Final Project: Create a History Project

Take something you have learned this semester and create an art project.  The project must cover one topic entirely -- for example, World War I, Civil Rights, the Industrial Revolution, Atomic Energy or Atomic Bomb, the Rise of Communism, Native Americans, the Holocaust, the Great Depression, the Transcontinental Railroad, etc.

Select any topic relating to this class that interests you.  Remember where we started and where we ended with the topic, and then cover the in-between.
  • Painting
  • Song / Parody
  • Movie / Historical Fiction
  • Comic Strips
  • Board Game
  • Video Game
  • Drawing
  • Children's Book
  • Presentation Board / Collage
  • Quilt or Sewing Projects
  • Clothing / Costume
  • Welding / Metal Work
  • Woodworking
  • Sculpture / Pottery
  • Local History Documentary
  • Diorama / Model
  • Food: Decorate a cake, cupcakes, etc.
  • Etc. -- If you have an idea, ask.
There are no size requirements, but effort is a huge part of this project.

Suggestions:  
  • If you're going to do a board game, you might look through your closet for games that are missing pieces or hit the Goodwill store or yard sales and start with an actual game board.
  • If you want to do a song, start with a Karaoke version of a song you like and make a parody using your topic.  (See example below)
  • If you're going to do something like a drawing, it needs to be pretty comprehensive.  Don't throw together a 5 minute drawing and expect two weeks credit.
  • Consider a project that is good enough to use as classroom decoration.  Extra credit if you let me keep your project for the classroom.  :)




































Here's an example of a teacher doing a history "parody" used for teaching:
In this video, Megan Leach sings "Obama's Gone".  She made this near the end of the 2016 Presidential Election.  The poor music playback quality was my fault.
