Q Write a 300-word minimum personal response to the online tour of the Acropolis Museum. Your response must have two components: (1) a summary of a few artifacts in light of this week's course material (including cultures and dates/periods), and (2) a personal reflection on the chosen artifacts and on the museum itself. Please provide links to the artifacts you highlight in your Museum Tour Response. Your response is due by [Week 6, Day 2]. Assignment purpose: This assignment will allow you to explore the online presence of world-class museums, and thereby gain more depth in understanding the cultures and periods under consideration for the week. This will be accomplished by following the link given in the "Online Museum Tour" section of the week's Learning Activities. (course objectives 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.6, 3.2, 4.4) Grading: 1. The Museum Tour Response must meet the 300-word minimum. A deduction of 10 points per 50 words short will be applied. 2. A minimum of two artifacts must be addressed in the response (including a hyperlink to each artifact). An automatic 10-point deduction will be applied if only one artifact is addressed, and a 25-point deduction will be applied if no particular artifacts are addressed in the response. "Exhibits" do not count as individual artifacts. 3. The response is to be written in complete sentences, including proper grammar and spelling. Excessive writing errors will result in a deduction.

The first artifact that I have chosen is the statue of Athena and this is the remains of an ancient Greek sculpture, probably of goddess Athena. It was probably built during the 1st century AD, during the Roman period and the material used for the statue is marble form Pentali. The statue is extremely detailed as even the head of the statue is missing, the drapes on the dress of the statue shows the intricate attention paid while crafting it.
