WE ARE ONLY ADDING TO THE PAPER PART OF THE PROJECT, I AM LEAVING EVERYTHING SO YOU CAN HAVE THE IDEA AND CONNECTION WITH POWERPOINT.
· We only have three pages done for the written part of this project; I will upload it so you can sync it.
· I will upload the Powerpoint as well so you can see the whole project so far. We are working on it part by part and getting feedback from professor.
· Please check the Case studies that we currently have as well, for connecting it.
ISOURCES ARE VERY IMPORTANT: I WILL LEAVE A LIST FOR IDEAD, PLEASE SEE PDF FOR IT.
A 10-page ( YOU WILL NOT DO 10 10 PAGES ) double-spaced final paper, including 8-10 properly cited references. At least three of your references should be Earth Science references, and at least three should be Art History references. No more than 4 of your references should be websites. If you are working in a group, it is important to ensure that the various components of the paper work together with a stylistic flow and are formatted consistently. The best way to do this is to have one person who is responsible for the final round of editing and proofreading.
For your selected material, you will research:
· the chemical and physical properties of your rock or mineral;
· the conditions under which the material forms in the Earth;
· where your material was mined or sourced, in antiquity and today (if appropriate);
· what processing is needed to turn the raw Earth material into an art material;
· symbolic, religious, or political significance (if any);
· 2-3 case studies of a work of art or architecture that uses the selected material;
· how the physical properties of the material – for example, its color, hardness, clarity, stability – influence its symbolism or use in art and architecture; and
· how the relative rarity/abundance and difficulty/ease of transportation and processing impact the value and usage of your material in history.
