Pay a visit to the Atlanta High Museum of Art, located within the Woodruff Art C

Pay a visit to the Atlanta High Museum of Art, located within the Woodruff Art Center (1280 Peachtree St NE, Atlanta, GA 30309. MARTA: Arts Center Station). If you absolutely cannot go in person (which would be a pity), you may pay a virtual visit to the museum collection of any of the best museums in the world. These include The Metropolitan Museum or the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), both in New York; the Chicago Institute of Art; the British Museum or the National Gallery (London); the Louvre Museum (Paris); the Prado Museum (Madrid), etc. If you choose this option, you must notify me well ahead of time.
You will have to locate THREE works of art 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 sound, etc. The three artworks should belong to different periods, although you won’t be penalized if you include two works from the same period. The artifacts you choose should be from WESTERN ART. You can certainly choose artworks that belong to non-Western peoples or civilizations, if you prefer. However, it may be difficult for you to follow the rubric below, so please keep that in mind.
Once you have located them, you will have to write a three-page (minimum) or four-page (maximum) report of your visit, which will 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
Titles of artworks (in italics). Credit points: 5
Dates of production (even if approximate). Credit points: 5
Style period of each artwork (Middle Ages, Renaissance, Baroque, Classical, Romantic, and Modern). 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. For example: “Why is the painting Baroque?” “How does the installation conform to the characteristics of the Modern period”? Credit points: 25
A couple of paragraphs describing your reaction to each piece (be subjective and imaginative please). Credit points: 25
I will greatly appreciate if you take pictures of the artifacts, though you will not be penalized if you do not.
Some advice:
Start your visit from the top floor, which is dedicated to Modern art. You may find some interesting pieces there. Then, continue with your visit in the lower floors.
If you want to write your report early but the works you have selected for your paper belong to periods that we still haven’t covered in class (for example, there is a piece from the modern period and we are still discussing the classical period), complete what you can and leave the analysis of that specific piece (point 8 above) for last.
