final project milestone 4 1
Having a working knowledge of the literature that was being produced in the same era as the artwork you chose is important in order to gain an understanding of what was being said about, and read about, within the cultural context of the society at that time. Literature is an art form, of course, and the literature of the time is a reflection of the artistic and creative mindset of the era. Any piece of literature that is considered the benchmark of its time will reflect the great and transcendental thinking of that era—which in turn, will be reflected in other art forms, as well.
Final Project Milestone 4: Describe the historical and cultural context of the literature written in the same era as the artwork you chose.
In Week 1, you identified a local exhibition, event, presentation, or production of an art form that you could attend by the end of Week 4. In Week 2, you selected the art form and within that art form, the specific work of art that you investigate and explore for your Final Project. In Week 3, you discovered and outlined the influence of the philosophical and religious environment in the era in which your chosen work of art was created.
