Due to the poor weather and road conditions, Aneesa and I were not able to do any further research at the library today. However, I began writing out everything that will be going into our timeline.
Each event on the timeline will have a blurb about the time period, the art era, the artist, and their art piece. Here is an example of one of the blurbs I wrote out about Kehinde Wiley's Officer of the Hussars: "Kehinde Wiley is known for his work depicting African Americans in a different light than the one they have typically been depicted in in Western Art History. Many of his art pieces are naturalistic and often include dramatic floral or abstract backdrops. His art piece, Officer of the Hussars from 2007, is a reproduction of Theodore Gericault’s Officer of the Hussars, but instead features a black man wearing jeans, a white t-shirt, and boots. While Wiley’s painting differs from that of Gericault, it actually parallels the same idea of strength and confidence but in a more contemporary fashion." A similar format is used for all of the different artists and artwork I am including in the timeline. Writing out these blurbs was how I spent the majority of my snow day, and while tedious, it really made me feel as though I was rounding off the independent study really well and finally putting everything I've learned together.
