Final Projects, Spring 2010 NOTE: you MUST speak to me about what you are doing at least once during the semester (you must have your project approved by me or I will not accept it). Hint: keeping me informed of what you are doing is a good way to get a good grade. Pick ONE of the following threads to follow: 1). Are You Creative? Research a technique or method used to make a particular sacred art object during the time periods we are studying. Use that technique or method to make your own version of a sacred object (need not be an ancient subject matter). For example, you might want to do a modern version of a Fayyum portrait, a terracotta votive, a fresco 'catacomb' painting or an ‘ivory’ (really bone) carving. Describe why you chose this technique, describe the technique as you made the piece, and show the result. You may find that a powerpoint presentation may work better than a paper; the last slide of your presentation should be a list of the things you read to complete the project in the ancient manner. 2). Spaces In and Around Philadelphia: Research a Sacred Space. For example, you may pick the historic Laurel Hill Cemetery, or the Japanese teahouse in Fairmont Park, the Frank Lloyd Wright Synagogue in Cheltenham, or the Indian Temple partially preserved in the Philadelphia Museum of Art. YOU MUST GO SEE THIS IN PERSON (attach entrance receipt to your paper). Compare this to one of the sacred objects or spaces that we studied: how are they the same? How are they different? If you need some help with the ancient parallel, come talk to me. I expect to see footnotes (but NOT necessarily quotations from authors!) and bibliography in this paper. If you are uncertain how to use either, come see me. 3). Objects for Worship: Research 5 items used in Roman religious life in the University Museum, which is on display in the Roman gallery (attach entrance receipt to your paper). Write catalog entries on each one; be sure to see me for examples of a good catalog entry.
