The answers to the following questions can be used as a basis for parts

of your Project 1 submission. Keep these questions in mind as you

continue to learn about the artifact of human creative expression that

you chose to analyze. After thinking about the two to three artifacts

you were interested in at the end of learning block 2-1, choose one

artifact that you will plan to study further during this course and use

as the focus for your two projects. Compile your responses in a Word

document, being sure to answer each of the five questions below, before

submitting your work.

1. Identify your chosen artifact.
2. Describe the artifact in detail using any applicable senses mentioned in the overview.
3. What are the elements of the artifact that you believe are most important to how you experience it? Does the choice of medium impact your experience?
4. State your opinion on what you believe is the purpose of this artifact and the success of the creator in achieving the purpose.
5. Discuss how the artifact reflects the culture (or context) in which it exists. Be sure to address what aspects of culture have relevance for this artifact: politics, history, religion, social perceptions, technology, media, education, and so on. In other words, how do the artifact and its culture interrelate?
