Magna Carta, England, 1215 CE
Your job for each TCP is to clearly present a case for a particular work of art as exemplary
of its time and worthy of representation aboard your ship. Central questions: as we look
back at all the works of art that have been produced over the course of history, why is it
important that people remember and learn about this one? What did it mean at the time,
and what does its preservation stand to add to future human existence?
There are three stages for each TCP assignment:
1. writing and posting your proposal as instructed below,
2. posting challenge questions under your fellow classmates TCPs, and
3. responding to the challenge questions that your classmates have asked you
about your TCP, and defending your choice.
Each TCP should start with the following basic information:
1. The name of the work.
2. Creator of work (if known).
3. Date or approximate date of work.
4. A detailed description of the work (limit summary to one paragraph maximum,
then limit further description to those aspects of the work that help you best make
your arguments for its preservation)
5. A general discussion of the historical context of its time (what were some of the
major events that shaped life at the time the work was created?).
The following questions should then be addressed for each work:
6. How is this work typical of its era? (Be specific as to what was typical of its era,
and how the work fits into the cultural context of the era. This section should
specifically discuss form and content trends of the art styles at the time, that is, what
typical art forms looked like or sounded like, and what subject matter was typical
for that art form.)
7. How is the work innovative or unusual for its time? (Be specific as to why this
piece stands out from its peers.)
8. How was the work received in its time, and why? (Give evidence.)
9. What do people today think about the work? (Give evidence.) How do you account
for any differences between reception then and today?
10. What is your personal reaction to the work? What about it do you find
particularly meaningful? (Be specific.)
11. How does this work compare specifically to one other work of its type and/or
time? (Prepare at least a couple paragraphs of discussion, devoted to comparing and
contrasting this work to another in specific terms. This analysis may be
incorporated into your answers for questions #1 and #2 above, or may be its own
section depending on your style. Just be sure to address all of these questions in
some detail.)
12. What about this work is most significant for future generations to be aware of?
