Instruction
You are a tour guide assigned to lead a group of university studentsow an expert in, while also pointing out firsthand to the group of students, what is in front of them.
You will select and highlight two works of art (any of the four genres covered in the course is fine) from each of the three countries for a total of six works of art, to analyze in depth.
Write a 1,600- to 2,000-word paper that represents the three countries you visited and works of art you selected for your tour.
Each section of the tour will contain an analysis of the culture and two highlighted works of art for your pretend tour group in the countries you selected.
Post at least two images of selected art (any genre covered in the course) for each of the countries you chose to analyze, for a total of six images, all cited in APA format.
Address the following points to your pretend tour group, being creative with whatever language you think a tour leader would use with university students while guiding them through different cultures:
The title and artist of the piece (if knownif not known state why)
When and where the piece was created (if not known, state approximate date/time period and area)
The purpose of the piece
How the piece was made
What the piece reveals about the artists culture at the time it was created.
What the piece conveys to you, personally
Trans-historical connections to the artwork:
How art and culture from previous civilizations influenced the piece
How the piece still is valued and relevant in modern-day cultures
Post the above analyses in three organized, subtitled sections to correspond with the three cultures and related images you selected.
For each section, subtitle the above Trans-historical connections sections clearly so that I can easily find them.
