For the art paper you must go on Youtube and take a virtual tour of a museum like the British Museum or the Smithsonian...This is part of the international section of the class. That means you cannot use American artists but must look at artists from Europe, Asia, Latin America, Africa, Australia  or  the Pacific Islands. Your paper should be about  600 words in length. You need to write about two different items from two different genres of art from two different continents.. Genres are fields of art such as pottery, weaving, sculpture, paintings, photography,.  So select an item from Asia and one from Africa. Or select an item from Latin America and an item from Europe etc. Then listen carefully as the tour guide talks about that item. Also read the museum placards that are posted by various exhibits. Jot down notes from those two sources. You can also look up a research article on the web about the artist or the item if you need to find additional information.Then you would need to tell me everything you can about each item i.e. what does it symbolize? how do you view it aesthetically, what it is  made out of, what are the colors, dimensions, when was it made and who created it etc. Only use items for your paper that are located in the museum you visit.
