Outline of Movements in Art
Outline of Movements in Art
In Week 5, you will design an art gallery specific to a movement of your choice. To prepare for this project, this week you will examine the five movements listed below. To research the movements that we have not yet discussed in class, you will need to look ahead in your textbook and/or search for sources in the Ashford University Library.
Renaissance
Baroque
Romanticism
Impressionism
Modernism
In your paper, outline the following information for each of the five movements:
Include the name and time period of the movement.
Describe the movement, including unique key characteristics.
Identify two works of art that incorporate the significant characteristics of the time period.
Include the following basic identifying information for each: artist name, title of work, year completed, medium (materials from which the artwork is made), size, and current location.

Your outline must be at least two pages in length, excluding the title and reference pages.
Use at least two scholarly sources to support your points. The ProQuest and JSTOR databases in the Ashford Online Library are helpful sources of information, as is the ART101 Museum and Images Website document located in your classroom. From the library home page select Find Articles and More and then select Databases A – Z. From the list of letters, you will choose the “J” link for JSTOR or “P” for ProQuest. Then, scroll down to JSTOR or ProQuest.
Watch these tutorials on using the scholarly database JSTOR and ProQuest to help you find scholarly articles to use for your project (available in your classroom).
