3) Choose the four artworks, monuments, or buildings that were your favorites this semester (again choose two from the first half of the semester and two from our discussion since the midterm exam). Would you say that these works relate to each other? Explain the connections between them. Discuss them in the greatest detail possible and describe as many significant points of connection and/or difference as you can. Your discussion may range from formal analysis to iconography to any other points that you found significant this semester.

The 4 artworks where my favorite this summer were :

Jan van Eyck, Portrait of a Man in a Red Turban (Self-Portrait?), 1433, oil on oak panel, 26 x 19 cm (The National Gallery, London)

Jan Van Eyck, The Arnolfini Portrait, tempera and oil on wood, 1434 (National Gallery, London). Speakers: Dr. Beth Harris, Dr. Steven Zucker. Created by Beth Harris and Steven Zucker.

Casa Batillo by Antoni Gaudi.

Eiffel Tower by Alexandre Gustave eiffel.

4) If you could design an art history website and virtual museum, how would it look? How would it be? How would viewers/visitors learn about the many time periods, cultures, monuments, buildings, and objects discussed this semester? How would they find the information that they “need” to know, and then be offered further avenues of exploration? Be very specific about your design. What are the most important things for viewers/visitors to understand immediately? What avenues will you provide for deeper exploration? Again include discussion of four specific works, buildings, or monuments, two from the first half of the semester and two from after the midterm exam. Explain how viewers/visitors will encounter these artworks, monuments, or buildings and what they will come to understand.
