It is recommended you use Google Cultural Institute to help you
on this assignment or you may use the websites of museums, cultural
institutions, or other academic online resources. If you use Google Cultural
Institute, register at the site. This will allow you to select images and
create your own gallery. On the Google Cultural Institute pages, browse and search
images and save them by clicking on the plus sign located above the image, near
the title. Once you have your selection of images, click on “Create your own
galleries…” or “My Galleries” to create a gallery using the images you have
saved. When creating your gallery, you must add a description to each work to
fulfill the requirements of this assignment; do this by clicking “Edit” under
each image when in your gallery. Finally, you must make your gallery public to
share it; do this by clicking on “Private” and then copy the url of your
gallery page from the address bar and submit this to your instructor.
If you do not use the Google
Cultural Institute to create a gallery, you may use another presentation tool
for this assignment, such as PowerPoint® or Prezi. If you do so, make sure to include correct APA
formatting to cite each image and resource, and include your descriptions in
the speaker notes or in another document.
