Personal Narrative Essay

Target length: 2 pages, double spaced (600 words).
Preparation: Readings in The Art of Being Human and discussion participation.
Purpose: To enable you to make a meaningful connection between what you are learning and your personal experience.

Task: In this Personal Narrative Essay, you will write about a personal experience with the arts that was meaningful for you. When describing your experience, choose the most important details and develop them into a well organized essay. Make sure to identify and describe the event, place, artist, artwork (see “The Disciplines of the Humanities” in the textbook for various genres), and other information that were the essential part of your experience so your audience can understand the context of your experience.

Also in your essay, explain the reasons why such an experience with the arts was meaningful for you (or worth writing about in this course). Did it disturb or excite your feelings? Was you moved/shocked by the subject matter, artistic quality, or something else? Did it challenge your assumptions about something you might take for granted? Did it change your perceptions about the arts, the humanities, the world, etc.? Did it make you discover something new or different about yourself or others? Exploring these questions can help you realize and articulate how the arts impact your understanding of self, others, and the world.
