Limitations of the study

Your reaction to the artwork is an important component of your evaluation: what do you feel when you look at it? And, do you like the work? How and why do you find it visually pleasing, in some way disturbing, emotionally engaging? How have your opinions of the work changed over the course of your interaction and analysis?

CRITICAL (FORMAL) ART ALAYSISWhile restricting our attention only to a description of the formal elements of an artwork may at first seem limited or even tedious, a careful and methodical examination of the physical components of an artwork is an important first step in “decoding” its meaning. It is useful, therefore, to begin at the beginning. There are four aspects of a formal analysis: description, analysis, interpretation, and evaluation.Description:Analysis:Once the elements of the artwork have been identified, next come questions of how these elements are related.Interpretation:Interpretation comes as much from the individual viewer as it does from the artwork. It de- rives from the intersection of what an object symbolizes to the artist and what it means to the viewer. It also often records how the meaning of objects has been changed by time and culture. Interpretation, then, is a process of unfolding. A work that may seem to mean one thing on first inspection may come to mean something more when studied further. Just as when re-reading a favorite book or re-watching a favorite movie, we often notice things not seen on the first viewing; interpretations of art objects can also reveal themselves slowly. Claims about meaning can be made but are better when they are backed up with supporting evidence. Interpretations can also change and some interpretations are better than others.Evaluation/Judgement:All this work of description, analysis, and interpretation, is done with one goal in mind: to make an evaluation about a work of art. Just as interpretations vary, so do evaluations. Your evaluation includes what you have discovered about the work during your examination as well as what you have learned, about the work, yourself, and others in the process. Your reaction to the artwork is an important component of your evaluation: what do you feel when you look at it? And, do you like the work? How and why do you find it visually pleasing, in some way disturbing, emotionally engaging? How have your opinions of the work changed over the course of your interaction and analysis?Note: Evaluating and judging contemporary works of art is more difficult than works that are hundreds or thousands of years old because the verdict of history has not yet been passed on them. Museums are full of paintings by contemporary artists who were considered the next Michelangelo but who have since faded from the cultural forefront.The best art of a culture and period is that work which exemplifies the thought of the age from which it derives. What we think about our own culture is probably not what will be thought of it a century from now. The art that we believe best embodies our time may or may not last. As time moves on, our evaluations and judgments of our own time may not prove to be the most accurate ones. We live in a world full of art, and it is almost impossible to avoid making evaluations—possibly mistaken—about its value. Nonetheless, informed evaluations are still possible and useful even in the short term.

Summarize the target population: Use your knowledge of your community to provide context and illustrate the dynamics of the population.

Write a 2,100- to 2,800-w0rd needs assessment. Use the following sections to organize your pap3r:

Summarize the target population: Use your knowledge of your community to provide context and illustrate the dynamics of the population. You may wish to incorporate details like demographics, social structure, community culture, history, values, and even its infrastructure. 
Examples of a target population:
trauma survivors
preschool children with autism-spectrum disorders
adults in a substance-abuse treatment program
homeless individuals
client advocates
parents 
administrators
human services professionals
Describe this population?s perceived need(s).
Incorporate relevant research from your literature review in the Week 5 Needs Assessment Part 1 assignment.
If necessary, read additional articles on the topic so you are well-versed in the needs of a particular population.  
As needed, include existing data from published studies in this section of your report. 
Describe the current status of the population in your community. 
For example, if you are interested in addressing the needs of homeless people in your community, describe the services and resources currently available and accessible to this population. Many needs may already be met by existing programs and services. Describe these needs.  
You might also wish to describe the evolution of the population. What changes has this population experienced in recent years? What has remained the same? How might the population change in the future? 
Create one additional strategy for collecting information about the needs of the target population (in addition to reading literature and interviewing specialists).
For example, you may decide to administer a questionnaire or organize a focus group. Discuss your strategy in detail. If there is already a validated questionnaire that is relevant to the group you are assessing, describe it. If not, describe the type of instrument that would be useful in assessing the needs of the target population. For additional information on needs assessment strategies, conduct additional internet research.  
Create a general plan for data analysis.  
Although you will not actually collect data, determine which approach (mixed methods, survey, or action research) you would most likely use. Provide rationale for your answer.
Once you have collected data, either qualitative or quantitative, you need to analyze and interpret it. Explain how you would do this.  
Describe 1-2 potential interventions or strategies for addressing your target population?s need(s). 
Typically, the next step in a needs assessment is to analyze the data and use the results to plan appropriate interventions. Because you are only planning and not actually conducting a needs assessment, you will not have actual data to analyze and use. However, you may still anticipate the needs of a given population by reflecting on the information you have gathered
For example, if the information you gleaned from research articles and your key informant suggests that the homeless population in your community needs education on existing mental health services, you may develop a plan for helping the homeless population learn more about community mental health services currently available to them. In other words, you can devise a strategy for increasing awareness of mental health services. Keep in mind your plan will be general and tentative because you have not actually analyzed data.

 Identify something that you did that was highly unusual or bizarre. You do not need to share what you focus on, unless you choose to do so. Your task is to identify the underlying reasons why you did what you did in terms of the following approaches: (1) Maslow’s hierarchy of needs framework, (2) control theory, (3) intuition theory, and (4) self-talk. 

1.  Identify something that you did that was highly unusual or bizarre. You do not need to share what you focus on, unless you choose to do so. Your task is to identify the underlying reasons why you did what you did in terms of the following approaches: (1) Maslow’s hierarchy of needs framework, (2) control theory, (3) intuition theory, and (4) self-talk. 
2.  In my frequent struggle with running away and seeking isolation, behaviors I dislike and find triggering, psychological frameworks provide valuable insights into the motivations underlying this pattern. The urge to distance myself appears rooted in a profound yearning for belonging and esteem when examined through Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. By withdrawing from challenging environments, I unconsciously attempt to fulfill these fundamental human needs that were notably absent in my childhood, marked by familial addiction and neglect.
From the perspective of Control Theory, my inclination toward running away and isolation becomes a strategy to assert control over circumstances perceived as chaotic or emotionally overwhelming. Creating distance serves as a means to gain a semblance of control over my environment and emotions, a response shaped by the tumultuous experiences of juvenile detention and familial neglect.
Intuition Theory introduces another dimension, suggesting that I may instinctively follow my inner guidance. Driven by a desire for self-expression and creativity, choosing isolation might be an intuitive response to an internal need for solitude to process emotions and regain mental balance after enduring adverse circumstances.
Reflecting on Self-Talk reveals the role of internal dialogue in reinforcing this isolating pattern. Consciously or subconsciously, I convince myself that running away and isolating is a form of self-protection. The internal narrative likely emphasizes the necessity of distance as a means to avoid emotional harm, contributing to a reinforced pattern of isolation as a coping mechanism.
In essence, these psychological frameworks collectively offer a nuanced understanding of my responses to a challenging upbringing and emotional struggles, shedding light on the intricate motivations behind my behaviors of running away and seeking isolation.

The ANA has stated, Education for those in the health-care professions must increase in depth and breadth as scientific knowledge expands” (Catalano, 2012, p.91) According to Catalano, there has been a lack of adequate preparation for educating clients with self-management concerns, particularly clients with chronic illnesses, and this lack of education is a serious violation of ethical responsibilities by health care providers. Do you agree or disagree with these statement and why?
