So, as has been said a bunch, we don’t have our textbooks yet.  And, as has also been said a bunch, Khanacademy.org can be an excellent resource and an excellent stand in for our textbook.

For this homework assignment, I want you to bump around the khanacademy website and kind of explore what is available to you.  As you do so, I would like you to find answers to the following questions.  All answers should come from the khanacademy site.

1. Find the video on carving jade within the Global Prehistory section.  In that video clip, what ancient form is being carved, and what is the meaning of that form?
2. According to the entry in the Global Prehistory section, what is the art historical significance of the Apollo 11 stones?
3. Use the search function on the website to find “classical orders.”  Tell me what the video on the classical orders is about.
4. Go through the larger website.  Provide for me a url for a portrait that was made during or after the 1500s.
5. Go through the larger website.  Provide for me a url that is a video for an archeological/architectural site.
6. Go through the larger website.  Provide for me a url for a page or video that is about a landscape painting.
7. Lastly, provide for me a url of something you stumbled across on the khanacademy site that was cool, but was not one of the answers used above.

Provide these answers to me via email:  james.elam@killeenisd.org.  This is a formative grade, due Monday, 9/18, by 11:00 p.m.
