Essay Homework: World Cultures
Create and Curate Your Own Art Museum
This homework is an alternative option for visiting a museum or art gallery. For this paper, you will select and curate a minimum of 5 to 10 works of art by 5 to 10 different artists to include in your own art museum. Use your textbook and online sources to help you find these works of art. A good resource for this homework is the Google Arts and Culture website from the Google Cultural Institute. Here you can immerse yourself in cultural experiences across art, history and wonders of the world-from more than a thousand museums across 70 countries.
