Chinese art is extremely varied and diverse. Ranging from architecture, to painting, to sculpture, as well as monuments, Chinese admired their religion, rulers, and warriors through their artwork. For the group project, I think that we should each cover a different medium of Chinese art work, where one person would cover painting, another architecture, another sculpture, etc. I also think that it would be beneficial to divide these individual presentations into time periods, beginning with the earliest record of Chinese art, and ending with modern day art pieces. Our presentation should be very visual, with many slides being entirely pictures. I also believe a worksheet or sampling would be helpful to distribute to our classmates.
So as of now, would we all like to stick to each picking a type of art and presenting on that type of art, its history, and progression? If we stick to this idea, I would be willing to cover Chinese Painting, and expand on its history throughout time, as well as modern day Chinese Painting. I just talked to Alec and he said that he would be possibly interested in doing chinese monuments/pottery, but feel free to change if you would like. Matt, maybe you can do Chinese characters if thats what you're interested in, and maybe Tom can do architecture. Feel free to disregard this idea, and switch your topic if you would like. As of now, I plan on researching Chinese painting from its earliest account, and possibly add a few videos/demonstrations that I find through my research.
would any of you be free sunday afternoon to go over our presentation at cool beans or something?

I found a few links regarding the different areas of art that we would like to cover.

I think it might be a good idea to incorporate a video component into our presentation, instead of just lecturing.
I found a few videos on youtube that are demonstrations of how various forms of art are made -->
