Back Review the Gallery Course Project Part I: Works and Theme 2 Theme: Introduction to the Humanities (week 2) / Page 2.4.8 Course Project: Part I: Works and Theme On this page: 4 of 4 attempted (100%) Objective: Identify and describe the two works you will compare for your course project, and discuss the theme you will use to analyze them.

Works and Theme

In this section, you will use four writing templates to begin work on part one of your course project, the exploration document.

Prior to drafting your exploration document, you will first turn in a description of the works and theme you plan to use for your course project. The writing templates on this page will guide you through the process of selecting your two works and describing the theme you’d like to use in your exploration document. Once you’ve completed all four writing templates on this page, your responses will be combined into a document that you will be able to download and submit to your instructor.

Choose Two Works

The first step in developing part one of your course project is to identify the two artifacts you want to compare, a theme that is common to both artifacts, and how that theme relates to your personal experience. So now comes the big question: Which two works will you select for your project?

Describe Your Works

The initial “description” of your two works deals primarily with the information required to identify them, so for each piece, use the identification information from the galleries to convey the following:

  • the title of the work
  • the name of the author, composer, or artist
  • the performance you’ve been evaluating (if the work is musical)
  • the translator and edition you’ve been reading (if the work is literary and translated)
  • the date (if known) and time period in which the work was created
  • the cultural location or physical setting of the artifact

The specific themes that Da Vinci wanted to communicate to his audience influenced the naming of the two paintings. Mona Lisa and the Last Supper paintings portray ancient cultural issues. The Last Supper painting depicts Jesus and his disciples who were Jews sharing a meal during the ancient Passover festival.

There are a a lot of cultural issues going on in the world. I feel like a cultural issue for me is with my supervisor. She is under-equipped for her job so she over- supervises her team always.
