The main objective of this assignment is to select an object from a digital collection in a major modern art museum (e.g., MoMA, Guggenheim, Art Institute of Chicago, The Metropolitan, Tate Gallery, etc.) and compare its stylistic elements to works we have discussed in class.

The PowerPoint project should provide context (e.g., artist biography and training, significant historical, economic, and/or scientific developments) and describe the object in a format that is bulleted, paragraph, and/or verbally recorded. Also, include comparison slides — as many that make sense. The comparisons can be to several other pieces that may have influenced the subject matter, style, use of materials, etc. Conclude the presentation with a slide that offers comments about why this is a significant object.

This PowerPoint project should be approximately fifteen to twenty (15-20) slides, including an Image Index at the end that serves as a "works cited" or bibliography that cites the collection, artist, title, date, size, medium, et cetera.
