Unit II Assignment

Art Gallery: Selecting a Theme and Gallery Pieces

Throughout this course, you will be working towards completing your course project, which is an art gallery. This project will be a PowerPoint presentation that you will build upon with each unit. After each unit, you will review your instructor’s feedback and revise your presentation accordingly.

For your first assignment, you will select a theme and five works of art for your art gallery. You will carry this theme throughout the course, and your additions for each unit will all relate back to this selected theme.

Using your textbook, select a theme. You can select an artist, historical period, or a type of art. It can be modern or traditional. Select a theme that interests you—one that you would be interested in learning more about. Once you have a theme selected, select five works of art that fall under that theme. You can use multiple works of art created by the same artist.

You will find a few examples of themes in the list below:

· Scenes depicted, such as war landscapes, water, or mountains

· Topics such as horses, flowers, or religion

· Types of art, such as graphic art, comic art, or photographs
