Question: Instructions: Exhibition of World Art

Imagine you are a curator at your local city's Museum of Art. You have been asked to organize a small exhibition of objects of art from the cultures of Asia, Africa, and Oceania. Your exhibition should include representative objects that highlight significant and essential ideas of each culture. You may plan to include actual objects in your exhibition, or photographs or models of larger structures or sculptures.

Survey your course textbook and reliable internet websites to locate two art objects from each of the following five cultures: India, China, Japan, Africa, and Oceania (the Pacific Cultures), that you would like to include in your exhibition. Your objects must date to the time period we are studying in this course (1300-Present Day). You will select a total of ten objects for display in your "Exhibition of World Art."

Then, write a "museum label "for each object within a Microsoft Word document. The following should be on the "label "for each object:

1. A photograph of the object

2. Identifying information:

• Name of the artist (if known-otherwise, attribute the culture)

• Title of the work

• Date of the work

• Medium/materials used to create the work

• Current location

3. A paragraph of 4-5 sentences describing why the object is representative of its culture and is culturally significant. Briefly explain why you have selected the object for display.

Finally, in a paragraph of 8-10 sentences, write a summarizing overview of your "Exhibition of World Art," highlighting key similarities and distinctions between the objects you have curated. Imagine that visitors to your exhibition will read this overview as they enter your "Exhibition of World Art," and provide them with any information or context they may need to fully appreciate the objects on display.
Offer a citation of your sources for each image and the information provided as appropriate.
