Non-Western Research Project
APAH Midterm Project
Objective:
In pairs you will work to create a 15-minute mini-lesson based on your assigned culture.
Goals:
· To work with the other person also working on a chapter representing your culture. (ex. If you’ve got late Japan, you’ll work with the student doing early Japan)
· Your lesson must use the following technologies:
* Powerpoint Presentation
* Handouts (total of 11)
* A quiz on your lesson (must include both multiple choice and
developed short answer questions) that you’ll give for everyone to
take at home & an answer key for Mrs. V
Development of your PowerPoint:
- you must include a complete background on culture, religion and historical information.
- you must include at least 6 works which must include architecture, 2-D work and 3-D work. You must provide contextual analysis of each work in your slides.
- you must also include a minimum of at least 1 work from the European tradition to compare and contrast with one of the works from your non-western culture.
Format:
Your presentation must include:
1. 1 title slide with your culture, time period, and group members names
2. 4-5 background information slides (historical, cultural and religious)
3. 3-4 slides for each artwork explaining various details and significance
*use large, clear images of each work
*include a full and complete identification (title, artist, year, location)
*include patron and function of the work (who paid for it and what is it for?)
*major innovations or achievements
*visual description and/or aesthetic considerations
*comparison to western work
4. vocabulary slides at the end that clarify specific terms relating to the culture or art you’ve presented
5. bibliography slides
Art Units:
-Chinese (chapters 10 & 24) -Pacific Art (chapter 27)
-Japanese (chapters 11 & 25) -African Art (chapters 13 & 28)
-South and Southeast Asia (chapters 9 & 23) -Art of the Americas (chapters 12 & 26)
