OVERVIEW

A Virtual Tour will allow the student to visit a cultural heritage site via virtual touring over the
Internet. After completing all facets of the Virtual Tour, the student will compose a 400-word (or
more) Journal Entry based on the prompt. There are 4 Virtual Tour and Journal Entry
assignments in this course.
INSTRUCTIONS
The student should begin a Journal Entry by describing what they saw in the Virtual Tour. Please
use the textbook and library resources for further research and analysis. A Journal Entry must
include one citation – a direct, in-text quote – of an external academic source (an academic book
or an essay published in a scholarly journal) on the topic, in the current MLA Style format.
Follow these steps:
1. Please see the Virtual Tour and Journal Entry: Classical Architecture of the
Athenian Acropolis Resources section of the assignment prompt. Visit the cultural
heritage site Athenian Acropolis via the Internet, select “English,” click “Begin,” and
complete all facets of the Virtual Tour. Please also see the Alternative Virtual Tours
links in this section. To learn more about the Athenian Acropolis, view two videos in the
Resources section: “The Acropolis of Athens – Evolution in Time” and “Parthenon
through Centuries.”
2. Compose a Journal Entry of at least 400 words based on this prompt:
Choose two buildings erected on the Athenian Acropolis in the 5th and 4th centuries
BC and discuss how the principles of Classical Greek (i.e., neither Archaic Greek nor
Hellenistic nor Roman) architecture were expressed in each structure. How are
elements of the Classical Greek orders used in modern religious and civic architecture?
3. Begin a Journal Entry by describing what you saw in the Virtual Tour. Why and when
were the two buildings erected? Who were the architects? Describe and analyze each
building using the architectural terms learned: building materials and techniques,
plan/layout, exterior facades, orders (Doric, Ionic, Corinthian), columns, sculptural
decorations, interior, etc. Discuss and compare the purpose and functions of each
building. Reflect on a modern connection. Use the information in the textbook and library
resources for further research and analysis.
4. A Journal Entry must include one citation – a direct, in-text quote – of an external
academic source in the current MLA Style format. An academic source is either an
academic book or an essay published in a scholarly journal. Use the library catalog and
databases such as JSTOR and Project MUSE to find external academic sources in art
history. Do not cite the Virtual Tour, the textbook, the Bible, websites, popular
magazines and books, encyclopedias, or dictionaries.
5. Edit and proofread your Journal Entry before submitting it.
Note: Your assignment will be checked for originality via the Turnitin plagiarism tool.
