Ransacked!!!!

Hello! 

My name is Detective Greene. The National Museum of Art has just been Ransacked by theives.

All of the artwork has been found, but we need your help reassembling it on the walls of the Gallery.  Please help us put the artwork back in order according to the date it was created.

Thank you for your assistance!

Please complete these tasks!

1.) Please view each piece of art that is a part of your Gallery.

2.) Please find this piece of art on your Gallery's websites using the webquest.

3.) When you find the artwork, please write the approximate date that it was created on a notecard.

4.) Place the picture and the notecard on the timeline where they belong.

5.) Repeat steps 1-4 for all of your pictures.

6.) Make sure all of your pictures and dates are in the correct order.

Thank you for your assistance!

On a piece of looseleaf paper please respond to these questions:

1. Name one of the timelines.

2. Compare or make connections between two timelines. (For example, were any artifacts created around the same time?)

3. Choose any picture on any timeline. 

    Can you infer what might have caused the artist to create this? (For example, what might have been going on in their environment or world at that time?)

4. These exhibits need names. Please suggest a unique, but accurate name for one of the exhibits. You must also explain why you gave it this name.

When you are finished, please make sure your name is on your paper. You may read quietly or work on other homework until everyone is finished.
