Explorers who has set out to discover traditional art

Reference no: EM13728264

All of the indigenous cultures that we have explored this week were at one time "discovered" by European explorers who often connected traditional art objects to take back with them to Europe as "curiosities." These objets d'art inspired collectors and artists alike and opened the Western world up to new ideas, new cultures, and new art forms.

This is Part 1 of a two-part assignment and spans Weeks 3 and 4. Imagine that you are one of these intrepid European explorers who has set out to discover and collect the traditional art forms created by the four cultures we have learned about this week:

India

China

Korea

Japan

As you "travel" and collect two works from each of your four cultures, you need to document some important field notes that will help you to explain what these treasures are upon your return home. These field notes need to include for each work of art:

Name of the culture that produced the object

Title or name of the object

Date of the object

Medium/materials used to create the object

Current location.
