Scenario: You and a group of your friends have been talking about going on a trip to some different museums around the world. Before booking travel plans, you want to get a better idea of the types of artwork being featured in some of the museums. You have each decided to do some research before you come back together as a group to discuss where you want to go.
Your assignment is complete all of the rows and sections in the template provided below. You can use any museums or art galleries you like, and as long as all rows and sections are completed in the template, you can use more than one museum or gallery. Here are some possiblities – the Louvre, the British Museum, and the Smithsonian. Note: For the Louvre, there is a button on the top left side of your screen that changes the language of the site to English.
Go on a virtual scavenger hunt of your locations to gather information about the following genres within the visual arts: architecture, ceramics, crafts, design, drawing, filmmaking, painting, photography, printmaking, sculpture, and video, and complete the template.
