The Art Curation Project

Your art curation project will involve three elements: a platform like Artsteps, (you don't have to use this exact platform, of course, but it should do the trick) at least ten images of Matisse's work from the Cone Collection (found on our shared drive) and Gertrude Stein's "Matisse" from Three Portraits of Painters. Using Stein's piece as a guide, curate a virtual space using at least ten pieces of Matisse's work. I expect each displayed piece to include a quote from "Matisse" to help guide the viewer, plus any other material you deem necessary. You should not explain the curation in the gallery--instead, post a companion piece in your blog explaining your choices.

Quick Digital Story

For your quick digital story, write a story and use images and narration to tell that story. The purpose of the assignment is to familiarize yourself with some editing tools, and become comfortable with Youtube. Eventually, you will post a digital story about your digital humanities experience, but this first one can really cover any topic as long as it tells a story with images and narration.  

GIS Project for ENG 208

This assignment requires you use your ArcGIS account that is connected to our ENG 208 group. First, each of you is responsible for a section of the campus:

          Michael--Havre de Grace, Maryland, Fallston, Joppa
          Richaun--Bel Air, Student Center, Susquehanna, Belcamp
          Melissa--Aberdeen, Edgewood, Chesapeake, Darlington

For each building, you will be responsible for mapping five to ten points on the "ENG208 GIS Architecture" layer. You should all be able to contribute to the same map.

Each point should contain a photograph of an architectural feature of the building, (at least two of the required points must feature architectural features from inside the building) the name of the building, and, in the description, a quotation from one of the assigned readings and an explanation of how this quotation relates to the photograph.

By Friday, March 11, you need to write a blog post outlining some of your plans for the project. Ideally, this post will contain a few photographs and some quotations you are planning to map. The final GIS project is due Friday, March 25.
