1. Pick a German artist or architect, or a German work
Pick a German artist or architect, or a German work of art or architecture, and do a bit of
research. (Certainly, musicians are “artists” too, but we will devote an entire discussion to
them alone and their works in a couple weeks so let’s focus here just on art and
architecture.) Then, share your research in your own words with me and your peers. First,
let us know what you have decided to focus on and what inspired you personally to make
this choice of topic. Next, discuss at least three reasons, supported by your research, why
your chosen artist or architect, or German work of art or architecture is important. Wrap up
your post with a simple reflection on what you consider to be the most important cultural
aspect of your topic. Please include images, sounds, and/or videos to illustrate your
presentation. Be sure to INSERT and NOT attach the images, sounds, and/or videos. Cite and
fully reference sources, including images, with the Author, Title & Date, include links, and
put quotes around direct quotes that you borrow. Images also require copyright permission
if they are not Creative Commons licensed or Public Domain. For all your German and other
foreign language references and citations, you should be using the MLA Style format.Read
your peers´ posts to enrich your understanding of the German-speaking world, past and
present. Respond to your peers by engaging them in a discussion of their chosen artists and
architects, and their works.
