Project Example.This visual representation may be inspired by an artist or new trend in artwork of the time period. The student would use their written portion and presentation to explain this connection, the artist, and its importance. This is an excellent representation because it is inspired by the historical aspect, but not a direct copy. This meets the visual requirements. The student would now work to complete the written and presentation portion to meet the short essay requirements and the presentation requirement.
