Art of the Non-Western World

Faylinda’s students have a two week research project during which they will apply the Research Process. They will present March 24-31.

Students will apply these resources:

Oxford Art Database (use MackinVia to access.)
At least one more of the following databases to gather additional context and primary sources: EbscoHost (or Explora), J-STOR, Gale World History in Context, Proquest E-Book Central (use MackinVia to access.)
Library Books which may include these works from H-B’s shelves or books obtained by Inter-library Loan from other APS schools. Obtain such proactively!
Magazines the library subscribes to: Juxtapoz or American Art (optional)
E-how “What is non-Western Art?” (extracted onto your paper assignment.)
“Major Cultures of the Non-Western World”: http://helen.iglouhost.com/NonWesternArt/Documents/NWArt_MajorCultures.pdf <– 1-page overviews of each region’s artistic focus to develop your over-arching question and focus questions.
Videos in Discovery Education can be useful. Ask for a demonstration of how to search. <– access from Rapid Identity.
While there are numerous broken links, some resources listed from Helen’s course are packed. Ask for Maggie’s “navigator” paper handout highlighting routes in to the best of the best. Importantly…
Helen’s links to art museum pages for you to locate primary sources (images of artwork from the Non-Western world) are repeated on the bottom of H-B’s Library General Research Guide for Art.

Composition of your slide show:

The caption beneath each work of art presented must include in teeny tiny font a complete MLA citation if the source was a book or library database. Your citation can be simplified for other sources, but include the URL, please.
Optional: Consider applying NoodleTools to create your source list, gather your images and export from it a perfect bibliography. It’s easy to access NoodleTools and get started.
Optional: Last slide of show can include a “Works Cited” slide to show college readiness. Apply this checklist if it helps.
