Choose two people from the Humanities. These two people MUST be from the Humanities disciplines covered in this course. (art, music, film, theater, literature, religion, philosophy.) Your two people must be from different time periods, and be connected in some way. Perhaps one’s work influenced the other’s work, or they both addressed similar topics in their work.

Step 2: Using the outline template located in Course Materials, create your outline, due Sunday

you will identify two figures within the humanities from two different time periods around whom you’d like to build your course project. We explore some historical figures during our first week together – musicians, visual artists, actors, writers, architects, thinkers. Try to pick two figures who have something in common, such as a musician and an earlier poet they were influenced by, or an artist from today who was influenced by a jazz musician from the past, or two people from the same genre, different time periods.

Devise a one-page outline about these two figures, who will be the focus of your project. The outline should also include their contributions to the Humanities and any similarities and/or differences between them.
