The Task

The task will focus on Paul Simon's desired activities or lifestyle in early, middle and older adulthood and the connection to major themes and issues dealt with in his music. Working in a group and individually you will explore adult development issues as portrayed in the lyrics and life of Paul Simon, then create an original artwork from your interpretation, analysis, and synthesis of the songs of Simon.

Remember this project is more than an assignment. It is a tool that will assist you in developing critical and creative thinking skills through exploration, analysis, and synthesis of concepts important in adult development.
