Choose one object currently on view at either the Brooklyn Museum or the Metropolitan Museum of Art (or elsewhere in New York, with my approval) and write a 3-5 page object analysis based on the object itself. The object may come from any period or culture.
View the object as it is currently displayed and take pictures of the object. While you are in the museum/gallery, take notes on how the object is displayed, what information the museum/gallery provides on the object, and how the object is situated in relation to other objects.
Then, choose two scholarly peer-reviewed pieces of writing that either directly address the object chosen or the artist/culture that made it.
Write a 3–5 page essay engaging your formal and contextual analysis and the views taken by the authors that you have read.
