Web Museum

You will develop a Web Museum using the textbook and outside resources to locate items on the Internet in online museums and libraries.

Textbook: Janson’s History of Art 8th edition

For each of the periods listed you will select one item to include in your museum (THERE ARE 12 TOTAL PERIODS). Each item should be a piece of visual art. Each piece should give museum visitors a good understanding of the civilization or culture of the appropriate time period. The references and links you provide will allow visitors to view the items.

A final document will include a description of each museum piece (100-word paragraphs in your own words for each piece), the Internet location, a visual image of the work, and the reference(s), using APA or MLA formatting.
