Art paper

Dr. Yasmine Al Saleh, MIDTERM SPRING 2021

• From the syllabus “The intention of this course is to critically think about the term “Islamic art and architecture.” A student should develop an understanding of the “Islamic city” and the material culture (manuscripts, ceramics, glass, textiles, and other objects) that surround the history of the Islamic dynasties.” Think about this as you study for the MIDTERM

• Part 1- Watch the “Al-Fann” virtual exhibition- there are 28 objects that I talk about. Choose 4 objects from the exhibition and write about them and how they compliment or expand our knowledge of the class- Due Wednesday April 21-11:59pm- out of 40 points/10 point for each object you choose.

• Part 2 on Monday APRIL 19 during class time- choose 2 objects or forms of architecture from week 1-7 that are highlighted in this power point (April 14th MIDTERM REVIEW powerpoint) and come to class prepared to talk about it- 5 points for each object you choose- total points 10. They must be objects you did not write about in your three response papers.

• The midterm is 50 points and counts as 15% of your grade.
