Art History
Students will assume the creative role of curator and produce an exhibition on a theme/topic relating to some aspect of course material. Sample themes/topics include but are certainly not limited to: Places of Worship, Death, Architectural Innovation, Ornament & Jewelry, Roman Wall Painting, Hadrian’s Villa, et al…If selecting a particular theme, the curated exhibit must address at least three cultures covered in the course: Ancient Egypt, Ancient Near East, Ancient Greece, Ancient Rome, Early Christian, Romanesque & Gothic, and Proto Renaissance.
The exhibition must include 7-10 relevant images. Students are expected to visit several different websites to retrieve images (a minimum of three different sites). The goal of the exhibition is to take a viewer through the theme/topic in a connected and seamless manner. The organization of the exhibition is paramount to the viewer’s experience. Depending on your chosen technology platform, you may envision the exhibit’s physical space/layout. Consider how you present information for the viewer to gain a more formal understanding of the chosen theme/topic. You may for example, choose the obvious chronological ordering, or you may opt for a different flow.
Topic: The Afterlife
Exhibition Text:
The following will be embedded in the exhibition:
- Title of the exhibition
- Introduction that includes what, as Curator, you want the viewer to gain from this presentation. What was your rationale for selecting these images?
- Include roughly a paragraph for each image that explains its importance.
- Provide a brief visual description and note how the theme/topic is reflected. Consider the style and context of your selected works.
- Highlight important visual or historical connections between images.
- Wrap-up with a conclusion that ties your work together. How does your exhibit contribute to our understanding of course material?
- Works Cited in MLA or APA citation style
All images must be captioned with artist/architect (if known), title, date and original location.
