The idea that I have for my project is sort of still an idea in progress type of deal and I think that it would be divided into three separate sections but I do not know if I am trying to focus on too much. The first section that I wanted to focus on was the architecture in Jerusalem now and the buildings that are around today and how they came about. I wanted to focus on the more modern Jerusalem and the buildings that I would get to physically see or that were made in say the last century or so. I wanted to see if there was any information on the architecture relating to the current fighting and also how the buildings may have some cultural history. In the second section I wanted to focus on the art of people from the region and art dealing with conflict or how each side portrays their view through artistic expression. There was a few websites that I found one was called resistance art and the other was dealing with artists from Israel. The third topic that I was interested in was just artist in general throughout history that have painted pictures depicting Jerusalem in the background or as the main image in their painting, and to see how the city has evolved through artists interpretations throughout the ages, also just looking at artists from around the world that have used Jerusalem as a subject to paint and the different views that the city could be depicted as. I wanted to use images and pictures and then find some information to present to the class about the pictures that I chose to depict certain aspects of my project. I feel that this is very broad and could be an extremely large amount of information but I believe that I could incorporate all the topics together and still be able to focus in on certain aspects of interest to sort of broadly represent my idea as a whole flowing project.
