Shifting views of America

Shifting views of America

Create a timeline of 7-12 milestones in art and architecture that illustrate the transition from the Gilded Age to the era of the Ashcan artists. Each work selected for your milestones must be accompanied by a 90- to 175-word description addressing the following:

 

How is your milestone reflective of society of the late 19th century?

 

How is your selected work representative of either the Gilded Age, or the early modernist era as embodied by the Ashcan School?

 

What is the subject or theme of your selected work? How is this theme representative of American society?

 

You may submit your timeline in a Word document, PowerPoint® or use another tool such as Timetoast or Timeline JS.

 

Format your assignment according to appropriate course level APA guidelines.
