Part II - The Report: Discuss: In a 300-500 word essay, discuss how the assigned readings and website relate to Modernism and Technology. A) You can approach this assignment in a few different ways. You might choose to look through the different pages (Introduction, Themes, Timeline … ) and then watch the Video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WAWjiWqPYRO) or B) start with the video and then go to the works of art. C) After doing this describe some part of this exhibit (I especially like the painting Speeding Train by No Pannaggi ( 1922)) and D) Discuss how it reflects the theme of Technological Fundamentalism from my Lecture and Misa. In-text citations: Cite your sources using in-text citations in the format (Author, page #), or using footnotes in Chicago Manual Style.
Part III - Bibliography: Include a Bibliography listing all the sources you have used. I prefer Chicago Manual of Style: https://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/tools_citationguide.html
