//I am juggling a few possibilities, and am having a hard time narrowing down the huge amount of opportunities for this project!// **1)** Through my HI233 (History of the World) class, I became intrigued with the history of the world! I really enjoyed learning about the Ottoman Empire, where the current day Middle East is now located. I would love to research the impact of other countries on the rise and fall of the Ottoman Empire, as well as what has been left from the Ottoman Empire itself (government, people, languages, etc). I would like to look more into the art, languages, and culture that currently exists, as well as the artifacts that existed during the Ottoman Empire. **2)** I would love to do something on the study of art -- possibly of a specific country or era of art. I think this could be vital information that I could combine with course content and work.


 * How did the Iranian Coup d'Etat (1953) effect the relationship between the Middle East and the United States?
 * What was the public perception of the Iranian Coup d'Etat?

Look at the varieties of Norman Rockwell's artwork! His work portrayed issues in American society and could be linked to history. I would like to know more of the public perspectives on his work and how the critics reacted to his work. Did they like the new optimism of his work, or was his work too representative of controversial social issues? What was the public perception of Norman Rockwell's artwork and its portrayal of social issues in America?

An analysis of Norman Rockwell painting is a great topic. As you may remember me saying, we are going to be studying Rockwell through an exhibit that is coming to the NC Art Museum in November. Since we will be be looking at the 40 plus painting that are a part of that exhibit, you will want to do something a bit different.

I think a good approach would be to look across Rockwell's body of work and try to identify some themes. You can treat the painting as text and analysis the work in the context of the time they were presented and the messages the paintings convey. The NC State library has a database called ArtStor - available at http://www.lib.ncsu.edu/databases/databases.php?alpha=A - click ArtStor and log in with your NC State id. When you get to the site, click the "Go" button in the upper right and the search on "Norman Rockwell" You will find 76 images in this collection.

Another great couple of sources are the Norman Rockwell Museum at http://www.nrm.org/ the Rockwell Center for American Visual Studies -http://www.rcavs.org/. The website for the center has some excellent contextual information that might help you identify a topic - http://www.rcavs.org/category/illustration-collection/

Another option is to examine Rockwell's Saturday Evening Post covers. All the covers are available online at http://www.saturdayeveningpost.com/norman-rockwell (click gallery). Another collection on the same website of illustrations inside the magazine is available at http://www.saturdayeveningpostcovers.com/search.php?af=norman+rockwell
