Instruction
Requirements:
· Your show must have a title (think of something catchy)
· Your presentation should begin with a clear thesis and organization of ideas focused on a specific period or topic covered in our course (From prehistoric to 14th century).
· 10-15 objects/artworks must be included, identified properly with each object’s name/title, author (if known), date, and medium.
· A brief paragraph or two about each object and its significance (similar to a label at a museum). (This information must be on the slide itself and not in the notes section). Remember, you must tell me why the object is worthy of being in your exhibit!!
· Works cited/bibliography on the final slide
This is a research project for which you should be prepared to visit a library and/or make use of CSM’s Proquest database. Do not wait until the last minute to begin your research, as you may need to contact a reference librarian for assistance! Guidelines regarding plagiarism still apply...be sure your thoughts and observations are your own, or fully credited! Preparing a PowerPoint Summary involves a different approach from the other assignments in the course. It is an opportunity to use computer techniques, design skills, and visual communication.
It is important to use specific examples of works of art within the style to support your ideas.
This paper, while your opinion, must reflect an understanding of the reading about the period you choose. Explain the stylistic influences and its legacy. Discuss the political, cultural, historical, or environmental impact on the artists. Consider the typical iconographical choices of artist during the period and the interpretation associated with them.
