Monotheistic+Religion+Project

=Monotheistic Religion Project Purpose:  Building on the Religious Art Project for Hinduism and Buddhism, your group will once again research a significant image from Judaism, Christianity or Islam. This time, however, you will need to find one additional source of information, and then, after all groups complete their wiki posts, compare your image to one other image from a different faith. Once again, all students are responsible for all nine images. Assignment: Each group will be assigned a specific piece to research. After researching the significance of the image, you will write two paragraphs on the image and place your information on the class wiki. After viewing the other presentations, you will write a third and final paragraph comparing the significance of your image to an image in another faith. Specifically, you must do the following: 1. Find three sources of information about your piece of art. You must use at least one website and one database. The third source may be either a website or a database. 2. Transfer the picture of your artwork to the class wiki. Find two (2) more pictures of your image and transfer them to the class wiki. (5 points) 3. Under the research section of the wiki you must a. Cite your three sources in proper MLA format. b. Explain how you located your sources. i. What search terms, strategies did you use, etc… c. Add your research notes from each site. You may use bullet points. (30 points) 4. Under the summary section of the wiki, you must write two paragraphs. The first paragraph must describe the image while the second focuses on its importance to the faith. Your grade will depend on the quality of the content and focus (clear intro sentence and relevant supporting information) of your paragraphs. (20 points) 5. After viewing the paragraphs submitted by the other groups, EACH INDIVIDUAL must write a third paragraph discussing how images and artifacts enhance one’s understanding of religion. Your paragraph must cite your original image and at least two other artifacts. Once again, the grade for this section will depend on the quality of the paragraph’s content and focus. (20 points)=
