construct your response in a clear and concise manner. Below are examples of a ″compare and contrast″ model of a paper, however, you can deviate from this. The prompts below are very broad, and meant to be that way so that you have room to explore your topic and perhaps uncover some concepts you have not thought of before. I encourage you to be creative and use this paper as an investigation that has meaning to you and perhaps enhances your course of study. Please feel free to ask any questions or pose some ideas for topics. Examples of comparative topics include: 1) use of color as visual language and as a component of trans-cultural/ transnational communication 2) cross-cultural and cross-national agencies that influence the developmental meaning of visual symbols 3) color and visual language as a cultural indicator of beauty, status, and group identity 4) strategies of visual propaganda, stereotypes and cultural myth building 5) an examination of the social and formal distinctions of artworks from different nations and cultures
