your art andmind map will be;o Provide basic citations for all course material referenced (i.e. Davies, minilecture, May 10, 2022 OR Class Leader, May 15, 2002 OR C. Rosenberg,“Contested Boundaries,” 2006). I need to know where your information andanalysis is coming fromComments from CustomerPlease inform which option will you choose.
