Maximum 10-minute presentation (upload a 6-slide (minimum) PowerPoint

The aim of this assignment is to demonstrate your ability to understand and communicate how the presentation of an online museum collection reflects a specific narrative about Islamic art. Each student is randomly allocated a website to work with from the list provided in your course resources module. Please note that each museum website has a different way of presenting the collection.

You are required to:
* Explore the website allocated to you and explain its narrative by discussing its language (names, terms, …) and structure (pathways, depth, …).
* Website: https://collections.rom.on.ca/
* Your presentation should have a front page/slide or a title indicating your name and the name of the collection, be at least 6 slides – and no more than 12 slides.
* Listen to (Intro to the David Collection Website mp4) and explore the example of the David Collection, Denmark https://www.davidmus.dk/en/collections/islamic (Links to an external site.)  posted on the course resources module which provides a description on how to navigate a site and the different pathways and classifications under which a collection is presented.
* Compare your allocated website to the David collection in your final slide (optional).
* Provide the basic information about the museum allocated to you (when available) such as museum mission, name of the gallery where Islamic art is exhibited, aim of the gallery, when it was installed the last time, number of objects, …). You may find this information on the museum/gallery website. Please remember that museums do not always provide the same information.
* Incorporate analysis and references from one of the assigned readings or viewings (from weeks one and two) that demonstrate your understanding of the arguments in these narratives.
* Explain the narrative and presentation of the gallery/museum focusing on:
* How do they define Islamic art?
* How do they present and organize their exhibited collection (either the in-gallery collection or on-line)?
* What information do they provide about it? How deep do they go (tombstone, extended caption, catalogue entry, … see museum index in Course Resources)
* What is the overall narrative of the gallery (Is there an overall story? what is the story/stories they are telling)?
* Are the organization of the objects and the name of the museum/gallery connected?

A good assignment will:
Include a description and interpretation of the museums/galleries with full references (include links). Incorporate analysis and references from the assigned reading/viewing that demonstrate your understanding of the arguments in these narratives. Be 6-12 PowerPoint slides with recoded comments or an mp4 recording.

Assignment Checklist:
* Check the formatting of the images (images should be downloaded from the museum website and inserted in the document (using Insert/Picture from file) to avoid any image distortion). See Image Sizing PDF from course resources.
* Images should have captions stating what the image is and they should be fully referenced. In addition, if you get an image from a website, include source (link/URL).
