In-Class: 1. Introduce yourself 2. Introduce the project These are the points you need to hit, but add other information you feel is important: a. “One of the assignments in this class will involve writing about a significant person or even in US history. In addition to preparing brief written summaries about your chosen topic you will also be asked to find a work of art or an image that represents that person or event to you. So not only will you be using traditional sources such as journal articles and books to complete this assignment but you will also be introduced to databases that contain digitized works of art. We will have an entire session in the library to show you how to use these databases.” b. “But the research process is not going to stop with the written piece. We are going to create something with the research you have done. We are going to apply the knowledge you have learned. You will use the images you locate as a guide to creating your own collaborative work of art that others, outside of this class can enjoy and learn from. “ c. “We will be painting a mural with the help of a professional artist. Don’t worry about the artistic piece of this project
