Goals:
To evaluate the students’ understanding of the arts produced along the African trade Routes
To cultivate excellent research and essay writing skills
Select an artifact from the Caravans of a Gold exhibition at the Aga Khan Museum and discuss its significance as an example of the arts produced along the Trans African Trade Routes. How does the artifact exhibit multiple influences of the global network of trade? Place the art within a historical context and discuss how the artifact of your choice exemplifies the values, politics and other impacts of that particular time and place.
