| Final Assignment Now that you have learnt about the evolution of art from the 14th to the 18th century, it's your time to shine! Describe your own piece of art (painting, statue, etc), in one of the styles that you were taught during this course. If your creative skills allow it, you can instead bring it to life by drawing it (or sculpting it, if you dare!). The artwork/description of the artwork must be accompanied by a small paragraph of 120 words, which must include the corresponding period and its characteristics/elements, and a brief description of what is illustrated. The paintings and sculptures of those who will choose to bring their artwork to life, will be shared on the eclass anonymously, for the rest of the participants to see. |
