Outline on Artifacts | Coursehero Helper

Help me study for my Art & Design class. I’m stuck and don’t understand.

This week you will begin your Timeline Project by producing a detailed outline that identifies the artifacts by period that you will investigate. Your outline should include the following.

1. An identified artifact for each period described in the Course Project Overview
2. The name, period, producer (if applicable), and image of each selected artifact
3. A quick three- to four-sentence analysis that explains the significance of the artifact to the specified period.

This will not only help you create the foundations for your Week 8 Timeline presentation but will also help you see how all of the pieces of this class fit together and give you an opportunity to demonstrate how much you have learned about being a student of history and the humanities. I hope you will take this opportunity to find some aspects of each period that interest you. You are not limited to the events and/or artifacts listed in your textbook. The sky is the limit!

Project Description

For each period we’ve studied, you will need to include the following.

• Discussion of three political, religious, economic, or social events that occurred and how those events affected the humanities.
• Detailed discussion of one artifact from each period (the same period of the three events that you chose) and how it exemplifies or reflects some of the defining characteristics of the period. These artifacts may be literary works, examples of architecture, paintings, sculptures, songs, fashion, and so on. Please check with your professor if you have a question about the types of artifacts you’re choosing.
• Please provide a reference page or slide.

Tips

It may be most helpful to review your notes from a period, do a bit of research and decide which cultural events are the most interesting to you. Then, please choose an artifact from that period that resonates with you.
