Describe the interior of the museum and the placement of the art.

Medieval Art Review
For your proof:
Record a short video, between 3-5 minutes, of you taking a virtual tour of either the “The Advent of the
Artist” exhibition at the Louvre: https://petitegalerie.louvre.fr/visite-virtuelle/saison5/
Or the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam where you should also recognize some artworks of the Dutch
Baroque we studied: https://www.rijksmuseum.nl/en/masterpieces-up-close
Introduce yourself at the beginning of your video, then you can turn your phone/camera to your
computer/tablet for the rest of the tour. Talk about what you’re seeing. In these tours, you cannot
zoom in on all the artworks, but you can zoom in on several of them. Look around and see what tools
the museum has provided for you to learn more about the art.
There are many amazing museums with works of art from these eras to explore, but unfortunately,
many of them do not have virtual tours or the tours are poor quality. The two above were two of the
best. If you have come across any good virtual museum tours, please do let me know.
In addition to the above, watch the following video: https://youtu.be/ffJ7kuQpeVo of the Uffizi Museum
in Florence, Italy. It is 45 minutes long in total, but you needn’t watch the entire video. Everyone should
watch the first few minutes to see what the museum is like, then you may continue watching if you are
interested in seeing more Italian Medieval art. To skip ahead to the Italian Renaissance, go to about 14
minutes. You will see a room with Botticelli’s “La Primavera” in it. If you are most interested in the High
Renaissance, you can skip ahead to 37 minutes in. You will see a round painting of the holy family by
Michelangelo. None of the artworks are named, but the videographer provides some nice closeups, so I
wanted you to see it.
If you are more interested in Baroque art, you can choose to analyze one of the Rembrandt or Vermeer
paintings from the tours. Alternatively, if Caravaggio interests you, then you watch the video linked in
the Baroque Art module called the Power of Art: Caravaggio and choose a work from the video to
analyze. As I’m writing this, I cannot get that link to open without requiring a log-in. You should not
have to log in to the library’s databases through Canvas, so I’m hoping it is a temporary problem, but if it
doesn’t work for you, you can watch the video on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/CX_KWIvIVM8
If you need help identifying any artworks, please email me with as much detail as you can provide. If the
painting is from one of the videos, provide me with the timestamp.
Follow the directions for the museum review.
1. Each review must be a minimum of 750 words.
2. The first paragraph must include the name and location of the museum(s) you virtually toured.
3. Describe the overall museum. Answer these questions:
a. What types of artwork did you see during your virtual tour? Be as specific as you can
using terminology you learned in class.
b. Did you recognize any artworks? If so, what were they? Describe them briefly if you
cannot recall the title.

c. In your tour, did it seem the museum focused on a particular artist, theme, time period,
and/or medium? Why is this significant?
d. Describe the interior of the museum and the placement of the art. Do they complement
each other?
4. Write a critical analysis of a specific work featured in the exhibit. Include the name of the artist,
the title of the piece, the date, and the medium. If the work of art you chose resides in a
museum other than the one you used for your proof, make sure to identify the museum as well.
Describe the piece in detail using terminology you have learned in class. Analyze the content of
the work and discuss why you think the work is important. If the piece is historical, discuss its
cultural significance in regard to the period in which it was created. The document titled
“Learning to See” should help you a great deal. You can find it in the module.
5. In the final paragraph, explain why you chose this individual work to discuss. Include your
overall reaction to the museum. Answer these questions:
a. Did you enjoy touring the museum virtually? Why or why not?
b. Have you ever visited an art museum in person before? How do you think visiting a
museum in person compares to a virtual visit?
c. Would you visit an art museum in person in the future? Why or why not?
d. Do you feel you have a better understanding of the cultural significance of art? Why or
why not?
6. Provide proof of your tour of the museum. You will need to attach it in the comment section
when you upload your review. Please do not send your video by email. All your coursework
needs to be contained in Canvas.
You may want to review the presentation associated with the era of artwork you chose to analyze to
remind yourself of the characteristics, features, artists, artworks, and terminology associated with it.
Remember to use your own words when analyzing the artwork. Be careful not to “research” the work
other than to look up the subject if necessary. The description should come from you. The best analyses
will combine an analysis of the artistic elements of a work along with its context.

analyze. As I’m writing this, I cannot get that link to open without requiring a log-in. You should not
have to log in to the library’s databases through Canvas, so I’m hoping it is a temporary problem, but if it
doesn’t work for you, you can watch the video on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/CX_KWIvIVM8
If you need help identifying any artworks, please email me with as much detail as you can provide. If the
painting is from one of the videos, provide me with the timestamp.
Follow the directions for the museum review.
1. Each review must be a minimum of 750 words.
2. The first paragraph must include the name and location of the museum(s) you virtually toured.
3. Describe the overall museum. Answer these questions:
a. What types of artwork did you see during your virtual tour? Be as specific as you can
using terminology you learned in class.
b. Did you recognize any artworks? If so, what were they? Describe them briefly if you
cannot recall the title.

c. In your tour, did it seem the museum focused on a particular artist, theme, time period,
and/or medium? Why is this significant?
d. Describe the interior of the museum and the placement of the art. Do they complement
each other?
4. Write a critical analysis of a specific work featured in the exhibit. Include the name of the artist,
the title of the piece, the date, and the medium. If the work of art you chose resides in a
museum other than the one you used for your proof, make sure to identify the museum as well.
Describe the piece in detail using terminology you have learned in class. Analyze the content of
the work and discuss why you think the work is important. If the piece is historical, discuss its
cultural significance in regard to the period in which it was created. The document titled
“Learning to See” should help you a great deal. You can find it in the module.
5. In the final paragraph, explain why you chose this individual work to discuss. Include your
overall reaction to the museum. Answer these questions:
a. Did you enjoy touring the museum virtually? Why or why not?
b. Have you ever visited an art museum in person before? How do you think visiting a
museum in person compares to a virtual visit?
c. Would you visit an art museum in person in the future? Why or why not?
d. Do you feel you have a better understanding of the cultural significance of art? Why or
why not?
6. Provide proof of your tour of the museum. You will need to attach it in the comment section
when you upload your review. Please do not send your video by email. All your coursework
needs to be contained in Canvas.
You may want to review the presentation associated with the era of artwork you chose to analyze to
remind yourself of the characteristics, features, artists, artworks, and terminology associated with it.
Remember to use your own words when analyzing the artwork. Be careful not to “research” the work
other than to look up the subject if necessary. The description should come from you. The best analyses
will combine an analysis of the artistic elements of a work along with its context.
Medieval Art Review
For your proof:
Record a short video, between 3-5 minutes, of you taking a virtual tour of either the “The Advent of the
Artist” exhibition at the Louvre: https://petitegalerie.louvre.fr/visite-virtuelle/saison5/
Or the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam where you should also recognize some artworks of the Dutch
Baroque we studied: https://www.rijksmuseum.nl/en/masterpieces-up-close
Introduce yourself at the beginning of your video, then you can turn your phone/camera to your
computer/tablet for the rest of the tour. Talk about what you’re seeing. In these tours, you cannot
zoom in on all the artworks, but you can zoom in on several of them. Look around and see what tools
the museum has provided for you to learn more about the art.
There are many amazing museums with works of art from these eras to explore, but unfortunately,
many of them do not have virtual tours or the tours are poor quality. The two above were two of the
best. If you have come across any good virtual museum tours, please do let me know.
In addition to the above, watch the following video: https://youtu.be/ffJ7kuQpeVo of the Uffizi Museum
in Florence, Italy. It is 45 minutes long in total, but you needn’t watch the entire video. Everyone should
watch the first few minutes to see what the museum is like, then you may continue watching if you are
interested in seeing more Italian Medieval art. To skip ahead to the Italian Renaissance, go to about 14
minutes. You will see a room with Botticelli’s “La Primavera” in it. If you are most interested in the High
Renaissance, you can skip ahead to 37 minutes in. You will see a round painting of the holy family by
Michelangelo. None of the artworks are named, but the videographer provides some nice closeups, so I
wanted you to see it.
If you are more interested in Baroque art, you can choose to analyze one of the Rembrandt or Vermeer
paintings from the tours. Alternatively, if Caravaggio interests you, then you watch the video linked in
the Baroque Art module called the Power of Art: Caravaggio and choose a work from the video to
analyze. As I’m writing this, I cannot get that link to open without requiring a log-in. You should not
