Based on rise and expansion of Islam: Commerce and Cultural exchange accelerate in Afro-Eurasia c.600-1200. Finding a 3D project during this period and write an paper based on this. Object already choosed: https://www.davidmus.dk/en/collections/islamic/materials/ceramics/art/55-1974(requirements from Prof below)
a.Length of written portion of project: The written part of your project must top at minimum 1,250 words
i.Contents of text: in the introduction, you should first describe the material object (size, material etc.) and then explain its practical and other uses. The introduction should also clearly anticipate why this object is a significant testimonial of the themes or period you are commenting and which we studied and read about in class. The middle part of the text should include evidence for your arguments, and the conclusion should clearly restate your central points.
ii.Sources: You must use as a source at least one scholarly source, meaning a published book or article. All sources, whether scholarly or other, must be fully acknowledged at the end of your text. Your text must be written by you, and in your own words, and not copied from other sources without the use of quotation marks and an acknowledgement of your sources. If you paraphrase a source, indicate with a footnote your source. Remember, plagiarism is an academic offense and is easily detectable through search engines.
Note: to gain a sense of this approach to picturing and writing about history, consult with the BBC�s History of the World in 100 Objects series, see https://www.bbc.co.uk/ahistoryoftheworld/. The object you choose, however, CANNOT be one of the 100 objects in the BCC radio series nor can it be one of the �Objects of the Week� I will have discussed in class.
