Reflections on Project Four.

I've been working a lot lately so this project was sort of hurried together in the last two days. Still, I think it's pretty good. I wish I had more time to go into a little more detail than I did. The idea of my theme came to me during the semester as we were introduced to different artists. Being of German descent I took interest in all the different influential German artists that are mentioned throughout the book. I had no idea that Germany had such a rich art history. Usually when you think of Germans you think automobiles and invasions of France. With a little research I discovered the "Danube School', a group of German artists in the early 16th century that were known for their landscape paintings and etchings. I decided that this was an interesting topic to pursue and there you have it. I didn't have trouble finding images but I did have trouble with the background info on the works. Thats all I've got. I hope whoever revues this project likes it.
