The Quiz

THE QUIZ!

So this past week my mother had brain surgery in Michigan so I've been a bit detained and not able to do much from the hospital. I'm so happy to report that she is on the mend:) and finally at home recovering. So after giving this some thought on my delayed plane ride home today - we are going to do this a bit differently than a normal quiz. I would like for you to include an experience report in your journal that deals with an art object or music and or theatre that was made during the period of these last chapters that we covered. Please situate the work in the history of period of art and culture that it was made i.e. if I was to discuss Napoleon's National Portrait (him on the rather large bucking horse). I would talk about his evil plan to take over the world, why he was painted this way, what belief did it counter act or buy into and possibly where it was originally meant to be hung. I would also discuss how is this different to how you view it now? So you will have three experience reports to be included in your journal, not just two...this third will be graded and factored into your quiz grade (which could help boost some of you up). Remember to study for the music test. This will be matching and you will be provided with the author name, work title and year to match up with the song.
