Use your textbook and online sources to help you find these works of art. A good resource for this assignment is the website from the Google Cultural Institute. Here you can immerse yourself in cultural experiences across art, history and wonders of the worldfrom more than a thousand museums across 70 countries.

- Include a screenshot of each piece.
- Explain your initial reaction to the artwork you selected and explain why you chose each piece.

- Use the class text as a reference (additional sources are fine but not necessary unless required by your content). Your report should include connections you make between things observed in your activity and things learned in the course and text.
Note: The same rubric will be used for both options. In one section of the rubric, you are graded on your discussion of the role of the founder and curator of the museum. For Option 2, the roles of museum founder and curator are held by you.
