Extra Credit!!
If you visit a museum, take a picture of an artwork (sculpture, painting, installation, etc are permitted) that you’re in (selfies permitted!), and use it as part of your project, you will receive 3 bonus points on your final project.
To receive the points you must, in addition to the above, send me an email and, either in the body of the email or in an attached word doc, answer the following questions. Informal writing is fine.
1. How do you think the exhibit you saw relate to the text you’ve focused on for your final project?
2. Why did you choose that specific artwork to incorporate in your project? What about that artwork interested you?
3. Was this your first time to that museum? Did you like it?
Remember that as a CUNY student, you have free / cheap access to museums across the city with your CUNY cultural pass, link to details here. Consult the museum websites for details, but this option definitely will not be prohibitive price-wise:
Links / Suggestions:
Current Exhibits at the MET, including a “Discovering Japanese Art” collection
Ancient Greek Art at the MET: Overall, the MET is the best place to go for exhibits that come out of the time periods we covered (Renaissance art for The Duchess, Ancient Greek art for The Oresteia / The Odyssey, Medieval Japanese art for Genji)
MOMA (Modern Art – So you’ll have to find a more conceptual / theme link to your text, as everything we’ve read is ancient – and you won’t find anything ancient at MOMA)
