Assignment Question
Instruction: Choose ONE (1) of the following themes. This is an opportunity to show how you experience and understand the aesthetics of human movement in a meaningful way. Read through each theme description carefully to identify the one (1) to which you feel the most connected. Which of these aspects of AHM resonates with your experiences up until this point in your life?

Option 1: Horizons. For possibility to be aesthetic, the achievement of that possibility must transform you, your world, or your relation to the world. That means you experience a new horizon. What was once your limit is now transgressed, setting a new horizon. Your skills, capabilities, knowledge, and/or experience are now beyond what they previously were. You develop a new sense of “I can.” Write an essay that describes how you have experienced a new horizon in physical activity and how it was transformative.
Or…… Option 2: Doing & Undergoing. “Doing” and “undergoing” represent the two aspects that are fully integrated in an aesthetic experience. Too often, when people engage in physical activity, they focus on it as something they have to do (without inspiration from the undergoing) or something they undergo (without a sense of aspiring to do something). Describe how we can support others experience their “doings” and “undergoing’s” as unified in order to promote an aesthetic experience.
