Artifact Analysis Worksheet
An artifact is something made by a human. It can be anything that a human conceived of as art. For this assignment, you are being asked to find and share a human-crafted object or artifact. It can be anything that was crafted deliberately.
Share your artifact and give a brief description. You can share the link, insert the image/picture, copy/paste, etc. Just make sure to cite the source of your artifact.
Write a short paragraph about why you selected this artifact. Tell the reader the story of you and the selected artifact from beginning to end. In other words, what's the story around this artifact as it connects to you.
Provide some additional research on this artifact.
For example, if it is a song, do you have information about the songwriter? If it is a painting, do you know any more about the artist? Describe any additional information that you have about the creator of the artifact. If the creator, or artist, is unknown, please provide your best guess as to who created the artifact.
Consider these questions: How has technology changed human art making? How has technology changed human art sharing? How do you, or could you, use technology in making your own art?
