Students will assume the creative role of curator and produce an exhibition on a theme/topic relating to some aspect of course material. The topic will be Ornament & Jewelry and this particular theme, must address the three cultures covered in this course: Ancient Egypt, Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome.

The exhibition must include:

A. A solid thesis -- a researched view (not a personal viewpoint) -- on what the exhibit is about, i.e. how these works connect to your theme, and ultimately what their significance as works represent.

B. 9 relevant images. Students are expected to visit several different websites to retrieve images (a minimum of three different sites).

The goal of the exhibition is to take a viewer through the theme/topic in a connected and seamless manner. The organization of the exhibition is paramount to the viewer's experience. Using Microsoft PowerPoint, may envision the exhibit's physical space/layout. Consider how you present information for the viewer to gain a more formal understanding of the chosen theme/topic. You may for example, choose the obvious chronological ordering, or you may opt for a different flow.
