Significant Object Analysis Worksheet

Discussion: Expanding the Definition of Being Human with Significant Objects and Artistic Expressions

For this discussion, you will pick a significant object. Your object could be a painting, a song, a dance, a photograph, a piece of art or craft made by a human. In academia, these significant objects are also referred to as artifacts – items we can investigate, describe, and analyze. Artifacts can be any objects that humans conceived of as art and deliberately crafted for practical or aesthetic purposes, or both. The only requirements are that your object have meaning for you, and you must be comfortable sharing it with the class.

To prepare for this discussion:

Review the Lascaux cave paintings resource. Read the description of the paintings and how they were “found.” Then watch the embedded vimeo video in full screen mode if possible.

Select your significant object and find a way to share it digitally. This can be a url/web address to a site where you can view it, or listen to it if is a song, or you can take a picture of it to upload to the discussion.
