ART HIST 101 University of North Carolina Aspects of Negro Life by Aaron Douglas Essay

 

For this assignment, you are to choose one artwork from the list below these instructions that you will research on the Internet. You do not need my approval on the artwork and it’s okay if multiple students choose the same artwork. Overall, the point of this assignment is exploring how the Internet can be used as a tool in aiding your knowledge on a given subject.Please answer the following questions in order, numbering each answer:

  1. Why did you choose this artwork? Give your reason and then give 4-6 sentences of information about this artwork.
  2. Discuss the process you used in obtaining information (i.e. search engines, museum sites, library databases, etc.).
    • You need to provide a minimum of three sources and one of your sources MUST come from a GCC Library database: https://campusguides.glendale.edu/az.php (Links to an external site.) but please do not use ArtSTOR. It is an image database, not an article database.
    • Please list the websites you visited and talk about how useful they were.
    • You may NOT use any encyclopedic sources like Wikipedia or Brittanica.
    • You may NOT use your textbook as a source other than looking up where the artwork is located now.
  3. Was it easy to find information about this topic on the internet? If not, how did that hinder your process?
  4. Do you think the internet is a helpful tool for researching art? Why or why not
  1. Requirements:
    • All four answers should total 750-1000 words (about 200-250 words per answer, but some answers may be longer than others – that’s fine).
    • This is more of an exercise in researching than giving me every detail about the artwork you choose. Please keep that information to the length of 4-6 sentences.
    • You will absolutely need to cite your sources. Any time you get information from a particular website, be sure to copy and paste the web address into your answer, so I know where you got the information.
    • Grammar and formatting will be graded (100 points total), so be sure to proofread your papers for mistakes before handing them in.
    • You will type (or copy and paste from a word processing document like Microsoft Word, Pages, or Google Docs) your answers into the text box provided here
