Term Project proposal due February 13th

 Visit the High Museum website for directions and details http://www.high.org/

• Go the the High Museum, with the lists provided in separate links on this website, and view the works on display. (I cannot guarantee that all the works on my list will be available the day you visit, as the museum often changes their displays -- however there are so many on the list, you will surely find something among them.)
• Keep your receipt from the Museum -- bring it to class when we meet on February 19th
• Select at least one work from the museum list that will be central to your term project (see directions for options 1 and 2 for ideas on how to select).
• Conduct preliminary research to determine that there are sufficient resources (scholarly books and journal articles NOT web material) for your study.
• Write a 1-3 paragraph theme/thesis statement in which you explain what your idea for the project is and how you will proceed.  Obviously this may change as you do research and think about what you have learned, but start with a working thesis, and be clear and specific about your intended purpose..
• Create a working bibliography of at least 4 sources.
• State whether you want to create a catalogue or a more traditional term paper or some other form of presentation, with a paper documentation.
• remember to gather the images you will need for the ultimate paper as you go along.
• If you have a different approach in mind, discuss it with me personally, before  you go to the Museum.
• If you need more help in getting started, come see me during office hours before you go to the Museum.

What you need to turn in:

1. museum receipt - write your name on it, bring to me on February 19th
2. typed, labelled thesis statement, including statement of intention to create catalogue or term paper or other form of presentation
3. working bibliography
4. annotated bibliography (separate directions will be posted for that)
