Assignment: Shifting Views of America
Create a timeline of 7-12 milestones in art and architecture that illustrate the transition from the Gilded Age to the era of the Ashcan artists. Each work selected for your milestones must be accompanied by a 90- to 175-word description addressing the following:
• How is your milestone reflective of society of the late 19th century?
• How is your selected work representative of either the Gilded Age, or the early modernist era as embodied by the Ashcan School?
• What is the subject or theme of your selected work? How is this theme representative of American society?
You may submit your timeline in a Word document, PowerPoint or use another tool such as Timetoast or Timeline JS.
Format your assignment according to appropriate course level APA guidelines.
