  Applying Level and Style to Products

  General Instructions:

  Remember: in composing your responses to this task, please write in essay form and pay careful attention to spelling, grammar, punctuation, and clarity of expression. Both the content of your work and its presentation are important and will be evaluated as follows: 80% on quality of content (e.g., completeness, correctness, degree of advanced thinking, etc.); 20% on quality of communication and presentation.

  Task:

  In this task, I would like you to explore the “creative style” and “creative level” of a contemporary product of your own choosing that has an impact on society today. In doing so, you will be extending the concepts of creative style and creative level from “people” to the “products” they create in order to gain further insight into the type of change a product represents in relation to the prevailing paradigm in which it is found.

  For this assessment, I would like you to apply the criteria detailed in the article, “Sorting Out Creativity in Design Assessment” by Jablokow and DeCristoforo (2008). The article is located in the Library Reserves for this course. Your task is as follows:

  1. First, select a contemporary product that has had a notable impact on society (e.g., iPod; tablet PCs; smartphones; digital cameras; batteries; etc.). You will also need to identify some of this product’s predecessor(s), which you will use as benchmarks to evaluate the type of change your product represents. Provide an overview of the prevailing paradigm in which the predecessor and current product(s) are found.
  2. Next, assess the creative level of your chosen product using the criteria shown in Table 1 of Jablokow and Decristoforo’s (2008) article. Please explain your reasoning in depth and justify your evaluation of the product’s level.
  3. Next, assess the creative style of your chosen product using the six factors proposed by Jablokow and DeCristoforo, namely: the type of technological change, acceptability, feasibility, efficiency, method, and knowledge content. Please include an explanation to justify your rating of creative style for each of the six factors, and also provide and discuss a summary rating as shown in the article.
  4. Based on your assessment of this product, discuss whether the style of change represented by your product might be characterized as an evolutionary/incremental (and therefore, more adaptive) change to the current technical/scientific/business paradigm, or is it more of a revolutionary/tangential (and therefore, more innovative) change? Provide a persuasive argument that justifies your view.
  5. Finally, describe how the Paradox of Structure applies to your product. Whatever style of change it represents, how is the product both enabling and limiting in terms of itsdesign and its use?

  • Logical mathematical.
  • Linguistic.
  • Musical.
  • Spatial.
  • Bodily kinesthetic.
  • Interpersonal.
  • Intrapersonal.

  Think about how would you test these dimensions of intelligence? For this assignment, assume you are going to test intelligence of people of two differing cultures.

  • Choose three of the above dimensions of intelligence to measure. Describe each type of intelligence.
  • Describe the two cultures you have chosen. What type of intelligence does each culture favor? What does it mean to be intelligent in each culture? What is the history of each culture? What is the environment like? Provide approximately half a page of description for each culture.
  • Describe how you would test these three different dimensions of intelligence in each culture. Do you need to test differently? Why?
  • Discuss theories of intelligence and how they account for cultural differences.

  $5.00

  Note: Answer each question in full sentences. Each answer should be from three to six sentences in length.

  1. In reading Canaday’s writing on early Picasso and early Cubism, I’m less interested that you memorize all of the intricacies of Cubism than that you get a sense of what Canaday thought was important about Picasso. Canaday’s describes Picasso in a manner that defined what people of the 1940s and 1950s expected of a “modern” artist. Answer two questions:
     1. What are some of the words that Canaday uses to characterize Picasso as a person and artist? Pick a few choice ones.
     2. How many times did Picasso change in the period described by Canaday? Why do you think that “changing” is important in describing a “modern” artist?

  1. On Gaiger:
     1. Summarize Gaiger’s argument about what American modern (abstract) art of the 1940s and 1950s stood for? Reading Stonor’s article on the CIA will help you to understand Gaiger’s text.
     2. What was “the primitive” for Newman? Does it seem different than the way that Picasso related to that term?
