For this assignment, you will create a cross-cultural timeline that illustrates how various cultures art and architecture overlap chronologically in ways that traditional art history has not always recognized.
NOTE: This must be formatted in chronological order along a timeline with dates. Do NOT submit a slideshow with just one or two artworks per slide. The point is to see these things along a continuous timeline to show their chronological relationship with one another.
Make a timeline that spans a period of at least 1,000 years. You must place at least TEN different works of art or architecture from at least SIX different cultures or countries (three European and three Non-European). Choose from the artworks and architecture we have seen in lectures or readings. You may choose from the following cultures:
- European:
- Prehistoric
- Ancient Greece
- Ancient Rome
- Medieval
- Renaissance/Mannerism
- Baroque/Rococo
- Neoclassicism/Romanticism
- Modern (Realism to Pop Art)
- Contemporary (ca 1960 to present day)
- Non-European:
- Ancient Mesopotamian
- Ancient Egyptian
- India
- China
- Japan
- South America
- Mesoamerica
- North America
- Africa
For each entry on your timeline, you must include an image of the artwork/architecture and the following information (if available): title, artist, culture/location of origin, date, and medium. You may create your timeline using a number of different methods (see example below). You can draw and color your timeline on unlined paper and turn it in during class (note that just pencil drawings on notebook paper will not be accepted – you must use color and have images). – OR – You can design the timeline digitally using Photoshop, Procreate, PowerPoint, Prezi, Canva, or another computer program or template and submit it on iLearn as JPEG or PDF.
