OBJECTIVE: Select one work of space art from a particular genre, period, or culture, and adapt it to your own new work using the conventions of another genre, period, or culture (for example, film to painting, or mid-century to Pre-Raphaelite).

Your supporting essay should detail the characteristics of the original work and its aesthetic-historical-cultural context in relation to the themes and issues of space art more generally.

You should then compare the characteristics of your work to the original, explaining why you made the decisions you did based on the aesthetic-historical-cultural characteristics of the genre, period, or culture you chose.

Finally, explain how your original work reflects the themes issues and history of space art you discussed and how it fits into our growing understanding of space art as a genre.

WRITING TASKS:  As you prepare your essay, think about the following:

First, include a thesis that makes an arguable claim about what space art is and why it is important in your introduction.

After that, provide a brief history and description of space art and it primary purposes and characteristics. This history should include discussion of major figures and phases in space art that support the claim you made in your thesis.

Then, introduce your original work. What is it called? What form does it take? What genre does it belong to? Who created it? When? Why?

Consider the original work through the lens of the history and characteristics you have provided. How does it reflect what you have told us about space art? Where and how does it fit into space art’s history?

• Describe the original work in detail. What does it look like? How was it made? Does it conform to the expected conventions of the form and genre or does it break boundaries? How or why?
• Next, go further in analyzing the original work. Look at it both artistically and historically. Break down its elements and explain how they work together and what messages they convey.
• Finally, describe your remake/adaptation of the original work. What form and genre did you choose? When was that genre most popular? What are the conventions of the form and genre you chose?
• Explain why you made the artistic choices you did given the form and genre you selected. How do they conform (or not conform) to the form and genre you chose?
• What did you learn about both the original artwork and your selected form or genre through trying to remake the work?

The empirical methodology is used to gather information on Indian manufacturing methods in this research. Percurrent research, the degree to which consumers are satisfied with a company’s overall quality management system may serve as the foundation for a model. According to the journal Quality Management Systems, more than a thousand studies have been published on the issue of the effect of quality management systems on corporate performance around the globe, including in the United States. However, there is little information available on the influence of quality management systems on company performance worldwide. As a result, the focus of the present inquiry is limited to the impact of quality management systems in general on company performance in India. The current research will be focused on the influence of quality management systems on the performance of Indian companies in the marketplace. Customers’ happiness as a performance metric was the major focus of this study, which examined the link between different TQM methodologies and this performance measure. As a result of the findings of this research, a technique for acquiring empirical data on 260 Indian manufacturing enterprises was published as a result of the findings of this study. Participants in the study were required to complete and submit a questionnaire outlining their respective firms’ activities and basic business practices to participate. According to the researchers, the model they developed, which consists of 10 quality management components, has made a substantial contribution to quality management research and development. In monetary terms, this indicates a significant quantity of money. With multiple regression analyses, we determined the effectiveness of numerous TQM methodologies. After doing a comprehensive review of the data, we decided whether or not our original assumptions were correct. This study used structural equation modelling to evaluate the link between overall quality management and customer happiness in the workplace (SEM). The findings of this study demonstrated a connection between the overall satisfaction of the sample with quality management and the scores obtained throughout the study. It was observed that the two variables had a statistically significant association with one another, respectively. Following the poll’s findings, it was determined that customer-centricity and knowledge management were essential in obtaining high levels of customer satisfaction.
