The color of an artwork can effect my feelings or moods by the warmth or coolness of the colors and the lightness or darkness of the tones of colors. For example, art that includes dark tones of red, orange and yellow can remind someone of burning flames and could cause someone to feel uneasy or even anxious. If this color scheme were brighter toned, it may remind someone of the fall season and it could cause excitement and joy. Artwork with darker tones of green, blue and purple could remind someone of a rainstorm and cause them to feel depressed, whereas a work with lighter tones of this color scheme could remind someone of calming ocean waves and make them feel at peace. I would personally use color and composition in art to provoke a calming response because I tend to enjoy artwork that makes me feel calm and peaceful. I would use bright tones of cool colors along with white, cream colors, and even some light gray shades to evoke a laid-back feeling to the piece. I would also not use any sharp edged shapes and lines and i would use a more rounded technique to whatever type of art I would create in order to make the piece easy to look at and in turn make the viewer feel at ease. This piece of artwork I have included is one of the canvas prints I have hanging up in my room. I don't know who it was created by since it was just something I bought from a popular store a long time ago, but it is one of my favorite pieces ever and if I had the means (or the talent) to create something like this, I would! I would make something like this because it has bright tones of cool colors like blue and purple and bits of bright pink and white, which are colors that bring me peace and make me think of things like ocean waves over a surfer. I like that it makes me imagine the surfer instead of a surfer being included in the work. I would also create this sort of piece because there are minimal harsh or pointed lines and shapes in it, and it flows effortlessly from one end of the canvas to the other.

2. ANCESTOR SCAVENGER HUNT
OVERVIEW
World History is an incredibly broad subject and we will just
scratch the surface of some key historical events, figures,
religions, and ideas; however, each of us has ancestors from
around the world and this assignment focuses on our
relationship to them and our past.
This assignment is designed for you to practice research on the
web and locate Primary and Secondary Sources. Additionally
we are developing several course competencies including
acquiring information, breaking multiple sources down into
parts, use of library resources, recognizing secondary sources
and locating primary sources.
Be sure you understand the difference between Primary Sources
and Secondary Sources when researching history by visiting the
resources page and visiting websites that describe the
difference, such as this LibGuide from American University.
INSTRUCTIONS
Step I: Select the culture of one of your earliest known
ancestors. (For example, are you German, African, Japanese,
Chinese, Austrian, or Russian?) OR if you prefer, you may
select one of the peoples from this module (Egyptian,
Mesopotamian, Indian, Chinese).
Step II: Search the Module 1 Web Resources pages and the
Internet for 10 different sources that relate to the culture term.
DO NOT USE the library to search for sources. You must have
a specific resource for each one, not an index and you should
have 10 different types of sources from the following list that
relate to the earliest recorded history of your ancestor’s
homeland. What you find must predate 1500 CE.
· Map
· Video Clip
· Audio Clip

3. · Photograph of ruins, monument, person, or historical site
· Government document or records, tablet, rock art, hieroglyphs
· Letter written by someone from the region
· Diary written by someone from the region
· Newspaper Article
· History Journal Article
· Web Article
· Glossary or encyclopedia-type description of the region and
culture of the past
· Picture of artifact
· Artwork related related to the culture of region
· Novel or short story about any topic related to your region and
culture before 1500 CE
· Textbook Reference
· Museum Exhibit
· Memorial or monument dedicated to an event or person related
to your culture or region prior to 1500 CE
· Picture (painting or other depiction of building, town, people)
related to topic
· Modern movie made about the culture or region before 1500
CE
Step III: Create an assignment that includes:
1. A one-paragraph description of what you learned about your
ancestor’s culture, everyday life, and region. (You should
concentrate on historical aspects of the culture.)
2. A list of your sources with a brief description of each source
and how it relates to your ancestor's homeland and culture.
3. Identify whether you think each web source is a primary or
secondary source based on the definition at the links above.
Step IV: Submit your paper as either a Microsoft Word file
(.docx) or in Rich Text Format (rtf) to the assignment folder by
the due date.
