Travel The World Art

ART 1301- TRAVEL: Put it together Information

This course is particularly focused on helping you develop visual literacy skills, but all the college courses you take are to some degree about information literacy.
Visual literacy is really just a specialized type of information literacy.
The skills you acquire in this course will help you become an effective researcher in other fields, as well.
For this assignment, you are going to study one work of art in depth, by virtually traveling to the city in which your one work of art was made. You will study what the city was like when the work of art was made and what that city is like today. Do NOT confuse the city in which the work was made with the city where the work is located today, which is usually a museum.
Sometimes it is difficult to determine where your work of art was actually made. You may need to research this fact first. If you can’t figure it out, choose a different artwork.

Use these museums to find your artwork for the Travel Assignment:
