Assignment 1

1. Make groups of 2-3 people. With this group you are going to execute all the upcoming assignments. That means you’ll have to be able to work together, compromise and help each other come up with ideas.

2. Pure for inspiration, as a group you are going to go to the UNESCO website https://www.unesco.nl/nl/werelderfgoedkaart/list . On the UNESCO website you can find about 1112 pins showing the most beautiful places in the world (historically, culturally and nature places). Choose 2 places (1 cultural place and 1 nature place) in a country none of you have visited yet. Describe in about 40/50 words why you have chosen this place, why it attracted/fascinated you. Once again, this is only to broaden your horizons. Your travelling plans do not have to be based on these choices!

3. Think about which of the themes below gives you and your group the most ideas for your travels. Make a mindmap of 2 themes. This theme is going to be an important guideline for your trip and for the way you execute your assignment. If you come up with a theme of your own (ask the teacher for permission).

- Travelling through time

- Fashion

- Religion or something you believe in

Assignment 3: Your theme in the visual arts!

During your trip you will see a lot of beautiful things. For the categories architecture, paintings, sculptures, theatre arts (opera/theatre/musicals/dance), photography, think about what you would like to have a look at in the cities you have chosen.

Make sure to choose at least 3 things that you would like to see. Remember to make sure it fits your theme.

Note: there are of course a lot of very obvious choices that you can choose from, like for example choosing to see the Eiffel tower or the Mona Lisa in Paris. We would like you to think outside of the box and choose an original artwork that suits your theme.

Make sure to add a picture and state the artists, the year it was made and why you have chosen this artwork and how it fits your theme.
