Museum Report for Music Appreciation course

Description

Pay a virtual visit to the website of the Atlanta High Museum of Art (high.org) and browse the images of the museum’s collection. You will have to locate THREE works of art from the museum’s collection that HAVE SOME RELATION TO MUSIC. These may include paintings or sculptures depicting a musical instrument, a musical score, a person performing, singing, dancing, a multi-media work that uses music, etc. Once you have located them, you will have to write a 2-page report (minimum), report, which must include the following information: • Heading including your name, the date of your virtual visit, and the complete name of the course (not just “music appreciation,” please). Credit points: 5 • Font: Times New Roman. Size: 12-point. Spacing: 1.5. Credit points: 5 • Name of the author of each artwork selected. Credit points: 5 • Title of artworks (in italics). Credit points: 5 • Date of production (even if approximate). Credit points: 5 • Style period of each artwork (Middle Ages, Renaissance, Baroque, Classical, Romantic, and Modern). I prefer that you select works from different periods, but you will not be penalized for repeating some. Credit points: 5 • A couple paragraphs describing each piece: Credit points: 20 • A paragraph or two discussing how each of the art pieces conforms to the characteristics of the period it belongs to: “Why is the painting Baroque?” “Why is the sculpture Modern”? Credit points: 25 • A couple of paragraphs describing your reaction to each piece (be subjective and imaginative please). Credit points: 25
