You have been hired as the new curator for a major art gallery. You have been asked to put together a special showing of art pieces from four distinct time periods: Greek/Roman times (@ 800 B.C. - 400 A.D.) Middle Ages (@ 400 A.D. - 1400) Italian Renaissance (1400 - 1500) Northern Renaissance

Search the internet for pieces you like. Items selected can be canvas paintings, frescoes, sculptures, pottery, even buildings (for the two earliest time periods).Images should be in color.

Save an enlarged jpg image of each piece you have selected to your student folder. You will need to find and save your images before coming to class next _ _ _ _ _ _.

__Create a Word document to record the title of the piece selected, the name of the artist who created the piece, the year it was created, and where it is housed (museum name, city, country). Also include details about the piece (the story behind it) that you think museum goes would find interesting.  You will be adding your selections (images with accompanying descriptions) to our virtual museum next week. Four rooms (one for each time period) have been created to house your display.

This is a 50 point assignment.  10 pts. for jpg image 2 pts. if appropriate to time period 2 pts. for title/name of piece/building 2 pts. for artist’s full name 2 pts. for year(s) created 2 pts. for where housed (name of museum, city and country in which museum is located) __5 pts. __for story behind the piece/interesting details 25 pts.__ x 2 images__ 50 pts.  10A students are responsible for selecting the items which will be displayed in the Greek/Roman Room and the Italian Renaissance Room.

10B students are responsible for selecting the items for the Middle Ages Room and the Northern Renaissance Room.

Two or more students cannot select the same art piece for inclusion in our museum. You will need to collaborate/work with each other to ensure that this does not happen and that there are as many (or more) pieces on display in each room as there are students in your class period.
