2) Art Detective: Find an image, object, artwork, architectural form, film still, meme, or any other visual form in our physical or online environment, which has not been discussed in class and which relates to your chosen term. This can even be an artwork/ visual form that you have created. Include a photo of your art detective along with a brief (3-4 sentence) explanation of your art detective. In the explanation, include the following:
a) Name or title of the visual form, if any. If there is no name/title say so.
b) What is it?
c) Where did you find it/ Where is it located? And if you created it – when did you make it?
d) Describe the connection between your chosen vocabulary term and your art detective.

Additional Guidelines:
You are encouraged to seek the art detective in creative ways in your physical or online world. It could be something you have routinely seen or lived with or forms you may have encountered in your physical travels or online experiences. However, it is also acceptable to include images of artwork from museums that you have not seen but sourced online. The key point is to make sure it is a correct art detective example that relates to your chosen vocabulary term.
